Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, Music Director. The San Francisco Bay Area's premiere chamber orchestra. sheer virtuosity.
About Me:
 
The New Century Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1992, looks for fresh, exciting ways to present classical music in the San Francisco Bay Area by combining performances of extraordinary quality with innovative programming. World-renowned violin soloist, chamber musician and recording artist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg was appointed Music Director and Concertmaster of the 19-member string ensemble in January 2008. New Century, comprised of local musicians as well as those who travel from across the U.S. and Europe to perform in the Bay Area together, performs without a conductor. Musical decisions are made collaboratively, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment on the part of the musicians to concerts of remarkable precision, passion and power.

As part of its dedication to the future of music and to the community, the NCCO provides violin lessons to underserved students in Marin City and San Rafaels Canal District. String quartets of NCCO members give intimate classroom performances in Bay Area elementary schools.

The orchestra has released four compact discs. Written With The Hearts Blood, a recording of Shostakovich works, was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1997. The orchestra has also recorded the music of 20th century Swiss composer Frank Martin, Argentine composers Alberto Williams and Alberto Ginastera, and NCCO violist Kurt Rohde.

Hi Nadja. It' s so good to "see" you again. I noted on your schedule, a few Long Island concerts. Any possibility of Tanglewood for the Summer of 2010? I've not received my schedule yet from TW and pray to see your name. I'll go to Long Island if I must because to see and hear your performance is worth ANY trip.
Love and Good Thoughts
