The  ever-busy New York-based chamber orchestra The Knights has  worked with  some of the top composers and musicians in the world  including Osvaldo  Golijov on a stunning new release of his large scale  symphonic work, Azul.

The piece draws on several world music traditions as do the other   pieces on the album. We talked to founding violinist and composer Colin   Jacobsen about music, world travel and more.
