Scythian Concert

Sunday, May 25th | 6pm - 11pm

Bijou Theatre | 803 South Gay St., Knoxville, TN 37902

Treat yourself and your loved ones to an unforgettable evening with Scythian and Four Leaf Peat at the Bijou Theatre.   You have to catch this live show to understand why The Carmel City Dispatch said of Scythian’s Merlefest performance: “[Scythian gives] no quarter in their quest to entertain and bring a joy to their music that gives it an irony-free, wide open feel of manic possibility. The playing is technically brilliant, but it is the energy that carries the day."

This is your chance to leave your stress and worries at the door and spend the night with two bands with long cultural memories.

Funds raised from the concert benefit the Chesterton Academy.

What is Chesterton Academy?

High School with a Higher Purpose

Chesterton Academy of St. Margaret Clitherow is a Catholic, classical high school located in Knoxville, TN. Inspired by the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith, the Chesterton Academy seeks to form young men and women to be joyful saints. By introducing them to great thinkers such as Socrates, Thomas Aquinas and Dante, and by forming them in a distinctly Catholic culture, we lead students to choose for themselves the adventure of being a disciple of Christ.

  • An Incarnational Environment

    From history and theology to math and science, the Incarnation is the central mystery we explore across the entire curriculum. It is our desire that each student would personally experience the Incarnation.

  • A Focus on Truth, Goodness, and Beauty

    Our classical curriculum combines a broad, liberal arts education with a strong emphasis on the development of Christian virtues and an appreciation of beauty.

  • A Joyful Learning Environment

    We create environments where students experience the joy of community and the discovery process, providing them with an opportunity to live out their spiritual life in an atmosphere of joy and fun.

  • Rediscovering the Lost Tools of Learning

    Our curriculum is centered on skills seemingly forgotten in our modern society: reading, writing, oral presentations, and the development of critical reasoning skills through logic and philosophy.

  • The Socratic Seminar

    The Socratic seminar is perhaps the oldest educational tool. Through this method, a teacher imparts knowledge through directed questions and guided dialogue, bringing ideas and knowledge to life.

  • The Wit and Wisdom of G.K. Chesterton

    Chesterton exemplified the Catholic faith through his wit, his clarity, his kindness, and his ability to love people with whom he disagreed, while sharing the faith in Christian charity.
