The program also includes Elgar\u2019s <em>Enigma Variations<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe audience was astonished at the sound he got from [his 1714 Stradivarius],\u201d said UMW Philharmonic Conductor Kevin Bartram, after Perlman played to a sold-out crowd of 1,300 in the packed Dodd Auditorium five years ago. \u201cEven professional violinists are stunned by his capacity to achieve such a sound. The experience of performing such a demanding work with a living legend will remain with us the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From playing for world leaders and royalty to appearing on <em>Sesame Street<\/em>, Perlman enjoys a superstar status rarely afforded a classical musician. He has received four Emmy Awards throughout his illustrious career, and his chart-topping recordings have earned him 15 Grammy Awards. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan honored Perlman with a Medal of Liberty, and in 2000, President Bill Clinton awarded Perlman the National Medal of Arts.<\/p>\n<p>The season continues on Friday, Dec. 6 with <em>Holiday Pops: Winter Wonderland<\/em>, featuring both traditional holiday favorites and beautiful new arrangements. In the festively decked hall, the UMW Philharmonic will delight audiences with seasonal sounds, singalongs and perhaps even an appearance by Santa Claus himself.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_88508\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-88508\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"88508\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/2018\/06\/14\/umw-philharmonic-announces-2018-19-concert-season\/nadja-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2018\/06\/nadja-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"550,826\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"nadja 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg was named UMW&amp;#8217;s first artist-in-residence.
