Lionel Richie in Conversation with Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden

Women have played a crucial role in protecting our country and our democracy since America's founding. They have served in every major conflict since the Revolutionary War. Today there are over two million women veterans in the United States. They comprise the fastest growing and most diverse demographic in military and veteran population. Despite centuries of honorable service and constant growth, women who serve are still often overlooked leaving many women veterans to feel unheard and unseen.
The Netherlands Chamber Choir's vision of the work creates a riveting central focus for a dancer in the role of the saint. Tall plexiglass tubes enclose the seven singers, a startlingly apt metaphor evoking the isolation and loneliness in our society. In three pieces from György Ligeti's Nonsense Madrigals, the choir attacks Peter with mockery and derision before the climactic final motet. Filmed at the onset of the pandemic, this multidisciplinary presentation reveals di Lasso's masterwork as starkly relevant today.
This orientation session will introduce the visual collections created by and related to women architects and designers, including Ray Eames, Chloethiel Woodard Smith, Maya Lin, and other women creators in a variety of design disciplines. Instruction will cover collection highlights, searching library catalogs and finding aids, research guides and how to prepare for a future visit to the reading room. Register for this event.
