Midori and Vadim Repin have joined forces in a new initiative, the Midori/Repin Commissioning Project.

Through the leading commissioning organization Meet the Composer, individual donors have commissioned four solo works, each four minutes in length, to be used by the violinists as encores and in personal appearances in a varity of contexts including fundraising events, media promotion and community work.

Midori and Repin have chosen four composers whose work they admire, and of the first group of compositions to be commissioned three have been completed: Passegiatta by Lee Hyla, Gypsy Melody by Rodion Schedrin, and Capriccio by Krzysztoff Penderecki. A fourth work by Derek Bermel is forthcoming. To date the commissioners include Susan V. Carson, Kathleen Henschel, Barrett Wissman and Crystal Arts.
