Musician Lizzo played several flutes during a tour of the US Library of Congress on September 26, the library said, the day before she played in concert a crystal flute made in 1813 for US President James Madison.

The singer, who is a classically trained flutist, was invited to the library by Carla Hayden, the librarian of Congress. Lizzo replied in a tweet, and so the visit took place.

In video here, Lizzo is seen in the library’s flute vault, home to “the largest flute collection in the world,” according to Hayden. She also gives performances in the library’s main reading room and great hall. Credit: Library of Congress via Storyful
