Midori Goto, usually simply known as Midori, was taught violin by her mother who recognized her natural musical abilities at the age of two. She began taking piano lessons but quit within three months. Her grandmother gave her a 1/16 size violin for her third birthday and, therefore, her mother began teaching her the violin.
The phenom gave her first public performance at the age of six, playing one of Paganini's 24 Caprices in Osaka, Japan. In 1982, she and her mother moved to New York City where Midori began violin studies with Dorothy DeLay at Juilliard Pre-College. That same year, she made her concert debut with the New York Philharmonic under the leadership of Zubin Mehta, a conductor with whom she would record many concertos on the Sony Classical label.
Midori is the recipient of the 25th Suntory Music Award, designed to promote Western music in Japan, (1993) and was awarded the prestigious Avery Fisher Prize in 2001, given to musicians for outstanding achievement in classical music.
