Salerno-Sonnenberg leads the ensemble into new and joyful experiences as they breathe life into the standard chamber music repertoire by infusing it with work from jazz, rock, and pop music genres. Her unique charisma and liveliness are contagious to listeners and fellow musicians as she joins the ensemble to create a high-energy sound and a joyful signature presentation.

The program features Rossini's Sonata No. 1 in G Major; Barber's Adagio for Strings; Bolcolm's Romanza for solo Violin and String Orchestra; and Mendelssohn's Octet for Strings in E-Flat Major, Op. 20.
