Few artists can convey the deeply resonant, affecting power of music like Tony Bennett. The legendary singer whose voice has scored American popular culture across six decades will bring his remarkable talent and charm to the Music Center when he headlines Strathmore’s Annual Spring Gala on Saturday, May 6, 2017. Bennett’s career includes such hits as “Steppin’ Out with My Baby” and “I left My heart in San Francisco” alongside projects like his 2014 collaborative album with Lady Gaga, demonstrating versatility and a deft ability to reach new audiences—something Strathmore strives for with its diverse concerts, education programs, and community outreach activities. For more information or to purchase tickets for the performance only, call (301) 581-5100 or visit www.strathmore.org.
Concert-only tickets will be available to the public beginning March 10, 2017 at 10 a.m. Gala ticket packages can be purchased by contacting The Sorelle Group at (202) 248-1930 or [email protected].
The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with cocktails, followed by a three-course dinner catered by Ridgewells, the gala program in the Concert Hall, and performance by Tony Bennett. Gala guests and Strathmore members will also be invited to drinks and dessert in a post-show lounge party.
Proceeds benefit Strathmore’s extensive education offerings and community outreach initiatives, including the East County Initiative, making the arts more accessible in areas of acute need along the Route 29 corridor, the Strathmore Student Concerts, the Artist in Residence and Strathmore Summer Intensive programs, and the Spring Break @ Strathmore camp.
