Everybody In, Nobody Out: Inspiring Community at Michigan's University Musical Society by Ken Fischer:
Former APAP Board Chair Ken Fischer served as President of the University Musical Society of the University of Michigan for 30 years until his retirement in 2017. Everybody In, Nobody Out is about his ambitious campaign to expand and diversify UMS’s programming and audiences, deepening UMS’s engagement with the university and Southeast Michigan communities and leading to exemplary partnerships with distinguished artists across the world and the awarding of the National Medal of Arts in 2014. Peppered with colorful anecdotes, this book is a reflection on the power of the performing arts to engage and enrich communities—not by handing down cultural enrichment from on high, but by meeting communities where they live and helping them preserve cultural heritage, incubate talent, and find ways to make community voices heard. For more information visit: https://www.press.umich.edu/.
