The Knights feat. Brooklyn RIder seek to expand the idea of what an orchestra can be via a unique atmosphere of camaraderie. A fellowship of young musicians of diverse and accomplished backgrounds unite for the shared joy of musical exploration. Directed by Henry Joost (Catfish, Paranormal Activity 3) and beautifully shot in HD, the film captures their interpretation of Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony. They have collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Dawn Upshaw, Gil Shaham, Osvaldo Golijov and Jan Vogler and recorded two albums for Sony Classical.

Press Quotes

A modern city boy's view of the countryside... an oxygen-fueled romp painted in vivid hues.

     —New York Times

In terms of their essence, they form a band, working unconventionally, spontaneously and diversely. A band that sees Beethoven as 'cool,' with a sound full of such color, as though it was a New England thanksgiving.

     —Suddeutche Zetiung

The young orchestra 'The Knights' all are committed to a youthful style, which knows no fixed genre boundaries and certainly doesn't tolerate taboos... Where else does one experience a Beethoven launched with quite such fervour and just such precision.
