The Knights
We honor the memory of September 11th tonight with a broadcast of the Musicians for Harmony’s Fifth Anniversary Concert, live from Merkin Hall. Founded to promote peace and cultural exchange through music, Musicians for Harmony's program includes pianist Leon Fleisher and members of the Guarneri and Orion String Quartets. Also, the World Premiere of Mark O'Connor's "Harmony" for violin and string orchestra.
We'll preview the concert beforehand with Leon Fleisher's elegant recording of J.S. Bach's "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring"; also, Yo-Yo Ma and Edgar Meyer join Mark O'Connor for his "Caprice for Three." Richard Stolzman and the Tokyo String Quartet dominate the later hour with Johannes Brahms' Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B Minor, and we'll offer a birthday tribute to Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, born 71 years ago today.
