A Message from<br />
the President<br />
Deborah F. Rutter<br />
Greetings! This is a performance-<br />
packed issue—we’ve got a lot of<br />
exciting events and performances<br />
this spring.<br />
In March, we present the<br />
inaugural season of DIRECT<br />
CURRENT, a celebration of<br />
contemporary culture. The Kennedy<br />
Center (and the city) will be<br />
electrified by pop-up concerts and<br />
dance parties, happenings, and<br />
innovative performances from some<br />
of today’s cultural risk-takers and<br />
most creative minds.<br />
