The Knights and Gil Shaham, violin

The Knights orchestra joins acclaimed violinist Gil Shaham for a program featuring music of Rebel, Prokofiev, and Beethoven's Symphony no. 3, "Eroica." Shaham, one of the foremost violinists of our time, received the coveted Avery Fisher Prize in 2008 and in 2012 was named Instrumentalist of the Year by "Musical America," which cited the "special kind of humanism" with which his performances are imbued. The Knights are an orchestral collective dedicated to transforming the concert experience. Engaging listeners and defying boundaries with programs that showcase the players' roots in the classical tradition and passion for musical discovery, The Knights have, as "The New Yorker" observes, "become one of Brooklyn's sterling cultural products, [and] are known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory."
