Dear Friend,

It’s always sad to see summer come to an end… but Strathmore has so many amazing events lined up for fall, I can’t help but feel excited for that first autumn chill. I’m talking The Princess Bride’s Cary Elwes, The Simon & Garfunkel Story, Sergio Mendes, Lila Downs—and that’s just through October! What fall show are you most looking forward to?

Enjoy these final weeks of summer days and nights (we have ideas for HOW to spend them below) and we’ll see you in the Music Center soon!

Take care,

Alaina
Vice President, Marketing & Communications

P.S. Are you a yoga enthusiast? Be sure to join us at AMP on August 31 for a special intermediate candlelight Yoga and Live Music event to help you transition through the seasons! Get your tickets now!
