2004

In 2004, Salerno-Sonnenberg said she answered "hundreds of fan letters a year" on her website.

In later years, some critics who had originally been irritated by Salerno-Sonnenberg's on-stage mannerisms said they "no longer bother" them.

She has performed with orchestras around the world and played at the White House.

2006

In 2006, The Washington Post characterized Salerno-Sonnenberg as a "fiercely original, deeply emotive violinist".

Over the 25 years she had already been concertizing, "her playing, always mercurial and exciting but occasionally a little scattershot, has become positively reliable, both musically and technically, without losing any of the wild electricity that always set her apart."

The only criticism the reviewer made of her interpretation was of "her characteristic tendency to break up the melodic line into fragments".

Some reviewers criticized the clothes she wore during performances, her facial "grimaces", and her "almost abandoned disregard".

Critic Martin Bernheimer said that Salerno-Sonnenberg was "battling the composer rather than interpreting the composer."

Another critic disagreed: "I don't care what she wears or how she moves as long as she keeps playing with such passionate intelligence."

Fans have found her performances "exhilarating".

2008

In 2008, Salerno-Sonnenberg was selected as the Music Director of the New Century Chamber Orchestra under a three-year contract.

After completing her first season with the orchestra, Salerno-Sonnenberg said: "I also have a solo career that I have to maintain—and I do. And I have a record label. I have three full-time jobs, and I don't know how long I can keep up this pace."
