MCYO - Season Highlights 1999-2001


Strathmore was approved!!!

The County Council  unanimously approved the proposed $89 million concert hall and education center in North Bethesda May 10.  This will be the future home for MCYO, . along with the National Chamber Orchestra and the  Masterwork Chorus and Orchestra.  The Baltimore Symphony will also perform a concert series at Strathmore.  This state-of- the art facility will provide us with the well needed rehearsal space, concert facilities, and office space which we have desperately needed the last few years.  Click here for more details of this facility as reported by the Gazette Newpapers.
