The Knights were thrilled to be among 2017 Grammy nominees, with "1930s Violin Concertos, Vol. 2," released with our brilliant friend Gil Shaham, as one of five albums nominated in the category of Best Classical Instrumental Solo.
The album features The Knights, conducted by our own Eric Jacobsen, performing Gil's remarkable interpretation of Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto. Also included on the album is Bartók's Second Violin Concerto with the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Stéphane Denève. To celebrate the album's release, The Knights embarked on a North American tour with Gil, an experience we will treasure forever.
