Naumburg Bandshell
With Al Pacino in “Merchant of Venice” and the Flaming Lips at SummerStage some of the more simple pleasures of Central Park as a performance venue may be overlooked. This Tuesday evening the free Naumburg Orchestral Concert series continues with a performance by The Knights.
Led by conductor Eric Jacobsen, The Knights perform in a wide spectrum of concert venues, including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tonic, the Brooklyn Lyceum, Le Poisson Rouge, Celebrate Brooklyn, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Central Park, Mass MoCA, and the Whitney Museum. Also in demand on the international stage, they have appeared at the Dresden Musikfestspiele, the National Gallery in Dublin, and they will tour Germany in the fall of 2010 with cellist Jan Vogler. Their expanding presence on the music festival scene includes invitations to perform at the Ravinia Festival, the Stillwater Music Festival in Minnesota, and at the Caramoor Festival’s Fall Gala with Yo-Yo Ma
