Synopsis:
Tucked away in the northern woods of Michigan is the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Conceived as a summer camp for talented high school musicians, Interlochen now ranks as one of the world's most renowned schools for the arts.
Dean Boal, president of Interlochen from 1989 to 1995, presents a richly detailed and never-before-told story of this home for the arts. This thoroughly researched presentation offers an in-depth view of the school from its modest beginnings under Joseph Maddy to the present. Boal decribes the turbulent years with union problems, the Karl Haas years, the school's relationship with the University of Michigan, and the famous artists who consider teaching at Interlochen to be a very special experience.
Archival photographs of the founders, artists, and students complement this engaging story of a Michigan gem.
Dean Boal is president emeritus of the Interlochen Center for the Arts. He was vice president of cultural programming and program services for National Public Radio, in Washington, D.C., and founding president of the St. Louis Conservatory and Community Schools for the Arts.
From Library Journal:
Boal, president emeritus of the Interlochen Center for the Arts, has written an extensive history, warts and all, of "the largest youth center for the arts in the United States." Today, as when it was founded by Joseph Maddy as the National High School Orchestra Camp in 1928, the Interlochen Arts Academy continues to focus on performance, especially music. Classes in theater, dance, visual arts, and creative writing make it a truly comprehensive fine arts institution. This is not a nostalgic story replete with anecdotes but a thoroughly researched account of the center based on documents from the Bentley Historical Library, Interlochen archives, and interviews. Archival photographs are included. Alumni interested in the behind-the-scenes activities at Interlochen will find this book of particular interest. A definite purchase for music/ conservatory libraries and large academic collections.?Janet Brewer, Murray State Univ. Lib., KY
