Brooklyn’s Knights Want Your Sound Sample
Music Experiment Hosted by WQXR
BROOKLYN — Windsor Terrace residents Colin Jacobsen, a violinist-composer, and Eric Jacobsen, a cellist-conductor, are brothers and founding members of The Knights orchestra. The New Yorker has called them a “dynamic young Brooklyn orchestra” with “some of New York’s best strings-about-town.”
On April 3 and 4, The Knights will return to WQXR for their second performance as the station’s “ensemble in residence,” the heart of which will be an interactive experience with listeners called the Found Sound Project Competition. This is a project in which listeners, or anyone interested — educated composers or amateurs — are invited to submit audio samples to IndabaMusic.com until March 16.
