An intoxicating sense that anything is possible comes with each new performance by The Knights. Colin Jacobsen and Eric Jacobsen lead the ensemble in a program bookended by one of Haydn’s light-footed early symphonies and the sweeping, forward-looking Octet by Felix Mendelssohn. Several exciting surprises await between these beloved repertoire pillars. Hear The Knights’ unique take on Arvo Pärt’s In spe, a spacious experiment in tintinnabuli that grants its performers extraordinary freedom. Plus, experience the New York premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s Ever Yours, a work of “vitality, love, and attention,” whose title references Vincent van Gogh’s letters to his brother and the “intensity of being” expressed within.

Program:

Franz Joseph Haydn Symphony No. 8 in G Major, "Le soir"

Osvaldo Golijov Ever Yours (NY Premiere)

Arvo Pärt In spe

Felix Mendelssohn String Octet, Op. 20
