Led by an open-minded spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, they seek to engage with contemporary culture through vibrant performances that honor the classical tradition and their passion for musical discovery. The collective was founded and is directed by violinist Colin Jacobsen and conductor and cellist Eric Jacobsen, who, together, also founded the Brooklyn Rider string quartet. The Knights&rsquo; roster boasts musicians of remarkably diverse talents, including composers, arrangers, singer-songwriters, and improvisers, who bring a range of cultural influences to the group, from jazz and klezmer to pop and indie rock music. Since their founding in 2007, The Knights have toured and recorded with prominent soloists including Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, B&eacute;la Fleck, Itzhak Perlman, and Gil Shaham, and have performed at Carnegie Hall, Tanglewood, and the Vienna Musikverein. The orchestra&rsquo;s program highlights Armenian folk songs composed by Komitas that celebrate the collector Aso O. Tavitian&rsquo;s heritage. The exuberance continues with compositions by Anton&iacute;n Dvor&aacute;k, Chen Yi, and Colin Jacobsen.&nbsp; The full program includes: Komitas&nbsp;Armenian Folk SongsB&eacute;la Bart&oacute;k&nbsp;Romanian Folk Dances, Sz.68Pyotr Tchaikovsky&nbsp;II.
