A Vivaldi sinfonia, a chamber symphony by Thomas Adès, premieres of works co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall, and daring new takes on music from Middle East, Balkan, and klezmer sources—it’s just the kind of program audiences have grown to expect and love from The Knights, an ensemble acclaimed for its “voracious musical appetite” (Chicago Classical Review). This “adventurous orchestral collective” (The Baltimore Sun) is joined by Syrian clarinetist Kinan Azmeh for an exotic musical journey.

A night of light entertainment with the Knights at Carnegie Hall

Kurt Gottschalk, 3rd April

With an old swing tune, a retrofitted Ligeti piece, a Syrian wedding and a Vivaldi sinfonia, the Knights mixed old and new without quite blending the two.
