Midori Samson
Midori Samson (she/her) is a bassoonist, educator, activist, and scholar. Thanks to a wide range of professional experiences across the USA and abroad, she has pursued a well-rounded career that unites these four identities. She is happiest participating in artistic projects that simultaneously engage all of her creative interests: bassoon performance, music education, activism/just action, and research and scholarship. She couldn’t—and wouldn’t want to—seek success in any one of these areas without the other three.
