The Knights take The Kreutzer Project to Europe for an 11-stop tour from October 24th to November 6th, featuring dynamic violinist Ray Chen. The Kreutzer Project weaves together Knightsian re-imaginings of the “Kreutzer” Sonatas of Beethoven and Janacek with contemporary responses by Colin Jacobsen and Anna Clyne, and a new work drawn from Janacek’s field recordings of folk songs.
