Description
About This Performance
An artist who has defined and redefined classical music in our time, Midori presents a program inspired by Federico Garcia Lorca and his poem, Casida of the Lament. From Poulenc’s Sonata, dedicated to Lorca, and Ravel’s setting of the Hebrew prayer for the dead to transcriptions capturing the uplift of spirituals, this program exploits the violin’s expressive capacities. “Midori’s interpretation, in a word, was simply magical…No encore was needed; the audience was already speechless” (Houston Chronicle). She is accompanied by frequent collaborator and award-winning pianist Özgür Aydin.
