Some people who will be tuning in to the Saturday telecast of the 43rd Kennedy Center Honors might not recognize Midori, the classical music violinist who is among the five performing artists being feted for their career achievements.
Compared with her fellow honorees, Midori lacks the television ubiquity of Dick Van Dyke, the radio recognition of Garth Brooks and Joan Baez and the multi-format achievements of Debbie Allen. However, an increasing number of music listeners are paying attention to both Midori and her fellow performers in the classical music space.
