Hark! Ye of questionable lineage and even more questionable taste in footwear — the Ottawa Pops Orchestra summons you for a quest through realms of courtly chaos, enchanted fanfares, and tragically misjudged costume choices.

Dust off thy armour and grab thy goblet — A Knight at the Symphony awaits! We shall journey through dragon-infested mountains, misty meadows, and the ever-legendary Land of Far Far Away — with nothing but our instruments, some sheet music, and a cart full of emotional baggage (mostly from the violas).

Arrive early for a Renaissance fair in the courtyard: a feast of local food vendors and a themed bar. It’s the most noble, ridiculous, and revelrous way to kick off your summer.

Featuring music from How to Train Your Dragon, The Witcher, Shrek, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Prokofiev, and more!

Free & Open to the Public
