Caramoor Summer Festival: The Knights with Pekka Kuusisto
The Knights are dedicated to transforming the orchestral experience and eliminating barriers between audience and music. The New York Times has described them as “an adventurous young orchestra that has established a strong reputation for polished performances and imaginative programming.” The ensemble performs the New York premiere of Nico Muhly’s Shrink with Finnish violinist Pekka Kuusisto, described as “one-of-a-kind” by Toronto’s The Globe and Mail and renowned for his fresh approach to repertoire.
