Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg Introduces the 2008-09 Season
The New Century Chamber Orchestra, founded in 1992, looks for fresh, exciting new ways to present classical music in the San Francisco Bay Area by combining performances of extraordinary quality with innovative programming. The music director chooses the programs and guides the artistic vision, but the seventeen members of the orchestra perform 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 Rafael’s Canal District, as well as intimate classroom performances by string quartets to students in Bay Area elementary schools.
The orchestra has released four compact discs, one of which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 1997.

Great sounds. The classical world definitely needs a kick in the butt performance wise and it seems that you're doing just that with your orchestra and with the Rewind event. Keep it up!
