New Century Chamber Orchestra is celebrating its 25th season this year, and at the end of the season, Nadja Salerno Sonnenberg will be stepping down as music director. In order to help keep creative continuity and allow the search committee enough time to find a replacement, the ensemble has announced that Daniel Hope will be ‘artistic partner’ for the next three seasons, playing with them for several of their concert series.
