Michael Martin Kaiser is the President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC. By 1994 he had formed his own arts management consultancy with clients who included the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and the Market Theatre in Johannesburg, South Africa; the following year saw him become Executive Director of the American Ballet Theatre.

He came to the Kennedy Center in 2001 from the General Directorship of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden in London. At the Kennedy Center he oversees all the artistic activities, and has increased the Center’s already broad educational efforts, established cross-disciplinary programming with opera, symphony and dance, established an “Institute for Arts Management”, created unprecedented theater festivals celebrating the works of Stephen Sondheim and Tennessee Williams, and arranged for continuing visits by Saint Petersburg’s Mariinsky Theater Opera, Ballet, and Orchestra, and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
