Watch as the Kennedy Center's Hall of States is transformed in preparation for the Ireland Festival and JFK's Centennial Celebration.
William Close is an installation artist and musician who has developed over 100 new types of musical instruments. He is the inventor of the majestic stringed instrument The Earth Harp, the world's largest stringed instrument. Close's work explores the connection between architecture and music--taking inspiration from the Frank Lloyd Wright quote "architecture is frozen music," he creates musical installations that use the architecture as part of the instrument.
For IRELAND 100, Close will create a special Earth Harp to fill the Hall of States. Visitors will be able to view this stunning installation, as well as hear it played during daily short performances.
