Concerts
Mildred and Robert Woods Bliss designed Dumbarton Oaks to be beautiful without and within, filling the gardens with flowers, the library with rare volumes, and the house itself with fine art and music. The Blisses enjoyed many performances in the The Music Room, most notably a concerto by Igor Stravinsky, which was commissioned to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary in 1938. Friends of Music continues this tradition with concerts from established and rising musicians.
