The Knights join forces with mandolinist, composer, and singer Chris Thile in an exploration of American music, old and new (and a little Bach). Thile’s new work, a Carnegie Hall co-commission, will feature his brilliant songwriting and storytelling, instrumental virtuosity, and ever-present sense of humor. Thile also joins The Knights to sing a version of Caroline Shaw's exquisite and poetic meditation on the nature of a rose. Dvorak's famed “American” Quartet is re-imagined through the lens of violinist and composer Curtis Stewart as a chamber orchestra, folk-inspired jam session, and Colin Jacobsen's Sheriff's Freud brings together the world of Dvorak - in some ways a founding figure in the development of American music - with bluegrass idioms. And finally, some Bach. Why? Because Bach is always a good idea...
