The Knights

Thursday, February 5, 2026 7:30 PM Zankel Hall Center Stage
The Knights by Shervin Lainez
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.

Part of: The Knights, Arvo Pärt, and Zankel Hall Center Stage
