The Library of Congress celebrates the acquisition of the papers of legendary songwriter and composer Burt Bacharach. The 2012 Gershwin Prize honoree’s body of work, which includes celebrated film scores and award-winning popular music hits such as “Raindrops Keep Dropping on My Head” and “Close to You,” became a staple of American culture in the 1960s and ‘70s. Under the artistic direction of Broadway director and conductor Andy Einhorn, the evening concert features Tony and Grammy-nominated artist Liz Callaway, Jordan Tyson of Hadestown on Broadway, Cassondra James (The Queen of Versailles), Danny Kornfeld (Harmony), and Zachary Noah Piser (Dear Evan Hansen). Enjoy an unforgettable evening of signature songs as well as rare pieces from Bacharach’s collection housed at the Library.
