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 reimaginings of the “Kreutzer” Sonatas of Beethoven and Leos Janáček with contemporary responses by Colin Jacobsen and Anna Clyne, and arrangements drawn from Janáček’s field recordings of folk songs.

Colin Jacobsen: Kreutzings
Ludwig van Beethoven arr. Colin Jacobsen: Kreutzer Concerto, featuring Ray Chen, violin.
Anna Clyne: Shorthand, with cellist Karen Ouzounian
Leoš Janáček arr. Michael P. Atkinson: Kreutzer Sonata after String Quartet No. 1
Trad. arr. Colin Jacobsen: Folk songs drawn from Janáček’s archival field recordings
