Aaron Jay Kernis - Symphony of Meditations, mvt.2

The Knights are an orchestral collective, flexible in size and repertory, dedicated to transforming the concert experience. Engaging listeners and defying boundaries with programs that showcase the players’ roots in the classical tradition and passion for musical discovery, The Knights have, as the New Yorker observes, “become one of Brooklyn’s sterling cultural products...known far beyond the borough for their relaxed virtuosity and expansive repertory.”
