Summary
No one performs the Sibelius Violin Concerto, one of the hardest works in the violin repertoire, more compellingly than the brilliant Midori. The LPO welcomes this extraordinary artist back to New Orleans and invites you to enjoy an evening of dazzling virtuosity that also contains Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture and Dvorak's Symphony No. 9.



Midori's concerts with the Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestra and the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra were initiated as a means of reinvigorating the classical music landscape in post-hurricane New Orleans. This collaborative project is modeled on Midori's Orchestra Residencies Program, which aims to strengthen the ties of the American youth orchestra to its professional orchestra, as well as to bolster relationships with performers, staff, and the community-at-large.
