Recently appointed Music Director of the Greater Bridgeport Symphony, cellist Eric Jacobsen is co-founder, along with his violinist brother, Colin, of Brooklyn Rider, the genre-defying string quartet. The Knights, an orchestra of friends from a broad spectrum of the New York music world, evolved from late night chamber music reading parties at the home of violinist Colin Jacobsen and cellist Eric Jacobsen, who now serve as co-artistic directors. Among the group’s diverse talents are composers, arrangers, singer-songwriters and improvisers who bring a range of cultural influences. Both ensembles are performing worldwide.
