The Knights (NYC)

Experience a must-hear collaboration between three of today’s most beloved innovators: orchestral collective The Knights, “one of Brooklyn’s sterling cultural products… known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory” (The New Yorker); the inimitable Brooklyn Rider, an ensemble that represents “the vitality of the string quartet, limited to four instruments yet seemingly unlimited in its expression” (The New York Times); and visionary composer Nico Muhly, whose new work for string quartet and orchestra receives its New York premiere. This wide-ranging program also features Beethoven’s dramatic Fifth Symphony and selected works by Purcell.
