Violinist Nadja Solerno Sonenberg by Aida

Full Name: Nadja Rose Catherine Salerno Sonnenberg
Born: January 10th, 1961 (Rome, Italy)

She is known for being overly emotional, except when people criticize her for being overemotional; then she doesn’t really care.

Biography: Emigrating with her family from Italy to the United States at the age of eight, Nadja Salerno Sonnenberg had weathered a difficult childhood. She was ridiculed by her classmates because of her devotion to classical music and had been largely lonely among children her own age.
After moving to the United States, she attended the Julliard School of Music and went on to become the youngest winner ever of the Walter W. Naumburg International Violin Competition. She also received the prestigious Avery Fischer Prize and Career Grant. Currently, she is the director of the New Century Chamber Orchestra.
