Midori violin ; Özgür Aydin piano

Midori’s penetrating artistry, rich in insight and profound musical maturity, and special gifts as teacher and communicator have touched audiences far beyond the world’s leading concert halls, thanks to the reach of her acclaimed Midori and Friends education programme. She is also a firm supporter of music by living composers, reflected in the presence in her latest Wigmore Hall programme of a new work by Thierry Escaich, one of the four titular organists of Notre-Dame de Paris. A diverse trio of sonatas completes the Japanese American violinist’s alluring menu of works.
