Anna Clyne

Conducted by Eric Jacobsen, The Knights are “one of Brooklyn’s sterling cultural products … known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory” (The New Yorker). From classical staples to genre-expanding works by today’s top composers, they offer an irresistible feeling of comradery and artistic possibility. Hear Mozart’s Symphony No. 31; an original orchestration of Jessie Montgomery’s Rhapsody No. 2; a New York premiere by the “ingenious” Anna Clyne (BBC Music Review), featuring The Knights’ own Karen Ouzounian; and selected works by singer-songwriter and composer Gabriel Kahane, including the New York premiere of a piano concerto written for his father, renowned pianist Jeffrey Kahane. Program: Jessie Montgomery - Rhapsody No. 2 (orch. for violin and chamber orchestra by Michi Wiancko; World Premiere, co-commissioned by Carnegie Hall) Gabriel Kahane - Heirloom (NY Premiere) Gabriel Kahane - "Where Are the Arms" (arr. for orchestra, vocals, and guitar) Anna Clyne - Shorthand for Cello and Orchestra (NY Premiere) Mozart - Symphony No. 31, "Paris"
