Midori, violin
Robert McDonald, piano
Since her debut at the age of 11 with the New York Philharmonic over 25 years ago, the violinist Midori has established a record of achievement which sets her apart as a master musician, an innovator, and a champion of the developmental potential of children. Named a Messenger of Peace by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in 2007, she has created a new model for young artists who seek to balance the joys and demands of a performing career at the highest level with a hands-on investment in the power of music to change lives.
Midori's performing schedule is balanced between recitals, chamber music performances and appearances with the world's most prestigious orchestras. Midori’s 2009-2010 season will include new music recitals and workshops tours of the U.S., Europe and Asia and increasing her already extensive commitment to music education in her capacity as Chair of the Strings Department at USC's Thornton School of Music. Among the conductors with whom Midori will collaborate in the 2009-2010 season are Carlos Kalmar, Miguel Harth-Bedoya, Sir Colin Davis, Carl St.Clair, Leonard Slatkin and Mariss Jansons.
In 1992 Midori founded Midori & Friends, a non-profit organization in New York which brings music education programs to thousands of underprivileged children each year. Two other organizations, Music Sharing, based in Japan, and Partners in Performance, based in the U.S., also bring music closer to the lives of people who may not otherwise have involvement with the arts. Her commitment to community collaboration and outreach extends beyond these organizations to her work with young violinists in master classes all over the world, and to her Orchestra Residencies Program in the U.S. In 2009-2010 Midori will conduct community engagement programs in New York, Louisiana, Minnesota, Virginia, Japan and Mongolia.
Midori’s two most recent recordings are an album of sonatas by J.S. Bach (Unaccompanied No.2) and Béla Bartók (No.1, with pianist Robert McDonald) and The Essential Midori, a 2-CD compilation. Both are issued by Sony Masterworks, for whom she records exclusively.
Midori's violin is the 1734 Guarnerius del Gesu "ex-Huberman", which is on lifetime loan to her from the Hayashibara Foundation. Visit www.GoToMidori.com.

Doors: 7 PM
A brief history...
The Second City opened its doors on a snowy Chicago night in December of 1959. No one could have guessed that this small cabaret theatre would become the most influential and prolific comedy theatre in the world.
With its roots in the improvisational games of Viola Spolin, The Second City developed an entirely unique way of creating and performing comedy. Founded by Spolin’s son, Paul Sills, along with Howard Alk and Bernie Sahlins, The Second City was experimental and unconventional in its approach to both theatre and comedy. At a time when mother-in-law jokes were more the fashion, The Second City railed against the conformist culture with scenes that spoke to a younger
generation.
The Broadway success of Mike Nichols and Elaine May – members of The Second City’s predecessor, The Compass Players – put attention on the fledgling company. Soon, alumni of The Second City – such as Alan Arkin, Barbara Harris, Robert Klein, David Steinberg and Fred Willard – began to cement the theatre’s reputation for developing the finest comedic voices of each and every generation. With the debut of NBC’s Saturday Night Live, populated by Second City Alums John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd and Gilda Radner, the theatre became internationally known for its ever increasing roster of comedy superstars.
Soon, Second City’s sister-theatre in Canada developed its own sketch comedy series, SCTV, hailed as one of the greatest comedy series of all time and featuring an all-star cast that included Martin Short, Andrea Martin, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, Eugene Levy, Dave Thomas, Joe Flaherty and Rick Moranis.
By the 1980’s, The Second City had become much more than a small cabaret theatre on Chicago’s north side. In the middle of the decade, The Second City would begin a new era as Second City Toronto proprietors Andrew Alexander and Len Stuart would buy out Bernie Sahlins’ interest in The Second City Chicago and set in motion a new era of innovation for the company.
Today, The Second City continues to produce the premiere comic talent in the industry. From Mike Myers to Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert to Tina Fey – The Second City imprint is felt across every entertainment medium. Additionally, The Second City has grown well beyond a single stage to become a diversified entertainment company. Second City Training Centers in Chicago, Toronto and Los Angeles teach thousands of students every week four touring companies perform Second City revues all over North America and abroad Second City Communications has become an industry leader in bringing improv-based methodologies to the corporate sector and Second City
continues to create unique media in television, film and the digital realm.

Columbia Entertainment Company presents Into the Woods
1800 Nelwood Drive • 573.474.3699
(06.10.10, 06.11.10, 06.12.10, 06.13.10, 06.17.10, 06.18.10, 06.19.10, 06.20.10, 06.25.10, 06.25.10)
Columbia, MO 65202
A childless baker and his wife cannot have a child until they follow the bidding of the witch next door to get the cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, and the slipper as pure as gold. Weaving in and out of the stories of the fairy tale characters Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack, and Little Red Ridinghoood, and with their unknowing help, the baker and his wife are able to perform their mission and break the spell. Once the fairy tales have all played out and the characters have all gotten their "happily ever after," they learn that sometimes what you wish for is not what you want. More importantly, they learn about the need for community when they must unite to fight against the wife of the giant Jack killed when she decides to come back for revenge.
