Fri Mar 14 02:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Senator Vance Booed at Kennedy Center Concert
**WASHINGTON, D.C. —** Senator J.D. Vance was met with a chorus of boos Thursday night during a performance of Stravinsky’s *Petrushka* at the Kennedy Center. Audience members reportedly jeered the senator upon recognizing him as he took his seat. The incident comes amidst ongoing controversy surrounding the Kennedy Center, with over 20 performances cancelled or postponed since Donald Trump’s installation as chairman. These cancellations, including a production of *Hamilton*, have been attributed to Trump’s promised “Vision for a Golden Age in Arts and Culture” and subsequent board shakeups. The incident highlights the growing tension surrounding the Kennedy Center’s leadership and its impact on the arts community.
