Biografia

[modifica | modifica wikitesto]

Spesso chiamata soltanto Midori, apprese le prime nozioni di violino da sua madre Setsu Gotō. La donna intuì l'innata musicalità della figlia quando questa, all'età di soli due anni, canticchiò un tema di Bach che la madre aveva provato alcuni giorni prima. Il fratellastro, Ryu Gotō, è anch'egli un violinista.

Midori diede il suo primo concerto pubblico all'età di sette anni, suonando uno dei 24 Capricci di Paganini. Lei e la madre si trasferirono negli Stati Uniti a New York City nel 1982 e Midori iniziò a studiare con la famosa insegnante Dorothy DeLay alla Juilliard School. Come pezzo per l'audizione Midori eseguì la Ciaccona dalla seconda partita di Bach, della durata di 15 minuti circa. Questo è considerato uno dei più difficili pezzi per violino mai scritti. Nello stesso anno, fece il suo debutto con la New York Philharmonic sotto la direzione di Zubin Mehta, un direttore con il quale registrerà poi numerosi concert

The Japanese-born American violinist, Midori, began her violin studies with her mother, Setsu Goto, after displaying a strong aptitude for music at an early age. In 1982, conductor Zubin Mehta invited the then 11-year-old Midori to perform with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in the orchestra’s annual New Year’s Eve concert. The standing ovation that followed her debut spurred Midori to pursue a major musical career at the highest level.

Midori is a visionary artist, activist and educator whose unique career has transcended traditional boundaries through her relentless drive to explore and build connections between music and the human experience. Never at rest, Midori brings the same dynamic innovation and expressive insight that has made her a prominent concert violinist to her other roles as a noted global cultural ambassador and a dedicated music educator.

A leading concert violinist for over 30 years, Midori regularly transfixes audiences around the world, bringing together graceful precision and intimate expression that allows the listening public to not just hear mu
