Some make it in show business sooner than others. Classical violinist Midori, a native of Osaka, Japan, made her professional debut at age 11 with the New York Philharmonic in 1982. Seventeen years later, she has become a master musician and still is entertaining sold-out audiences around the world.

She will be performing at 8 p.m. tomorrow at Eisenhower Auditorium with pianist Robert McDonald. The program will include Mozart's "Sonata in A major," Corigliano's "Sonata," Brahms' "Sonata No. 1 in G major" and Stravinsky's "Pastorale."

"She's a violin virtuoso. She's just so amazing," said Robin Conklin, advertising and public relations manager for the Center for the Performing Arts. "For students who study classical music, they'll be amazed at her virtuosity. For other students, it's a wonderful opportunity to hear a world-class musician."

In addition to receiving numerous awards and working with such musical greats as Andre Previn, Leonard Bernstein and Pinchas Zuckerman, Midori is also the founder of Midori & Friends, an organization that brings orchestral and classical music to the New York City public school system.

Tickets are on sale at the Eisenhower box office, and cost $25 and $21, and $18 for students.
