Center Magazine is the Kennedy Center's new, reimagined patron magazine that brings the arts into your home while offering more stories, more inspiration, and more fun from our community.
Based on the groundbreaking Italian film 8 ½, Nine follows famed director Guido Contini, suffering from “director’s block” on his latest film and from a strained marriage to the neglected Luisa, as he retreats into his mind, where women from his past and present bombard his senses and throw reality into question.

The NSO’s magnificent new 2024 season officially began with a night of glamor and romance as classical music’s newest rock star Yunchan Lim performed one of the world’s greatest masterpieces, Rachmaninoff’s sweeping Piano Concerto No. 2. Hailed as a “one-in-a-million talent” (Dallas Morning News) with “the potential to become a once-in-generation pianist” (The New Yorker), Lim became the youngest Gold Award winner at the 2022 Van Cliburn International Competition.
