Ira Gershwin Gallery at Walt Disney Concert Hall
The Library of Congress Gallery at Walt Disney Concert Hall is the only permanent Library of Congress exhibition outside of Washington DC and provides Angelenos direct access to the Library's rich and diverse collections.
The Gershwin Gallery presents "Molto Animato! Music and Animation". The exhibit explores the unparalleled collections in the Music; Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound; and Prints and Photographs divisions of the Library of Congress. Molto Animato ("very animated") juxtaposes music scores, lyrics, and drawings with film clips and sound recordings to provide a glimpse into the intricate wedding of art forms that bring drawings to life. This exhibition provides a small sample of the Library's treasures that demonstrate the magic of animation and the music that makes it come alive.
The Gallery, designed by Hodgetts and Fung Design Associates, was made possible by a generous gift from the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Trust for the Benefit of the Library of Congress. The exhibit may be seen while taking a tour or when attending a performance of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.
