This summer, Interlochen Arts Camp welcomed 24 students to its Advanced String Quartet program. The students in these six quartets recently visited IPR's Studio A to perform some of the music they learned this summer.
Lenny Schranze, the faculty coordinator of the program, also discussed the Advanced String Quartet program with IPR.
Listen to each quartet's performance below.
