Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg was a student at the Aspen Music Festival and School almost 40 years ago, but the memories are still fresh. On Wednesday's Performance Today, Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg talks with us about everything from the Aspen Festival to A-Rod, as our week in Residence at the Aspen Music Festival continues.
