As part of Holland Symphony Orchestra’s 2025 Gift of Music summer offerings, we are excited to announce a special pair of concerts featuring the violin superstar Midori.  She will make her Holland debut with music director and conductor Johannes Müller Stosch and the HSO in two performances of Mendelssohn’s towering Violin Concerto and Arvo Pärt’s raucous double violin concerto entitled Tabula Rasa with ZenViolin creator and prodigy Moni Simeonov.  The program will include Mendelssohn’s whimsical Hebrides Overture “Fingal’s Cave” and J. S. Bach’s regal Orchestral Suite No. 1.  The concerts will take place on Friday, August 8, 2025, at 7:30 pm and Saturday, August 9, 2025, at 2 pm at the Jack H. Miller Center for the Musical Arts, Hope College.

Midori is a visionary artist, activist, and educator who explores and builds connections between music and the human experience.  In the four decades since her debut with the New York Philharmonic at age 11, the “simply magical” (Houston Chronicle) violinist has performed with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras and has collaborated with world-renowned musicians including Leonard Bernstein, Yo-Yo Ma, and many others.
