April Slayton writes: “Last Friday, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden saw that the one and only Lizzo was coming to D.C. for a concert. The pop megastar is a classically trained flutist. The Library has the world’s largest flute collection.” Hayden invited Lizzo to visit LC, where she played James Madison’s crystal flute and several of the Library’s other instruments in the Great Hall. Under careful LC security, she also briefly played the crystal flute for fans at her concert. “Before Lizzo arrived, the Library’s curators in the Music Division made sure that it could be played safely and without damage.”
