Noted Endeavors with Eric Jacobsen: From Friendraising to Fundraising
Eugenia Zukerman and Emily Ondracek-Peterson of Noted Endeavors interview Eric Jacobsen.
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 Colin and Eric, 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.
