Where is 'classical' music headed in the future? Interlochen Arts Academy alumni Theo VanDyke, a trumpeter now at Juilliard, and Kens Lui, a trombonist at New England Conservatory, talk with two leaders at Interlochen Center for the Arts: President Jeffrey Kimpton and Director of Music Kedrik Merwin, about their thoughts on music innovation, musical assignments to avoid, and the exhilarating life that music offers.
In this conversation, Kens Lui performs Fantasie-Pieces (first movement) by Robert Schumann, in an arrangement for trombone and piano. Theo VanDyke performs Vocalise in the form of an Habanera by Maurice Ravel, in an arrangement for trumpet and piano. Steve Larson, Interlochen faculty, is the pianist.
