The Kennedy Center is a large cultural complex opened 1971 in Washington, D.C., with a total of six stages, designed by Edward Stone. The complex, surfaced in marble, makes use of the ornamental facade screens for which the architect is known. Its three main theatres are entered from the Grand Foyer, which faces the Potomac River. The
Concert Hall, the largest auditorium, has been designated a national monument; its acoustics are considered exceptional, and its embossed ceiling and crystal chandeliers have been much admired. The Kennedy
Center is the nation's busiest performing arts center, hosting approximately 3,000 events each year for audiences numbering more
than 2 million.
Georgetown is a neighborhood located in the Northwest quadrant of Washington D.C., along the Potomac River waterfront. Founded in 1751, the city of Georgetown substantially predated the establishment of the city of Washington and the District of Columbia. Today Georgetown is

landmarks and embassies.
