In 1981 they went to the United States where she could study at the Aspen Music School with the great teacher Dorothy DeLay, moving then to New York to continue studies with DeLay at the Juilliard School of Music. There Zubin Mehta, conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, heard her and was impressed with not only her potential but with the level of development she had already attained. At the age of ten he engaged her as a soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. He took her with the orchestra on an extensive tour of Asia which included Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan. From that time on she has had a stellar career. She soon played with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, and other leading orchestras of Europe and the United States.

By JOHN FLEMING, Times Performing Arts Critic Published April 15, 2005 [AP photo (2001)] [Special to the Times] After Midori's recital Saturday at Ruth Eckerd Hall, it would not be unusual for the violinist to return to the stage after everybody is gone and put in several hours of practice all by herself. "When you're on the road, and you're spending five hours traveling to get to a place, and then you have a rehearsal and you have a concert, you have to specify to the management that they help me find a place where I can do my three hours, either after the concert or in the morning before I leave for the next town," Midori says from New York. When she practices, one of the things Midori concentrates on is the timbre she draws from her violin. She plays on open strings, a G, D, A or E, "the most legato, the most beautiful sound that carries," she says. "It's like meditation partly."

NEW JERSEY JEWISH NEWS Midori, Manson spark NJSO season opener The concert included compositions by Johannes Brahms, Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, and Igor Stravinsky. The orchestra performed Brahms Hungarian Dances Nos. 1, 3, and 5 with energetic and warm string sounds deepened by the vintage instruments being played. The opening Allegro Moderato had ample momentum, passion, and haunting tenderness, which were followed by a brighter mood. Without a break, the Allegro movement was a dazzling exhibition of fiery spirit whose energetic vitality reflected lightning exchanges between the violinist and orchestra. The Finale, a breathtaking folk dance, led to the spirited end. The Finale, with granite blocks of sound, affirmed the life-force of this piece. We can be thankful for guest conductor Anne Manson. Former director of the Kansas City Symphony, she has recently appeared with such ensembles as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Houston Symphony, and the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. She also served as music director of the London-based Mecklenburh Opera and made history when she became the first woman to conduct the Salzburg Festival.

first published in The Cincinnati Post Feb. 19, 2004) Before there was Sarah Chang, Hilary Hahn or Helen Huang, there was Midori. In 1982, at the age of 11, the doll-like prodigy wowed a New York Philharmonic audience with Paganini's Violin Concerto No. 1. When she was 14, Leonard Bernstein knelt to kiss her hand after she performed his Serenade with the Boston Symphony at Tanglewood (she had broken two strings in the process). Her name is among the best known in classical music. Pretty strong stuff, but her example paved the way for a whole crop of young female artists. Midori performs Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the Cincinnati Symphony, led by music director Paavo Järvi, at 7:30 tonight, 8 p.m. Friday and 8 p.m. Saturday at Music Hall. (Interestingly, Huang performed with the CSO last weekend, Hahn in January.) Also on the program are Stravinsky's dynamic "The Rite of Spring" (to be recorded by Telarc) and Czech composer Bohuslav Martinu's colorful "Frescoes of Piero della Francesca." Midori, now 32, continues to set an example.

Midori Most eleven year old girls are in fifth grade. They’re usually concerned with their friends and a newfound interest in boys. Most eleven year old girls are not thinking about a career. Midori Goto, however, was not your average eleven year old girl. At the tender age of eleven, she debuted as the guest violin soloist during a New York Philharmonic concert. Clearly, Midori was what is often referred to as a “child prodigy.” The problem is that many people still perceive her as such. Yet, Midori has matured both physically and musically. Unlike many child stars that fade away before they reach puberty, Midori successfully developed in the public eye and continues to help advance the field of music. Midori was born on October 25, 1971, in Osaka, Japan. Like most child prodigies, she was introduced to her future field of expertise at a very young age. For Midori, this field was the violin. Her mother, Setsu Goto, was a professional violinist, but Setsu never pressured her daughter to play. Midori, in fact, enjoyed listening to her mother play the violin and had a desire to play, herself. Therefore, when Midori was only four years old, her grandmother gave her a miniature violin on which she could practice. Midori practiced every day. Her mother gave her lessons and would listen to Midori play while she cooked in the kitchen or did other household chores. In this way, Midori memorized difficult pieces by famous composers such as Bach and Paganini.

HOME The Japan Times Printer Friendly Articles MIDORI GOTO Violin maestro with many strings toher bow Violinist Midori Goto was only 14 when, in 1986, she played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the baton of the late maestro Leonard Bernstein at the annual Summer Festival at Tanglewood in rural Massachusetts. That was remarkable enough, but what made Goto world-famous was not simply that she performed at such a young age in such elevated company but that she played marvelously despite breaking the E string of her instrument not once, but twice. Midori Goto The first time it happened, she coolly and quickly passed her violin to the concertmaster, who gave her his instrument with which to carry on playing. Then, when the same thing happened again, she had to perform with yet another unfamiliar instrument, when the associate concertmaster quickly handed her his to play. Despite the double disaster, Goto finished her solo performance with barely a missed beat . . . and was rewarded with a huge ovation from the knowledgeable audience at the prestigious event. Even before that now legendary episode, though, Goto had already been recognized as a brilliant violin virtuoso.
