    RESOLUTION NUMBER 1244 A RESOLUTION WELCOMING THE VIOLINISTAND EDUCATOR MIDORI TO BOULDER FINDINGS 1. Boulder has a long and deep commitment to arts and culture. It was originally shaped by the rich, impactfuland original culture ofthe Ute, Arapaho, Jicarilla Apache, Comanche, and Navajo nations that originally called this place home. One of the first modem cultural resources was the Colorado Chautauqua, founded before the incorporation of the city. The University of Colorado and residents of early Boulder continued this tradition, particularly with accomplishments among visual artists, authors, poets, filmmakers, and others. Today, Boulder wins awards forthe artists who live here, the organizations that present the art, and the commitment of the entire community to the advancement of culture. 2. The Boulder Philharmonic (Boulder Phil) and Greater Boulder Youth Orchestra (GBYO) were chosen froma national pool of applicants to bring the outstanding violinist and educator Midori to Boulder for a five-dayimmersive residency during the 2019-2019 season. 3. Midori is a celebrated and respected concert violinist of extraordinary talent and internationalfame. She has performed with the world's most important orchestras and received numerous awards including the Kennedy Center Gold Medal in the Arts in 2010. Expanding the role of her musical abilities, Midori is committed to education and cultural diplomacy, being named a United Nations Messenger of Peace. 4. Throughout her career, Midori has been devoted to working with youth and communities in a way that few performing artists of her caliber can claim. Through the Midori Orchestra Residency Program, she visits one or two mid-sized communities each year to share her impressive artistry and inclusive vision of the vital role that music and the arts can play - not only in the concert hall, but across the entire community and in the lifeof every citizen.
