A statement from Monica Jeffries Hazangeles, President & CEO of Strathmore:
“Like so many of you, we at Strathmore are profoundly troubled by the distressing events of the past week. We stand strongly against racism and the injustices disproportionately borne by black members of our community. We are reminded of our intense need for the arts and of the critical role they play in building a more tolerant world – to give voice to those unheard, to reveal our commonality and develop understanding. They heal, uplift, and humble us. They are our solace and our inspiration. We are here for all our artists, patrons, staff, board, students, and volunteers of color for whom these events are especially personal and affecting. And, we remain committed to human equality, social justice, and the peaceful expression of creativity.” —Monica Jeffries Hazangeles

A message from President and CEO Monica Jeffries Hazangeles:
Dear friends,
Get Closer. For years, this has been our enthusiastic invitation… to join us for intensely personal experiences that bring you face to face with brilliant and diverse art, artists, and audiences. While, today, it might seem defiantly provocative, it also has never resonated more clearly. It is our charge.
A longtime patron recently wrote, “With Strathmore dark, I feel unmoored.” Such a personal and poignant confession! Many of us are feeling alone and untethered from the things that we love, that bring us comfort, and that inspire us. I’m reaching out because we miss you, we hope you are well, and we want to help you Get Closer.
Our staff and volunteers are personally speaking with patrons every day.
We’re presenting creative online content that transports you to our Mansion galleries and invites you into the living rooms of our Artists in Residence!
We’re delivering free online lessons and videos directly to Montgomery County Public School teachers and gathering our Strathmore Children’s Chorus and Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra student musicians “together” every week in virtual rehearsals.
We continue to provide crucial access to the arts through our growing Bloom initiative.
And, it’s working. Thousands of you are listening, watching, writing, sharing, and creating. You’re sending us notes and photos of your artwork, joining us on Zoom for chats at lunch, and celebrating life’s milestones with us – new babies have arrived and our own House Assistant, Irv Andrusia turned 101 yesterday!
Despite the difficult financial impact and uncertainty of these challenging times, we will not waver in our commitment to our community. Strathmore continues to respond in bold and hopeful ways, staying close to you, and planning for a bright future.
The 2020-2021 Season is exciting and innovative and includes some of the most ambitious projects in Strathmore’s history. I cannot wait to share some of the special programs and profound work that awaits. We’ll unveil exactly what’s planned in the coming weeks.
This is what you expect from Strathmore, and these brave choices in such a demanding environment require more from us than ever!
So, I invite you to act boldly, too. Please consider investing in what you value most at Strathmore. This is a very meaningful time to give, and your support makes a tremendous impact on our artists, students, and community. Your tax-deductible contribution and purchase of tickets and gift certificates will help us continue to respond with confidence and optimism.
Until we can be together again, Get Closer. Invest in our future together at Strathmore. I cannot imagine a more hopeful act.
With much gratitude,
Monica Jeffries Hazangeles
President and CEO
