Presenting more than 2,000 performances annually and nearly 2 million visitors, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is America's busiest arts facility. The Kennedy Center presents the greatest performers in music, dance, and theater to the public. As part of the Kennedy Center's extensive Performing Arts for Everyone outreach program, hundreds of free performances are offered every year featuring international, national, and local artists. Concerts on the Millennium Stage take place every evening at 6 p.m., 365 days a year. In 1999, the Center began web-casting each night’s live performance, and continues to archive and maintain each event in a database of more than 2,500 performances which may be accessed via the Center’s website, www.kennedy-center.org. The web-casts have been viewed more than 1,500,000 times. Every year, 20 million people attend Kennedy Center touring productions such as Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour or tune in to television or radio broadcasts, including: The Kennedy Center Honors, The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize, and National Public Radio’s JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater and Toast of the Nation, performed annually on New Year’s Eve. |
