Artist Series: Midori, violinist, with the Lucerne Festival Strings

Midori is a visionary artist, activist, and educator who explores and builds connections between music and the human experience and breaks with traditional boundaries, making her one of the most outstanding violinists of our time. She will mark the 40th anniversary of her professional debut this season. In concert around the world, Midori transfixes audiences, bringing together graceful precision and intimate expression.

The Festival Strings Lucerne led by Daniel Dodds, was founded in 1956, quickly establishing itself among the most distinguished chamber orchestras in Europe and around the world. The orchestra offers a wide-ranging repertoire in its own concert series, at the Lucerne Festival, and some of the greatest concert halls in Europe. The Orchestra’s program with MIDORI includes works by Honegger, Schumann, and Beethoven.

The Grace Notes and concert take place in Edman Memorial Chapel, located at the northeast corner of Washington and Franklin streets in Wheaton. For ticket information, visit tickets.wheaton.edu.
