The Knights make their annual return to The Clark Art Institute with a free outdoor program informed by an exhibition on view, A Room of Her Own: Women Artist-Activists in Britain, 1875-1945. Led by an open-minded spirit of camaraderie and collaboration, The Knights seek to engage with contemporary culture through vibrant performances that honor the classical tradition and their passion for musical discovery.

Bring a picnic and your own seating. For accessibility questions, call (413) 458-0524. Rain moves the performance to August 31 at 4 pm. This performance is presented through the generous support of the Sea Island Foundation.
