The collective of adventurous musicians, dedicated to transforming the orchestral experience, celebrates the two great artists with music that inspired them.

The second half of the program will feature Manuel de Falla’s pocket-sized opera, Master Peter’s Puppet Show, based on an episode of Cervantes’ epic story Don Quixote, during which visual artist Kevork Mourad will help tell the tale through projected animation and live painting.

The Grammy-nominated Knights are an orchestral collective, flexible in size and repertory, 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 artistic discovery, The Knights have “become one of Brooklyn’s sterling cultural products… known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory” (New Yorker).
