One of the most admired violinists in the world today, Grammy-winner Midori transfixes audiences wherever she performs. Her graceful precision and intimate expression allow the listening public to not only hear the music, but be moved by it. Playing with “characteristic verve, fire and tonal gleam” (Chicago Classical Review), she is joined by pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet, a major force in classical music, from fashion and films to recordings and collaborations. This charismatic duo will present an all-Beethoven recital program in honor of the composer’s 250th anniversary.
