Outreach in the Performing Arts

Outreach in the Performing Arts at the University of Michigan School  of Music organizes performances by student musicians at schools,  hospitals, and retirement centers.  the program encourages education  through community outreach.

Outreach in the Performing Arts encourages students to be engaged  with the University, Ann Arbor, and surrounding communities.  The  program provides students with resources and support while they learn  from the experience of live performances and interaction with  community audiences.

Our faculty advisor, Professor Louis Nagel, is  well connected with our community partners and audiences.  He meets  with students throughout the semester to help them prepare for  performances.  Students learn to select appropriate music for and to interact with various community audiences in a meaningful way.   Students may elect to receive credit by enrolling in the Outreach in  the Performing Arts course 683 (101 undergraduate or 401 graduate).

Audiences in the community unanimously praise our student performers and  request that they return for future engagements.  We believe that the  program's education and therapeutic value for students and community  members is invaluable.
