"In honor of the Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, Peter Cummings, president emeritus of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra Board, hosted a preconcert reception on March 15. An intimate gathering of 50 people, at Cumming's invitation, enjoyed a premium open bar and an elaborate buffet spread that included whole-grain mustard crusted lamb chops, wild mushroom stuffed ravioli, seafood salad ceviche and strawberry Asian lime fruit soup shots."
"The purpose of the tour is to introduce new audiences to the vast holdings of the Library and its broad cultural mission. Among the items on display were the original score to Gershwin's 'Porgy and Bess' and an original sketch for Copland's 'Appalachian Spring.'
