It's time for Festival at Interlochen Arts Academy!
From Wednesday, May 24 to Friday, May 26, the Interlochen Center for the Arts campus will be buzzing as the Academy year comes to a close.
The annual Arts Academy Festival features all seven arts disciplines (music, film & new media, theater, dance, creative writing, visual arts and interdisciplinary arts) with three days full of concerts, performances, exhibits, screenings, and readings.
The Interlochen campus is open to the public for these events if you'd like to attend in person. Click HERE to view the complete schedule of events.
Classical IPR will also be celebrating Festival on the air Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Every hour, we'll feature Interlochen Arts Academy alumni who have gone on to outstanding professional classical music careers.
Hear music recorded by Interlochen Arts Academy alumni who perform in professional orchestras, who have won Grammy Awards and who have distinguished teaching careers.
