The Knights (NYC)

Hear the spectacularly versatile orchestral collective The Knights in its final Zankel Hall performance of the 2026–2027 season. The concert begins with Geminiani’s brief Concerto Grosso in D Minor (after Corelli’s Violin Sonata Op. 5, No. 12, “Folia”), followed by a piece by genre-defying musical innovator Caroline Shaw, holder of Carnegie Hall’s 2026–2027 Debs Composer’s Chair and the youngest-ever Pulitzer Prize–winning composer. Shaw’s Carnegie Hall–commissioned The Mountain That Loved a Bird sets to music a heartwarming children’s tale with a universal message of love and friendship. The performance continues with Stravinsky’s Concerto in D—the composer’s first work as an American citizen—followed by J. S. Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 2.
