What happens when two childhood friends spend decades returning to the same Michigan woods — and begin to realize they're not the only ones out there?In this intense and unforgettable episode, we sit down with Dean and Norm, lifelong outdoorsmen from Northern Michigan who have been encountering strange activity in the Manistee National Forest for over 45 years. From their first teenage experiences of being followed through the woods to full-body sightings and hair-raising moments at their remote cabin, their stories are as raw as they are chilling.You'll hear about encounters in places like Mesick, Interlochen, Ludington, and the infamous Harlan Swamp — including rock throws, massive footprints, tree structures, and the terrifying moment something lifted their trailer in the middle of the night.But more than just the evidence, this episode dives into what it feels like to be watched in the dark... to know you're not alone... and to keep going back anyway.This isn't just about Bigfoot. It's about belief, friendship, and the deep mysteries hiding in Michigan's wild places.
Ty Chiko is a baritone, a baker, a visual artist and a social justice advocate. Originally from the Bahamas, he joined Interlochen's faculty last fall as the director of vocal music. Chiko visited IPR's Studio A to perform music of Gustav Mahler and Betty Jackson King.
This weekend, Interlochen collaborative pianist Hyemin Kim presents the first recital in a yearlong series at the Music House Museum. It's called "Women's Life and Love," and Kim will perform with soprano Yeseul Choi. Kim and Choi visited IPR's Studio A to give a musical preview of this weekend's recital. They performed two songs from Robert Schumann's cycle "Women's Life and Love," or "Frauenliebe und Leben." The series is called "Classical Voyage: Intimate Musical Storytelling at the Museum" and will include at least three more recitals in 2024.
Interlochen Arts Academy students have a unique challenge ahead of them. During the 2025-26 Academy year, they will learn one of the most challenging pieces in the orchestral repertoire: the Symphony no. 4 by Charles Ives. Scholar Jan Swafford visited Interlochen to give the Academy students and faculty an introduction to composer Charles Ives. Regarded as one of the most important of American composers, Ives has been called everything from "iconoclast" to "maverick" with his unique approach to music composition. Ives' music often features complex orchestrations, references to American transcendentalism and a strong sense of the composer's spirituality. The music of Charles Ives is also characterized by his frequent use of musical borrowing, with melodies of hymns, patriotic songs, band music and popular tunes woven into each piece. Pieces by Charles Ives excerpted in this presentation Holiday Quickstep Psalm 67 Symphony no. 1 Symphony no. 1 Decoration Day Symphony no. 4 Ragtime Dance Fourth of July

Oh how I've longed to talk to Liv Greene. Every once in a while you come across a young artist that seems older and wiser than her 26 years. Liv's been giving me that impression since I met her in 2019 when she was at Club Passim waiting tables and breaking hearts on the stage at just 21 years. Ok enough about being young. Liv's been writing, studying music and going to music camps since she was 12. Arguably she's been studying music all her life with her Americana loving parents who were filling the house with the sounds of Patty Griffin, Emmylou Harris and Shawn Colvin, to name a few women In music in heavy rotation at the Greene house. Being the only of her friends that liked that kind of music, Liv attended many DC-area concerts with her mom, taking in the magic of live music at a very tender age. Speaking of tenderness, that's what Liv Greene is all about and she digs into it in our conversation. She started writing and playing shortly after she was inspired by a Taylor Swift concert. From there, she took off on the instrument and even sought out music education in camps like Miles of Music in New Hampshire. It was at that camp as well as the arts academy Interlochen High School, where she started meeting peers with similar interests. She found herself living for summers with her music camp friends. Prior to her senior year at Interlochen, Liv was a closeted queer at her all girls Catholic school mostly writing fictionalized stories into her songs because she could not deal with who she was.She attended and graduated from The New England Conservatory of Music and released her debut album (produced by Isa Burke) right in time for the pandemic in May of 2020. Shortly after that, she moved to Nashville and has spent the last several years on an intense path of self-discovery. Liv found her community, came out, wrote and self-produced her new album, Deep Feeler. On this album, you can hear the growth she's experienced and you can hear Liv thriving in her corner of the Nashville Music scene that includes the indie folk music scene. We talk about all of this including what it means to have a neurodivergent brain, music production, the roller skating community and her favorite Taurus personality traits.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/ Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?

Steve Swart was on the bandstand and in college at CMU just in time to see owner Harvey Vanier turn The Foolery into Rubbles. Mt. Pleasant has always been at the dead center of the state of Michigan when it comes to cross-over touring due to WCMU and the college music market. One quick look north from Kalamazoo, Ann Arbor, Detroit and Lansing, all eyes hit the college town. The blended artistry from roots folk, to deep blues, power pop, metal, and first generation punk all huddled in this marketplace, long after the '60s Flint scene dispersed. Yes, you could see Texas blues man Gatemouth Brown, followed by funky rockin' Fishbone, and then a tour stop for the punk legends Dead Milkmen. Or how about Blues Brother Matt 'Guitar' Murphy? Verve Pipe? Etc...this was a Michigan hub town thanks to the venues, Theatres, and WCMU radio. While Swart notes that much remains in historical value, the word-of-mouth of the area's scene is more of a recollection and myth, than the hub it once was. North of Mt. Pleasant lies Interlochen, which seems to have taken on the persona that Mt. Pleasant used to be known for. A quick look at Traverse City, Petoskey, Alpena, or over west to Big Rapids or Grand Rapids, or even east to the Tri-Cities and you can see speckles of the majestic college town scene. Swart is taking the Mt. Pleasant music history seriously and is not only documenting it, but releasing lost shows on YouTube. Steve has compiled a fantastic episode that not only covers his music, but some of his rock/metal expeditions (magnetite)--which is not rock/metal like you think ;) Tune in and check this out too!

Interlochen faculty pianist Hyemin Kim is presenting a recital of music by composers from the 18th century to the present day. The composers represented on her program include Franz Joseph Haydn, Robert Schumann, Claude Debussy, R. Nathaniel Dett and John Corigliano. She recently visited IPR's Studio A to give a preview of some of the music she'll be presenting Friday night in Manistee.
SynopsisSummer music camps offer young talent a chance to rub shoulders with seasoned professional musicians and to perform both old and new musical works. On today's date in 1977, American composer, conductor and educator Howard Hanson led the premiere of his Symphony No. 7 at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan. Hanson subtitled his Seventh A Sea Symphony, and it includes a choral setting of passages from Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. For 40 years, Hanson headed the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. And years later, Eastman professor Augusta Read Thomas follows in Hanson's footsteps as composer-in-residence at various summer music camps. On today's date in 2001, at the annual Aspen Music Festival in Colorado, her piece Murmurs in the Mist of Memory received its world premiere.Speaking of music in general, Thomas says, “Music of all kinds constantly amazes, surprises, propels and seduces me into a wonderful and powerful journey. I am happiest when listening to music and in the process of composing music. I care deeply that music is not anonymous and generic or easily assimilated and just as easily dismissed.”Music Played in Today's ProgramHoward Hanson (1896-1981): Symphony No. 7 (A Sea Symphony); Seattle Symphony and Chorale; Gerard Schwarz, conductor; Delos 3130Augusta Read Thomas (b. 1964): Wind Dances; Louisville Orchestra; Lawrence Leighton Smith, conductor; Albany/Louisville First Edition 010

This is an interview with renowned Jazz drummer Jon Krosnick, who has been a significant figure in the music industry for several decades. Krosnick began playing piano at age 6 and drums at age 9. Most of his formal musical training occurred during ten summers spent at the National Music Camp in Interlochen, Michigan. There, he studied classical percussion and jazz drumming, and he performed with orchestras, concert bands, percussion ensembles, jazz bands, and backup bands for musical theater performances. Recognizing his accomplishments during those years, Jon was awarded the NMC Jazz Scholarship, and he won the High School Division's Concerto Competition. Jon studied classical percussion at Interlochen with many noted instructors, including Niel DePonte (Oregon Symphony) and Scott Stevens (Metropolitan Opera Orchestra). While studying classical percussion with Fred Hinger (Metropolitan Opera Orchestra) in high school, Jon won the Philadelphia Orchestra's Student Concerto Competition and performed with the orchestra... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/backstagejazz/message

The annual Rosalyn Tureck Memorial Concert features Interlochen Arts Academy students performing Bach's music in honor of the late scholar and pianist. This recital takes place because Interlochen is home to the Rosalyn Tureck Bach Research Institute. Tureck was an important scholar of Bach's music in the 20th century, and everyone from Glenn Gould to William F. Buckley to Sharon Isbin sought her opinions. In 2022, Interlochen became the home of the Tureck Bach Research Institute, which includes Rosalyn Tureck's essays, books, writings and recordings. Another part of the Tureck Bach Research Institute is this annual recital in her honor featuring the music of Bach. IPR met two of the pianists who will be playing Bach's music on this recital and got a preview in Studio A. Kené Obiaya is a senior from Chicago, IL. He performed the Prelude and Fugue in D major Book 1 of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Viviane Kim is a senior from Port Jefferson, NY. She performed Bach's Partita in C Minor (BWV 826). Kim is also this year's recipient of the Rosalyn Tureck scholarship, which is awarded to a female Interlochen Arts Academy piano student.
This week I'm highlighting an episode from the archive, with the engaging and talented Leslie DeShazor who is a multi-style violist, violinist and composer based in Detroit. She teaches students both through the Sphinx Organization and the Detroit Symphony as well as privately. She was named one of thirty Professional Movers and Shakers in the Performing Arts by Musical America in 2019 and in 2022 she released her jazz and R&B album “Journey With Me” which features herself as soloist, bandleader, and composer, and "Simply Complicated" from that album is part of this podcast episode. This conversation was full of stories and insights from Leslie's life. She shared valuable perspectives that educators, parents and anyone who mentors children and young adults will find inspiring and thought-provoking. We talked a lot about why kids quit playing music, why so many young adults today have trouble figuring out the direction of their life, and how the educational system can take away people's innate creativity and confidence.

Soprano Amber Cierra Merritt will portray sculptor Edmonia Lewis in the world premiere of opera "Edmonia" by composer Bill Banfield. Lewis was the first sculptor of African American and Native American ancestry to achieve international recognition. Banfield's opera "Edmonia" celebrates Lewis's life, and it's getting its premiere at Interlochen in May. The production will feature student musicians from Interlochen Arts Academy in many of the roles, but the title character will be portrayed by soprano Amber Cierra Merritt. Merritt recently visited IPR's Studio A when she was on campus for "Edmonia" rehearsals. With collaborative pianist Susan Snyder, she performed the aria "Dreams" from Banfield's "Edmonia," as well as the art song "Why Fades a Dream" by Irene Britton Smith (text of Paul Laurence Dunbar). Merritt spoke with IPR about bringing a figure like Edmonia Lewis to life and how her relationship with composer Banfield has helped both of them shape the music and the character. She also talked about her newest role - that of being a mom.

They're not actual travel agents, but they do help us get away. :-) Claire and Victor bring Glenn Poorman and Jim Meyer, organizers of the Interlochen and Stick Camp Canada events, into the virtual studio. After getting things rolling with a retrospective on last summer's events, we then bunny-trail through a plethora of topics such as looping, composition, YouTube videos, and taking a Stick into a live band context. Along the way: accidentally diagnosing a broken piece of gear, the joy and angst of using video to learn a Stick piece, one way to fill in the audience at event performances, and more! Musical selections heard in this episode are Glenn's “A Thousand Words” from his YouTube/scored works collection, and Jim's “Georgia Strait” from his CD “Arbutus and Jade”. Glenn's online scores can be found at http://www.121normal.com/tabs/ Jim was previously a guest on Tap In Time Episode 6 (https://tapintime.podbean.com/e/hanging-out-with-jim-meyer/) and Episode 29 (https://tapintime.podbean.com/e/29-coming-back-for-more-jim-meyer/).

In 1947, a 13-year-old boy from New Rochelle, NY came to Interlochen's National Music Camp because he was entranced by a photo of a young female harpist in the camp's brochure. Jerry Bilik didn't find the harpist that summer, but he did find a love of music that transformed his entire life. He originally enrolled in music composition course because the classroom's windows had a clear view of the girls' tennis courts. After hearing a performance of Mozart's Requiem that summer, Bilik fell in love with the power of music and decided to dedicate himself to it. He stopped looking out the windows during composition class and starting learning how to write music. As a college student, Bilik served as the chief composer and arranger for the University of Michigan Marching Band. Throughout his professional career, Bilik has parlayed his composition and arrangement skills into everything from television to figure skating to magic shows. He worked on music production staff for hit TV shows like "Charlie's Angels" and spent decades as a creative director for Disney on Ice. Now 90, Bilik remains an active composer and researcher. This year, he published a book about his former teacher Tibor Serly and Serly's original compositional method called "Modus Lascivus." He's also still creating arrangements for the University of Michigan Marching Band. Bilik recently spoke to Classical IPR about his life in music so far (he still has a lot of things left to do).

We are thrilled to be back with episode one of season 3 for our Amplifying Optimism in Education podcast! Join us for this delightful conversation with David Bondurant (Assistant Vice President of Information Technology) and Samantha (Sam) Charnes (Associate Vice Provost, Education Operations, Research and Technology) of Interlochen Center for the Arts. In this episode we discussed how at Interlochen they have worked hard to weave technology into the fabric of their arts curriculum in order to enhance the experience for their students and to make the lives of their educators easier! In the midst of Covid-19, as so many schools were struggling with how to engage students virtually, Interlochen was trying to keep up with the demand of their growing student base. They found that by providing online access to their classes they were actually able to amplify their audience and meet the needs of even more children looking for high-quality, creative outlets. They even began expanding into Adult education and providing opportunities for kids of all ages (young and young at heart) to interact with their world-renowned faculty. David and Sam talked about how creativity and curiosity are at the center of everything they do as they constantly use their team at the tech department to solve problems that arise for their students and staff in new and fun ways. Don't miss this inspiring conversation, and be sure to reach out to them to learn more about how you can enhance your tech department to more fully promote your school's mission!

Wendell B. Harris Jr. is an American independent filmmaker trained in drama at Interlochen and Juilliard. His family founded Prismatic Images, a multi-award-winning film/video/audio production facility in Flint, Michigan, in 1979 and he broke onto the scene by making the breakthrough Sundance smash, Chameleon Street just one year after Steven Soderbergh broke with his debut film. One of my favorite film critics, Robert Daniels joins me to talk about Chameleon Street and the reason why it was Harris' only film to date. (He has tried many times to get projects greenlit but it still hasn't happened as of this recording). Robert and I celebrate the audacity of this remarkable talent both in front of the camera and behind it. Before that, we learn about Robert's background and have a discussion on the current state of film criticism. Then later on, we preview our next conversation for next year on Charles Burnett and more! 00:00 - 41:30 - Introduction / Views on Film Criticism 41:31 - 01:34:55 - Chameleon Street / Wendall B.

SynopsisOn today's date in 1950, at the Interlochen Summer Music Camp, the Michigan All-Star Band, under the direction of Dale Harris, gave the premiere performance of a new work entitled George Washington Bridge. This music was written by the American composer William Schuman, who was experiencing an especially creative period in the early 1950's. Schuman was living in New Rochelle, New York, but as president of the Juilliard School, spent much of his time in Manhattan, and, as Schuman explained:"There are few days in the year when I do not see the George Washington Bridge. I pass it on my way to work as I drive along the Henry Hudson Parkway on the New York shore. Ever since my student days when I watched the progress of its construction, this bridge has had for me an almost human personality, and this personality is astonishingly varied, assuming different moods, depending on the time of day or night, the weather, and, of course, my own mood as I pass by… I have walked across it late at night when it was shrouded in fog, and during the brilliant sunshine hours of midday… It is difficult to imagine a more gracious welcome or dramatic entry to the great metropolis."The piece itself is in ABCBA form—a little like the rising and falling arch of a suspension bridge, in fact, and, since its 1950 premiere at Interlochen, Schuman's George Washington Bridge has won a secure place as a classic of the wind band repertory.Music Played in Today's ProgramWilliam Schuman (1910 - 1992) George Washington Bridge Rutgers Wind Ensemble; William Bertz, conductor.

We both recently headed to the Midwest for some family & friend time. Chris went to Chicago and met up with Colleen, our guest on Episodes 27 and 145. We had a browse in Women & Children First, a legendary feminist bookstore and one of Chicago's oldest indies, after which we had lunch across the street at Lady Gregory's, an Irish pub named after the legendary Irish dramatist. Chris also got to visit one of her favorite used bookstores, Frugal Muse in Darien, IL, where she found two copies of THE RED GARDEN by Alice Hoffman (it's a book on our Scarlet Summer Bingo! Card). Emily headed to Michigan to celebrate her daughter's birthday and gifted her a Little Free Library! They went on a Biblio Adventure together to Blue Vase Book Exchange in Interlochen, MI, a used bookstore with a computer inventory database (so convenient!). Emily also got to visit Bay Books in Suttons Bay, MI where she discovered the books of Viola Shipman, a local author. Shipman is actually the pen name of Wade Rouse whose grandma inspired his writing so he writes under her name. What an amazing way to honor her. We also finished a few books. Chris feels quite accomplished for having finished ULYSSES by James Joyce. Phew! As she says in the episode, it is everything that everyone has ever said it is. Emily read THE RED GARDEN by Alice Hoffman, a collection of related stories that contain a few “Easter Eggs” that'll show up in her forthcoming novel, THE INVISIBLE HOUR, which comes out in August. She also read THE BETTER HALF by Alli Frank and Asha Youmans, who will be our guests on Episode 186. As for upcoming reads and Biblio Adventures, we'll both be reading THE SCARLET LETTER by Nathaniel Hawthorne this week and are looking forward to our Biblio Adventure to Concord, MA. Reminder that our readalong discussion is on Wed, July 12, 4:30 pm ET at the Concord Public Library. If you'd like to join us in person or on the Zoom call, please email us at bookcougars@gmail.com.
