Description
Music Director Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and the New Century Chamber Orchestra celebrate the ensemble's 20th Anniversary Season with a subscription series that includes the return of former Music Directors Stuart Canin and Krista Bennion Feeney, mandolinists Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich as Featured Composer.
The New Century Chamber Orchestra, one of only a handful of conductor-less ensembles in the world, was founded in 1992. Musical decisions are made collaboratively by the 19-member string ensemble, made up of local musicians and those who travel from across the U.S. and Europe to perform together. World-renowned violin soloist, chamber musician and recording artist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg joined the ensemble as Music Director and Concertmaster in January 2008, bringing "a new sense of vitality and determination, as well as an audacious swagger that is an unmistakable fingerprint of its leader," according to Gramophone Magazine.
