In her universally respected career of more than 35 years, Midori’s has been recognized with numerous awards, from the Kennedy Center Honors and Brahms Society prize in 2020 to her designation as a United Nations Messenger of Peace for her devotion to community engagement and music education. The Los Angeles Times praised her for her accuracy of pitch, clarity of tone, and rhythmic care, saying “She is intense and forceful but never showy. I know of no violinist with a more sensitive nor respectful sense of vibrato, which allows her to let every note speak and none to over-speak.” The violin icon returns to Walt Disney Concert Hall for a solo recital.
