My love affair with ArtsFund began in 1999. I leave this month with the ArtsFund logo tattooed on my heart. I am blessed that Peter Donnelly hired rejects (as he took great delight in describing me, after finding me among the non-hired finalists for a local campaign). I did not know I would be working with such wonderful volunteers and colleagues, nor how splendid my last four years would be working with Jim Tune – the quintessential Southern Gentleman, and one of the best bosses I’ve ever had.

  • Orlando Ballet Hires Turnaround Expert Michael Kaiser
    January 20, 2016 Orlando Ballet hires turnaround expert Michael Kaiser By MATTHEW J. PALM Dogged by financial struggles and a string of short-term executive directors, Orlando Ballet has hired a top name in arts leadership to shore up the organization. Michael M. Kaiser, who spent 15 years as president of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., began consulting with the ballet this month. He left the center in August and “Giselle” dress rehearsal: Orlando Ballet dancers and Orlando Philharmonic is chairman of the DeVos musicians prepare for the ballet opening Friday, Oct. 30, at the Dr. Phillips Institute of Arts Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando. This will be the first season in Management at the which the ballet has live music for every performance. (Photo: Ricardo University of Maryland. Ramirez Buxeda) “Based on his track record of turning around arts organizations, and specifically ballet companies, we are confident his leadership will help us continue the momentum we have as a company and guide us toward long-term growth and success,” said Sibille Pritchard, a former Orlando Ballet board chair who is leading the turnaround effort. Facing a cash crunch before Christmas, the organization cut back on performances of “The Nutcracker” and threw the future of its much-ballyhooed live orchestral accompaniment into doubt. The ballet also severed ties with interim executive director James Cundiff, the group's sixth leader in six years. Throughout his career, Kaiser has demonstrated that he's not afraid of a challenge. During his tenure at the Kennedy Center, Kaiser oversaw a major renovation project and created the arts-management institute.
