Brilliant violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg joins Marin Alsop and the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra to celebrate the start of an exhilarating 2010-2011 season. Inspired by Vivaldi’s popular work, this special opening gala concert features the tango-inspired, sultry rhythms of Piazzolla’s Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.
