Never at rest\, Midori brings the same dynamic innovation and expressive insight that has made he r a prominent concert violinist to her other roles as a noted global cultu ral ambassador and dedicated music educator.\n\nA leading concert violinis t for over 30 years\, Midori regularly transfixes audiences around the wor ld\, bringing together graceful precision and intimate expression that all ows the listening public not just to hear music but to be personally moved by it. \; She has performed with\, among many others\, the symphony o rchestras of London\, Chicago\, Boston\, San Francisco and the Sinfonieorc hester des BayerischenRundfunks\, the Berlin\, Vienna\, New York\, Los Ang eles\, St Petersburg and Czech philharmonics and the Mahler Chamber Orches tra.

She tours Europe with the Munich Ch amber Orchestra and Japan with Estonian Festival Orchestra and PaavoJärvi . She undertakes a world-wide recital tour with pianist Jean-Yves Thibaude t and performs trio concerts with pianist Jonathan Biss and cellist Antoin e Lederlin.\n\nMidori not only brings a fresh perspective to established s tandards for violin but also ceaselessly strives to expand the repertoire\ , including through the creation of new works. Midori inspired Peter Eötv ös to compose the violin concerto DoReMi\, which she then recorded with E ötvös and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. The 2016 CD join s her diverse discography that includes sonatas by Bloch\, Janáček and S hostakovich performed with pianist ÖzgürAydin\, and a 2013 Grammy Award- winning recording of Hindemith’s violin concerto with Christoph Eschenba ch conducting the NDR Symphony Orchestra. The two-CD set of her highly-acc laimed interpretation of J.S. Bach’s Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violi n was released in 2015\, followed in 2017 by a DVD of the same repertoire\ , filmed at Köthen Castle\, where Bach served as Kapellmeister.\n\nIn her quest to explore and expand how music is essential to people everywhere\, Midori goes beyond the concert hall and recording studio to those areas w here music access is most needed. In 2017\, Midori celebrated the 25th ann iversary of the activities of two of her non-profit organizations: MIDORI &\; FRIENDS\, which brings high-quality music education to New York Cit y youth\, and MUSIC SHARING\, a Japan-based program that provides access t o both western classical and Japanese music traditions through innovative events\, activities\, instruction and presentations in local schools\, ins titutions and hospitals. Her PARTNERS IN PERFORMANCE organization\, founde d in 2003\, promotes interest in classical music outside of major urban ce nters across the United States\, while her ORCHESTRA RESIDENCIES PROGRAM\, begun in 2004\, encourages young musicians in the United States and beyon d to develop a life-long and multifaceted engagement with the performing a rts\, helping to ensure that the classical scene will continue vibrantly f or years to come.\n\nMidori also brings her activism to a global level. MU SIC SHARING’s International Community Engagement Program (ICEP) promotes intercultural exchange by enabling young musicians from around the world to come together and present community performances for audiences with lim ited exposure to classical music. The program’s ensembles have performed in Myanmar\, Bangladesh\, Laos\, Mongolia\, Indonesia\, Cambodia\, Nepal\ , Vietnam and India with follow-up appearances each season in Japan.

She has been honored for her international activism: in 2007\, UN Secretary-Gener al Ban Ki-moon named Midori a Messenger of Peace\, and in 2012 she receive d the Crystal Award from the World Economic Forum in Davos.\n\nThe same vi sion that motivates Midori’s activism – discovering and strengthening the bonds between people and music – also guides her educational approac h.

Her own degrees in gender studies and psychology from New York University (BA 2000\, MA 2005) strongly inform her holistic teaching philosophy: “ In our studio\, the tenets of Honesty\, Health\, and Dignity guide us thro ugh the times of trial\, self-doubt\, self-questioning\, and growth.”\n\ nMidori was born in Osaka\, Japan in 1971 and began her violin studies wit h her mother\, Setsu Goto\, after displaying a strong aptitude for music a t an early age. In 1982\, conductor Zubin Mehta invited the then 11-year-o ld Midori to perform with the New York Philharmonic in the orchestra’s a nnual New Year’s Eve concert.
