The internationally celebrated Japanese-American virtuoso violinist and music education campaigner, Midori, travels to London to conduct workshops for London Music Masters Bridge Project students in association with the Wigmore Hall.

In 1992, when she was just 21, Midori formed the philanthropic group ‘Midori and Friends’ to help bring music to children in New York City. The organisation now serves over 15,000 students annually in 40 public schools and community agency sites within New York City’s most disadvantaged communities.

The violinist’s inspirational outreach initiative harmonises with the aims and objectives of Wigmore Hall Learning, which has arranged a series of informal performances for Midori to give to local schools, community centres and related concerts at Wigmore Hall. Midori also marks 20 years of community projects with a morning of masterclasses and a frank discussion of her outreach work.
