The <strong>Strathmore</strong> Annual Report for 2006–2007 is a story of<br />

stability, discovery and cooperative enterprise among partners.<br />

Now in our third operating year, the precipitous climb from a<br />

$2 million budget before opening to a $6 million annual<br />

operating budget is accomplished. As you’ll see, thanks to<br />

excellent earned income and generous contributed income,<br />

we have built a business model capable of sustaining both the<br />

Mansion and the Music Center for years to come. In 2006, we<br />

were blessed with our first private $1 million gift from Jim and<br />

Carol Trawick to create an educational program endowment.<br />

We also discovered a broad and diverse audience in our<br />

market who enthusiastically supported artists of their culture,<br />

country and musical language. The size and enthusiasm of the<br />

Chinese, Hispanic, African-American and Korean audiences<br />

was particularly gratifying. <strong>Strathmore</strong> now regularly programs<br />

for the world’s audiences and they come.<br />

With six partners sharing one building, we launched a One Portal<br />

Initiative to “make it easier to buy, easier to give, and easier to<br />

work” for our partners and staff. Together, we began building<br />

cooperative marketing, development, programming, and<br />

education strategies by combining resources to improve services<br />

and programs for our customers. Joint publications and<br />

simplified ticket purchasing, shared artistic and teaching talent,<br />

simplified web access are just the beginning. Tell us what you’d<br />

like to see, and we’ll work to make it happen.<br />

2006–2007 is a story of many successes: <strong>Strathmore</strong>’s unique<br />

model; our connection with diverse audiences; and a newfound<br />

collaboration between historically competitive arts<br />

organizations … three small miracles unheard of a decade<br />

ago. If, with your help, we can come that far in three years,<br />

can you imagine what the future holds at <strong>Strathmore</strong><br />

the company’s enthusiastic reception at <strong>Strathmore</strong>,<br />

broadly hinting that he would seriously consider<br />

making this an annual event.”<br />

—TERRY PONICK, THE WASHINGTON TIMES, JUNE 2, 2007<br />

“But this week at <strong>Strathmore</strong> was very different and<br />

really special, because it was the first time I’ve done<br />

my own show in such a big hall. And obviously, Songs<br />

for a New World is a very important show to me. Not<br />

to mention that the hall is absolutely gorgeous and<br />

designed to be extraordinarily acoustically versatile,<br />

which suits that show perfectly.”<br />

—JASON ROBERT BROWN, TONY AWARD-WINNING<br />

Dedicated to Education<br />

FY2007 marked the first year in a major expansion of<br />

<strong>Strathmore</strong>’s education and outreach programs. <strong>Strathmore</strong><br />

initiated four new education programs, which served over<br />

1,100 children and adults in workshops, masterclasses and<br />

lectures. An even larger expansion of programs is slated for<br />

FY2008 and FY2009. Highlights of the season include:<br />

Shape Note Singing <strong>Works</strong>hop (April 15, 2007)<br />

Glass Art <strong>Works</strong>hop (February 17, 2007)<br />

This was our first visit, I wish we had known about BYT<br />

[Backyard Theater] earlier! Our kids were doing their<br />

own improv, and we loved it, as well!<br />

—JENNIFER GIBSON, CHEVY CHASE, JULY 2006<br />

• A $1 million donation to the <strong>Strathmore</strong> Endowment to<br />

support art and music education programs from Jim and<br />

Carol Trawick.<br />

• The sold-out Family Sing Series which brought grandparents,<br />

parents and children to share in the joy of singing together.<br />

• Inspired by its popular art programs for children, <strong>Strathmore</strong><br />

launched Art <strong>Works</strong>hops for adults in glass, polymer clay<br />

and painting.<br />

• Lend Me Your Ear pre-performance lectures proved a<br />

popular add-on for ticket buyers to Music Center<br />

performances.<br />

• The Shape Note Singing Series introduced over 200 patrons<br />

to the art of Sacred Harp singing.<br />

• The Ruth Rales Comcast Kids Student Concerts brought all<br />

10,000 Montgomery County Public Schools 2nd graders to a<br />

Concert Hall performance by the National Philharmonic for<br />

the 3rd time since the opening of the Music Center.<br />

Students prepared for the concert experience with extensive<br />

pre-performance educational materials, and joined in with<br />

the orchestra to perform a song during the concert.<br />

• <strong>Strathmore</strong>’s Artist in Residence program entered its second<br />

successful year. Former emerging artists in residence are<br />

enjoying greater levels of success: Frédéric Yonnet (AIR<br />

Committed<br />

to Community<br />

An important element of <strong>Strathmore</strong>’s mission is serving the<br />

many interests of our local community. Residents of<br />

Montgomery County represent diverse demographic and<br />

economic backgrounds, originate from countries all over the<br />

world, and speak 134 languages. During FY2007 <strong>Strathmore</strong><br />

presented a wide selection of programs for our community<br />

including:<br />

• Over 7,000 patrons attended performances, workshops and<br />

demonstrations presented by <strong>Strathmore</strong> and our resident<br />

partners at the annual Discover <strong>Strathmore</strong> festival, which<br />

was presented in collaboration with the annual East Coast<br />

Jazz Festival.<br />

• Over 9,000 patrons attended ten performances on the<br />

<strong>Strathmore</strong> Free Summer Outdoor Concert Series, which<br />

featured classical, rock, blues, folk, country and big band.<br />

• Children and parents enjoyed eight low-ticket price Backyard<br />

Theater performances by Billy B., Footworks Percussive<br />

Dance Ensemble, Catfish Hodge and more, sponsored by<br />

Provident Bank.<br />

• <strong>Strathmore</strong> and the BSO at <strong>Strathmore</strong> co-presented a<br />

neighborhood Block Party, featuring performances by the<br />

Baltimore Symphony and the folk/ bluegrass band Chatham<br />

County Line for the low ticket price of $10.<br />

• Numerous culturally and ethnically diverse performances<br />

graced our stages, including, Orquestra de São Paulo, Jigu!<br />

Thunder Drums of China, Hamburg Symphony, Flamenco<br />

Vivo Carlota Santana, The Irish Tenors, Kusun Ensemble, a<br />

Cherry Blossom Concert, and Chopteeth Afro-Funk Big Band.<br />

Local dancers enjoy a masterclass with Tommy the Clown and his dancers,<br />

sponsored by <strong>Strathmore</strong> (October 6, 2007).<br />

It was Tom’s first outing since his surgery. We have<br />

high praise for the staff and volunteers, who made<br />

everything go smoothly—a ride from the garage, a<br />

wheelchair, and a place to enjoy our pre-show wine.<br />

And the performance provided the high-energy,<br />

creative boost we needed after a long week! (Kudos<br />

to your facilities team for keeping the walkway,<br />

flooring, and other surfaces dry and safe for guests<br />

with crutches.)<br />

—GAIL THOMASON & TOM JAEGER, ROCKVILLE,<br />

FEBRUARY 2007<br />

You people are lucky folks—This building is amazing,<br />

just amazing. We are honored to share our gifts here<br />

… I applaud all who had the vision to build this …<br />
