ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE at STRATHMORE
In 2005, Strathmore introduced its Artist in Residence program, an initiative to help cultivate local musical talent in the Washington, DC area by connecting established artists with up-and-coming musicians. Each artist will perfect his/her performances, create an education program and premiere a new work commissioned by Strathmore. The premiere will occur on the last concert of the month and reflect the musical growth of the artist in residence.
