“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.”

“The concert by The Knights and Martynas Levickis on April 14 at the Konzerthaus in Berlin is among the most exceptional musical experiences I have ever had: an evening that was completely “perfect” from beginning to end – coherent, breathing, and self-evident in its grandeur.

From the very first bars, the exceptional cohesion of the ensemble stood out, as well as the naturalness with which it moved through diverse musical worlds. The joy of playing was a constant undercurrent that gave the evening its energy.”
