When it comes down to throwing a stylish bash, few venues in the District do it up better than the Kennedy Center. On Sunday, this iconic monument to educational and artistic programming in the performing arts will present its 19th Annual Kennedy Center Spring Gala, Michael Kaiser at the Kennedy Center: A Celebration of Ten Years.

“The Spring Gala is always a popular event, but this is a very special year,” said Leslie Miller, director of special events, who has planned the galas for the past 15 years. “Our president, Michael Kaiser, has been at the Kennedy Center for 10 years, and the evening is a celebration of his contributions.”
