Arts access has been an important part of Strathmore’s mission since its founding. In 2016, Strathmore expanded its commitment to taking the arts beyond its walls, particularly in the eastern part of Montgomery County. “Strathmore is such an important part of the identity of Montgomery County, and it is such a special place,” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich. “But we know the arts are not equally accessible to all members of our County. The ‘East County Initiative’ of Bloom by Strathmore is a creative way to bring a variety of music to community members who might otherwise never have this opportunity. We are happy that Strathmore and Montgomery County Recreation are again partnering in this innovative program.”
More information about Strathmore’s Bloom program can be found at Bloom By Strathmore. The scheduled lineup for this season’s Bloom at Good Hope concert series:
- Saturday, March 11. Standards Reimagined with Christie Dashiell
- Saturday, April 8. Nistha Raj and Chris Bacon: Indian Music Meets Beatbox
- Saturday, May 13. Latin Jazz with Taisha Estrada
