An intoxicating sense that anything is possible comes with each new performance by The Knights. Tonight, in the intimate Zankel Hall Center Stage, Colin Jacobsen leads the ensemble in a program bookended by one of Haydn’s light-footed early symphonies and the sweeping, forward-looking Octet by Felix Mendelssohn. Several exciting surprises await between these beloved repertoire pillars. Hear The Knights’ unique take on Arvo Pärt’s In spe, a spacious experiment in tintinnabuli that grants its performers extraordinary freedom. Plus, experience the New York premiere of Osvaldo Golijov’s Ever Yours, a work of “vitality, love, and attention,” whose title references Vincent van Gogh’s letters to his brother and the “intensity of being” expressed within.
