Recent ORPs:In January 2010, Midori spent a week with the Louisiana Philharmonic and Greater New Orleans Youth Orchestra in a special residency project initiated as a means of reinvigorating the classical music landscape in post-hurricane New Orleans.

Midori's ORP with the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony and Area Youth Symphonies took place in February 2010. Moni Simeonov, a student of Midori's at USC, provided assistance on this trip. Read Moni's blog, plus posts by Midori, about the experience here: ORP Observations.


Orchestra Residencies in 2010/11 will be with the Chattanooga Symphony & Youth Orchestras in Tennessee and the Quad City Symphony and Youth Symphony Orchestras in Davenport, Iowa.
