Midori

The Grand Rapids Symphony performs this weekend, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 in DeVos Hall, and violinist Midori will be the guest - for the first time with the orchestra - performing the Shostakovich Violin Concerto. Also on the concert are the Overture No. 1 by Louise Ferrenc, and the complete Mother Goose ballet music of Maurice Ravel. Then Midori joins Marcelo Lehninger and the orchestra for the Shostakovich Concerto. Steve Albert had a chance to talk with this amazing musician during her time in Grand Rapids. You can hear that conversation here.
