The Knights at Carnegie Hall at Carnegie Hall

Experience Felix Mendelssohn’s majestic “Scottish” Symphony like never before, as The Knights—led by conductor Eric Jacobsen—intersperse the piece with traditional Scottish tunes, bringing a fresh context to one of the great orchestral works. Grammy Award–winning singer-songwriter Aoife O’Donovan joins the ensemble to perform America, Come, an original suite inspired by the lives, letters, and speeches of Carrie Chapman Catt and President Woodrow Wilson in the summer of 1920, when the suffragists made their pivotal march to Tennessee. The program opens with the brisk, timeless overture to Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro.
