The Knights return to Troy Savings Bank Music Hall with a program of chamber music for strings led by Co-Artistic Director Colin Jacobsen. The evening is bookended by Jacobsen’s own composition Beloved, do not let me be discouraged and the forward-looking Octet by Felix Mendelssohn. Between these works, experience renowned composer 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.
