New Century Performs Saturday


Acclaimed violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg will lead the New Century Chamber Orchestra in concert at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 19, in Guerry Auditorium. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $10 for students and are available by calling 598-1770. 

Passion, excitement and innovation are the hallmarks of Salerno-Sonnenberg’s music. With the New Century Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1992 in the San Francisco Bay Area, she looks for fresh, exciting ways to present classical music by combining performances of extraordinary quality with innovative programming. 

New Century is comprised of local musicians and those who travel from across the U.S. and Europe to perform together. Musical decisions are made collaboratively by the 19-member string ensemble, resulting in an enhanced level of commitment on the part of the musicians to concerts of remarkable precision, passion and power.
