The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation believes that a thriving cultural climate makes a city a better place to live and work. Its giving in the field of Arts and Culture emanates from a long-standing commitment to enhance the quality of life in the cities where it has an interest and, by extension, to improve the quality of life in America.

Continental Harmony is an undertaking of both intimate and epic proportions weaving together the individual musical creations of more than 50 regions and composers into an event of national significance. It reflects Knight Foundation's values, interest in community and commitment to the creation of new work.
