Product Description
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.

Interlochen: A Home for the Arts April 2, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book was very interesting and contained detailed information about the history of the Interlochen Center for the Arts. Boal talks about all of the struggles that were gone through to bring the camp and the academy to life. The book was very interesting to me an Interlochen Arts Camp alumnus and I believe it would be to other alumni. The book would be helpful to anyone interested in learning more about Interlochen and all of the changes the camp and academy have gone through and the dreams that were made here and achieved here. I believe the book would also be helpful to anyone considering attending the camp or the academy and his/her parents.
