Honegger Pastorale d’Eté
Dubugnon Capris IV Es Muss Sein! Schumann Violin in D minor, WoO 23 Beethoven Romance in F major, No. 2 Beethoven Symphony No. 4
Wowing audiences since her debut with The New York Philharmonic at the age of 11, the Japanese-born phenom joins the Swiss ensemble. Midori is equally at home on concert stages worldwide as she is in her role as global human rights activist. Though debuting at The Soraya, she is no stranger to Los Angeles, where she acts as Distinguished Professor at USC. She appears twice on the program— Beethoven’s Romance in F major and Robert Schumann’s Violin Concerto in D minor, a piece shrouded in mystery, having been relegated to secrecy for eight decades following Schumann’s death in 1856. The program closes with Beethoven’s Symphony No. 4, one of the least performed of his symphonic works.

“Midori is still the singular sound of familiar from her long affiliation with the virtuosic standards: big, focused, strongly projected, uncannily smooth and consistent bowing across a broadband spectrum of volume and color.” – The Washington Post
