Jacqueline Kennedy White House invitation card, accompanied by the original reply card, inviting the recipient to “An Evening with Andrés Segovia” held under the honorary chairmanship of Mrs. Kennedy. The event was hosted by the Members of the President’s Cabinet and scheduled for Monday, March 18, at 8:30 p.m. in the State Department Auditorium, with black-tie attire specified. The formal script invitation reflects the Kennedy administration’s commitment to elevating the arts within the cultural life of the White House.

The invitation reflects Mrs. Kennedy’s role in shaping the cultural atmosphere of Washington during the early 1960s, particularly her interest in introducing distinguished artists and performances into official and social life at the capital.

Both cards exhibit small staple holes at the corners, consistent with period handling and archival filing.

Jacqueline Kennedy (1929–1994), First Lady of the United States from 1961 to 1963, is remembered for transforming the White House into a center of history, culture, and the arts. Her patronage of music, literature, and the visual arts left a lasting imprint on the cultural identity of the Kennedy administration.

Andrés Segovia (1893–1987) was one of the most influential classical guitarists of the 20th century, widely credited with elevating the guitar to the concert stage and expanding its serious classical repertoire.

A highly desirable White House cultural artifact, offering direct insight into Jacqueline Kennedy’s arts initiatives and the intersection of diplomacy, music, and elegance at the height of the Kennedy era.
