The Knights Before Christmas

Bright Shiny Things releases “The Knights Before Christmas,” a world-premiere recording of holiday music from numerous genres performed by cutting-edge Brooklyn orchestral collective The Knights. Guest performers include Wu Man, Anthony Roth Costanzo, Magos Herrera, Krystle Warren, I’m With Her, and Gaby Moreno. All but one of the arrangements are by members of the orchestra.

“As families and friends gather around the fireplace this holiday season, (made audible in the warm nostalgic glow on the final track of the album, Vince Guaraldi’s iconic Christmas Time is Here), we hope that this truly homegrown Knights album makes space for both the introspection and celebration that this time of year invites. Acknowledging the difficulties that everyone has gone through over the last couple of years, we collectively felt that now was the moment to invest The Knights’ time and energy in something that could truly bring people hope, comfort, and light.”
