I think it's best to read Midori's own thoughts about her concert this evening.
Dear Friends,A few years ago, I had the idea of putting together a recital program consisting entirely of works composed during my lifetime. I was particularly interested in works that were composed since I became musically aware in my pre-teens. The five works on the program represent a rich variety of styles within contemporary music, ranging from a work by György Kurtág dated 1979 to a piece by Alexander Goehr written in 2000. I had an opportunity to tour with this program in Japan, where Bob McDonald and I played it in five different cities. My interest was not solely in the musical presentation; I wanted to explore ways to reach out to the audience, not only from the stage but in other ways as well. (cont'd on her site)
