“The Knights always sound alive, and tonight was no exception. Their togetherness and verve complemented Wu Man’s enthusiasm as she seemed to invite them into her solo role, making it sound like a big chamber ensemble playing off one another rather than an orchestra providing accompaniment to a star virtuoso.”
— Ben Gambuzza, writing for EarRelevant (2025)
“MetLive Arts, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s performing arts series, will kick off its 2025-2026 season tomorrow night with a program featuring pipa virtuoso Wu Man…Colin Jacobsen, concertmaster and co-artistic director of the Knights, called the Harrison work ‘a piece of modern music that just attains this joyful, visceral, evocative sense. (And) you just love working with Wu Man.’“
— Jane Levere, writing for Forbes (2025)
