yMusic has built a reputation as virtuoso musicians who elevate the performances and recordings of their legendary collaborators, such as Paul Simon and Bill T. Jones. Now, yMusic strikes out on their own, taking the stage of The Nimoy to perform a new body of spirited original compositions, which oscillate between the classical and avant-garde.

UCLA Nimoy Theater

The Knights is a self-described “fellowship of adventurous musicians” known for transforming the orchestral concert experience. In this concert, led by Artistic Director and violinist Colin Jacobsen, they perform a time-tested masterpiece—Dvořák’s ever-popular Serenade for Strings—alongside the New York City premiere of Reena Esmail’s The History of Red, a stirring work for chamber orchestra and soprano, inspired in part by Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915. The program also highlights the extraordinary compositional talents of The Knights’ own members, with a world premiere by violinist and vocalist Christina Courtin and a piece written collaboratively by Ms. Courtin with flutist and vocalist Alex Sopp.
