"This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment,"
"with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything that has taken place with respect to such a Facility before."
"direct conflict"
The Kennedy Center will close for two years beginning July 4 for renovations. The closure was announced on Truth Social and described the building as tired, broken and dilapidated, requiring financial and structural fixes. Leadership changes include ousting previous leaders, handpicking board members, appointing the president as chair, adding his name to the facade, and renaming the venue the 'Trump Kennedy Center'. The announcement did not address recent event cancellations. The center plans a grand reopening after two years. Several performers canceled, including Philip Glass, who withdrew his Symphony No. 15 'Lincoln,' saying the center's current values are in "direct conflict" with the piece.
