Few artists reach out to the public in as many ways as Midori. She is the best known, of course, as one of the world's leading violinists, performing over 100 concerts worldwide each season, but she also touches people's lives in many other ways. Among these is her current work as a Professor of Violin at the University of Southern California. In addition to her performing and pedagogical activities, she is committed to engaging in the community and actively participates in special projects and organizations, which aim to bring music to people of all ages and backgrounds. We are honored to have her performed for our young students.
