Special Guests Midori She has recorded with the Berlin Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, the Israel Philharmonic, as well as a number of solo and ensemble recordings. Her most recent work on Sony Classical is a newly reconstructed version of Mozart's unfinished Concerto for Violin and Piano, and the Sinfonia Concertante for Violin and Viola, recorded with Christoph Eschenbach and violist Nabuko Imai. Midori currently lives in New York City. She plays a borrowed Italian violin, 268 years old and on a lifetime loan to her from the Hayashibara Foundation. It's the 1734 Guarnerius del Gesu "ex-Hubermann" and it seems to work just fine, and they have no plans to trade it in on a new one. For more information, see: http://www.midoriviolin.com
Plymouth Music Series THE PLYMOUTH MUSIC SERIES was founded in 1969 by Philip Brunelle as an arts outreach program of Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis. Aaron Copland came to conduct his choral works that first season, they have been known for innovation ever since, committed to exploring repertoire beyond the 'top ten classical hits.' They perform seldom-heard but important works of the past, and they keep a parallel commitment to today's composers. The Plymouth Music Series hosted the annual Chorus America Conference in Minneapolis, June 1999, and the Ensemble Singers represented the United States at the July 1999 World Choral Symposium in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The Sixth World Choral Symposium will be held in Minneapolis in 2002, with Philip Brunelle as chair. For more information, see: www.plymouthmusic.org |
