“Tying together the folk and the classical once again brought the evening full circle and suggested an even playing field in the spectrum of American musical sound – a place where individuals are not overpowered and space exists for a diversity of musical forms.”

“This music is perfectly tailored to the taste of this unconventional chamber orchestra, which achieves global success with programming outside the usual mainstream….Right from this first work of the evening, it becomes clear why the ensemble calls itself "The Knights.” The name is meant to reflect their philosophy of chivalry, community, and fearless music-making. And that is exactly how they perform—at a remarkably high level, guided by the inspiring conducting of their founder, Eric Jacobsen.”
