Great Violin Concertos: Midori Plays Mendelssohn

Debuting with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic at the age of 11, triumphing at Tanglewood under Leonard Bernstein after breaking two E strings in a legendary performance at the age of 14, Japanese-American violinist Midori needs no introduction. One of the greatest prodigies the world has ever seen, grown into a truly visionary artist with a marvellous career spanning more than four decades so far, Midori has worked with all top orchestras around the world, and is making a highly anticipated return to Hong Kong to work with Hong Kong Sinfonietta again, this time performing Mendelssohn’s exquisite Violin Concerto in E minor under the baton of Daniel Raiskin, Designated Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra. Tchaikovsky’s monumental Symphony No 6 and a young Shostakovich’s Scherzo complete what promises to be a breathtaking programme of exquisite masterpieces and extraordinary fireworks.
