New Century Chamber Orchestra Announces Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg Named New Music Director
Internationally-acclaimed soloist and chamber musician Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg is best known for her exciting performances, passionate interpretations and charismatic personality. An innovative artist, her daring, dedication and enthusiasm for all facets of her career have resulted in her becoming one of today’s leading violinists, renowned for her work on the concert stage, in the recording studio and in her role as music director of the San Francisco-based New Century Chamber Orchestra, which she joined in January 2008. Her first three seasons have been hailed as a tremendous success by audiences and critics alike –
 “a marriage that works,” in her words, and for renewing enthusiasm for “one of the most burnished and exciting ensembles in the Bay Area,” according to Rich Scheinin of the San Jose Mercury News.
 
Nadja continues to divide her time between solo and chamber performances during the 2011-12 season. Upcoming orchestral engagements this spring include concerts with the symphony orchestras of Vancouver, Oregon, Baltimore, Seattle, and the Westchester Philharmonic, as well as recitals in California. Performances earlier in the season included concerts with the Minnesota and Philadelphia orchestras, the National Sym-phony Orchestra, the NHK Symphony Orchestra in Japan and the Buenos Aires Philharmonic, as well as
duo recitals with pianist Anne-Marie McDermott in Colorado, Indiana, and Illinois. Following the success
of their first US tour together last season, Nadja led the New Century Chamber Orchestra on an acclaimed East Coast Tour this past fall as part of the 19-member string orchestra’s 20th Anniversary season. This May, Nadja and New Century will present the world premiere of  Commedia dell'Arte, Pulitzer Prize winner Ellen Taaffe Zwilich’s violin concerto (New Century’s Featured Composer this season), which has been written specifically with her distinctive artistry in mind. This is Nadja’s fourth season at the helm of the New Century Chamber Orchestra. ... read full bio
