“A musical roller coaster of a journey bursting with drama, detail and invention…With pianist [Jeffrey] Kahane in top form, and conductor Eric Jacobsen and The Knights’ orchestral collective alive to the concerto’s every twist and turn, here is a dazzling concerto du jour that glows with an echilarating sense of its own clear purpose and inevitability.”
— Gramophone Magazine (November 2025)
“Dreamed up in a living room and now touring around the world, The Knights have evolved from an informal meeting of friends to a premier US-based chamber orchestra. Known for its diverse and adventurous programming that features a wide range of collaborators, The Knights have surprised and delighted audiences on the world’s iconic stages and in neighborhood parks, plazas, and bars. With a unique structure that empowers members to steer the group artistically, the ensemble delivers distinctive performances that captivate fans of classical music and beyond.”
