The Music Center at Strathmore’s artistic programming team has generated many offerings for its 2011-2012 season. Fifty-five programs will be performed over the course of the presentation season, marking Strathmore’s most varied lineup of talent to date. Twenty-eight performers will either be returning or making their debuts at the venue. They include jazz guitarist Par Metheny, jazz virtuosos John Pizzarelli and Kurt Elling. The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields plays for the first time with their recently appointed artistic director and violinist Joshua Bell, while comedienne and actress Lily Tomlin and dance legend Tommy Tune share dazzling evenings with Strathmore audiences.
“I am so excited about being invited back to Strathmore, because it marked the beginning of my show, ‘Steps in Time,'” said Tune.
