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 />

composer at his piano (May 16, 2007).<br />
Plácido Domingo conducts the Washington National Opera (May 31, 2007).<br />
“At a post-performance reception for invited guests, a<br />
clearly pleased Mr. Domingo expressed his delight at<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 />

to the art of Sacred Harp singing.<br />
• The Ruth Rales Comcast Kids Student Concerts brought all<br />

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