ArtsKSU Presents: Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Dazzling audiences and critics alike since her celebrated debut at age 11, superstar violinist Midori performs Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2. In a concerto peppered by the sounds of a Hungarian folksong, Midori showcases her graceful precision and intimate expression as one of the world’s most acclaimed violinists. Making his Atlanta Symphony debut, Australian rising-star Nicholas Carter leads the orchestra in Haydn’s Symphony No. 44 (“Trauersinfonie”) before concluding the program with Prokofiev’s wartime piece written in 1944 as Russian troops turned the tables on the German army: the massive and exhilarating Symphony No. 5. // “…her spitfire energy excitingly takes command… [Midori] is not only a formidable technician, but also a musician who knows what she wants to say with every note.” – The Financial Times
