Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen's summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to house donors and, at times, Epstein himself. Interlochen says it previously investigated his activities on campus after his first conviction and again after his 2019 arrest, claiming it found no evidence that Epstein committed crimes at the school. Still, the building has become impossible for the institution to separate from Epstein's legacy, and Interlochen's board says demolishing it is now the appropriate step.The renewed scrutiny comes after recently released Justice Department files and prior reporting showed Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell met alone with at least one student at the lodge, an encounter the woman later described as the beginning of grooming behavior. Interlochen says it does not allow unsupervised donor-student visits, but that claim only raises more questions about how Epstein and Maxwell ended up alone with a student in the first place. Michigan lawmakers have signaled plans to investigate Epstein's activities at Interlochen, while the school says it has cooperated with investigators and will respond to oversight bodies as needed. The demolition may remove the physical structure, but it does not erase the larger issue: Epstein was embedded deeply enough in elite institutions that even a children's arts camp in northern Michigan became part of the long, ugly paper trail.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interlochen to demolish lodge tied to Jeffrey Epstein | News | abc12.com

After Jeffrey Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor became public, one of the most controversial aspects of his continued influence was how he managed to maintain deep ties to elite academic institutions — particularly Harvard University. Despite being a registered sex offender, Epstein retained an office connected to Harvard through his relationship with the university's Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which had originally been established during the presidency of Lawrence Summers. Epstein had donated money to the program and continued visiting campus regularly even after his conviction, meeting with professors, scientists, and prominent intellectuals while presenting himself as a wealthy patron of science and academic research. Reports later revealed that Epstein's name was associated with office space and university access long after many institutions publicly claimed to have distanced themselves from him. Critics argued that Harvard's willingness to keep the door open to Epstein after his conviction reflected the broader culture of elite protection surrounding powerful donors, where wealth and influence often appeared to outweigh moral accountability.Another troubling element of Epstein's academic and social network involved his association with a secluded cabin property tied to the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. Epstein reportedly sponsored and maintained access to a private cabin near the campus, using it as part of his broader network of elite social spaces connected to young artists, intellectuals, and rising talent. Former associates and reporting on Epstein's movements described the cabin as one of several properties and retreat-style locations where Epstein cultivated relationships with academics, performers, scientists, and influential figures away from public scrutiny. The revelations fueled further questions about how Epstein embedded himself so deeply into elite educational and cultural institutions for years after his criminal conduct was already widely known, with critics arguing that institutions repeatedly ignored glaring warning signs because of the prestige, money, and connections Epstein brought with him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

iIt's not just college basketball Madness – the bracket busters extend into the halls of Congress where two of Donald Trump's legion of incompetents got busted over the administration's war on Iran … and on the American people.  Michigan's two Senators took part in the Homeland Security Committee's grilling of onetime MMA fighter and plumber Markwayne Mullin who is set to inherit Kristi Noem's office … presumably minus any romancing with Corey Lewandowski. Elissa Slotkin tried to get a commitment that ICE agents won't be showing up at voting precincts in November … with a response that wasn't exactly reassuring. Gary Peters reminded Mullin that it's Republicans who are voting against getting paychecks for TSA employees at airports. Peters re-emphasized what he said on last week's episode of this podcast about the growing mess at airports. Also on our poli-radar this week The Trump grift-and-grab family found another opportunity for personal enrichment. Jared Kushner, the not-a-government-employee who is taking the lead on Middle East negotiations, is simultaneously soliciting $5-billion from Middle East potentates in the form of investments in the Kushner wealth management company. In Michigan, state House Speaker MAGA Matt Hall is taking a page out of the Donald Trump Ego-Massage Manual, bragging about winning an apparently fictitious award for government transparency. The problem with the organization honoring Hall? It apparently doesn't exist. State Democrats responded by offering Hall with the equally bogus SAD Award, or Speaker's Asinine Decision Award. Oakland County hosted Vice President James Donald Bowman – or is it James David Hamel? Or is he sticking with J.D. Vance? Whatever he calls himself, the self-proclaimed Appalachian Hillbilly checked in to tell Michiganders “don't believe your eyes and ears: the economy is really just peachy.” The Jeff Epstein web of debauchery threatens to tarnish Michigan's famed Interlochen Center for the Arts, with state Democrats calling for an investigation into what they described as disturbing connections between Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell and the northern Michigan arts institution.  Donald Trump says a former living President privately supported the Middle East War and wishes he had done it, with all four former living Presidents denying that they've even talked with Trump about the war. But … we haven't heard denials yet from President Jeb Bartlet or President Frank Underwood, or the ghost of the late great Abraham Lincoln. Michigan is a national political center of attention.

We've been pulled into a few different rabbit holes this week, and it's yet again a crazy ass ride. First, we look into Epstein's ties to the Interlochen Center for the Arts summer camp in Michigan, and its infamous “Epstein Lodge”. We also learn the whistleblower's identity who worked at the jail who posted on 4Chan the night of Epstein's death (and what he said was pretty damning to say the least!). And lastly, we discuss the fact that the FBI willingly wiped the jail cell tapes to destroy all of the evidence from the night. Not sketchy at all!

Clarinetist Katia Waxman, oboist Daniel Gurevich and pianist Ya-Ju Chuang played the final movement of the Trio for Oboe, Clarinet and Piano by Bill Douglas and spoke with IPR's Amanda Sewell. These three Interlochen faculty musicians will perform with guest flutist Alisa Smith in two recitals of woodwind chamber music with piano. The program features works by Eugène Bozza, Joseph Horovitz, Claude Debussy and Bill Douglas will be held on Saturday, February 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Alluvion, part of the Interlochen in Town series. The musicians will also give an informal preview of the recital in the Music Center at Interlochen Center for the Arts on Thursday, February 26 at 7:30 p.m.

Trey Devey is President of Interlochen Center for the Arts, where he leads one of the world's most influential institutions for the education and development of young artists. Since assuming the presidency in 2017, he has guided Interlochen through a period of transformation—completing a decades-long campus plan, launching new global and online programs, and navigating the profound disruptions of the pandemic while strengthening the institution's mission and long-term sustainability. Prior to Interlochen, Trey served as President of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, and Cincinnati May Festival, where he led a financial turnaround, restored artistic capacity, and helped raise more than $225 million to secure the organization's future. In this episode, we trace Trey's journey from trombone student to consultant, orchestra executive, and president of a global arts institution—exploring the decisions that shaped him, the realities of leading through uncertainty, and his vision for educating not just exceptional artists, but citizen artists prepared to shape the future.

In the late 1990s, Jeffrey Epstein donated money to the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan, a relationship that later drew scrutiny after it was revealed he had access to a private cabin on or near the Interlochen campus. Reporting and survivor accounts indicate Epstein used the cabin while visiting the school, raising serious concerns about safeguarding and oversight, particularly given what is now known about his long-running pattern of sexual abuse of minors. At the time, Epstein was presented as a wealthy patron of the arts, and there is no evidence that Interlochen officials were publicly aware of the full scope of his criminal behavior, which had not yet been exposed.Critics argue, however, that the arrangement exemplifies how elite institutions failed to apply adequate due diligence or enforce strict boundaries when accepting money and access from powerful donors. While Interlochen has stated that it has no evidence abuse occurred on its campus and that it severed ties with Epstein once his crimes became public, the episode has continued to trouble survivors and advocates as a case study in institutional blind spots. The presence of a secluded cabin connected to Epstein, in a setting dedicated to young students, has become part of the broader reckoning over how Epstein leveraged philanthropy and cultural credibility to embed himself in environments that demanded far greater scrutiny than they received.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein donated and funded a secluded cabin—once known as the Jeffrey Epstein Scholarship Lodge—located on the campus of the Interlochen Center for the Arts, a prestigious performing arts school in northern Michigan. Epstein, a former camper himself, began supporting the school in the 1990s and reportedly stayed at the lodge for up to two weeks annually, including as late as August 2000. The cabin was used by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in at least one documented visit in 1998, supported by trial testimony and flight records.The property became a focal point in Ghislaine Maxwell's sex-trafficking trial, where accuser testimony revealed Epstein and Maxwell first approached a 14‑year‑old student between music classes at Interlochen's summer camp in 1994, leading to grooming and abuse that followed for years. In response to the scandal, Interlochen renamed the property the Green Lake Lodge, severing its formal association with Epstein.To contact me:Bobbycapucci@protonmail.comSource:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/12588528/jeffrey-epstein-ghislaine-maxwell-woodland-boarding-school-target-pupils/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Ill-Fitting Skin is layered with surreal storytelling but remains an extraordinarily realistic read, in the sense that even the most solid realities of life—and death—tend to blur and shimmer at their raw edges. The talkative bird that nests in a woman's womb is as real as the “previous tenant.” The love of a mother for her uncontrollable son is as real as the wildness that is in her too. The women of The Ill-Fitting Skin are real women—who work and grieve and create and destroy, who love and do not love, whether at the roll of the dice or because “the pages are paths, and you will have to choose among them.”Shannon Robinson's debut short story collection, The Ill-Fitting Skin, is winner of the Press 53 Award for Short Fiction (forthcoming with Press 53 in May 2024). Her writing has appeared in The Gettysburg Review, The Iowa Review, Joyland, Water-Stone Review, Nimrod, failbetter, and elsewhere. She holds an MFA in fiction from Washington University in St. Louis, and in 2011 she was the Writer-in-Residence at Interlochen Center for the Arts. Other honors include Nimrod's Katherine Anne Porter Prize for Fiction, grants from the Elizabeth George Foundation and the Canada Council for the Arts, a Hedgebrook Fellowship, a Sewanee Scholarship, and an Independent Artist Award from the Maryland Arts Council. She teaches creative writing at Johns Hopkins University and lives in Baltimore with her husband and son. www.shannonrobinson.org

Shannon Robinson's writing has appeared in The Gettysburg Review, The Iowa Review, Joyland, Nimrod, The Hopkins Review, and elsewhere.

American conductor Gerard Schwarz has led some of the world's finest orchestras for the past half-century. With 9 Emmy Awards, 14 Grammy nominations, and a catalogue of over 350 recordings, it's remarkable to consider that Gerard's illustrious journey began with a pivotal decision—leaving behind his first career as a trumpet soloist. Gerard reflects on this decision and early influences of his musical career including Szell and Bernstein, summers at Interlochen Center for the Arts, and a performance of Aida he saw at age 7. He discusses walking away from the trumpet to pursue a second career as a conductor, why he calls himself a musical traditionalist, and how the audience experience has changed over the years.Check out Gerard Schwarz on Instagram, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, or the web.Follow Speaking Soundly on Instagram.Follow David on Instagram.You can find out more about Artful Narratives Media on Instagram and the web.Photograph of Gerard Schwarz by Ben VanHouten.The Speaking Soundly theme song is composed by Joseph Saba/Stewart Winter and used by permission of Videohelper.Speaking Soundly was co-created by David Krauss and Jessica Handelman.

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!

In today's conversation, I sit down with Amy Kurzweil, the author of the new graphic memoir, Artificial: A Love Story. Artificial: A Love Story tells the story of three generations of artists whose search for meaning and connection transcends the limits of life. The story begins with the LLM generated chatbot that Amy's father, the futurist Ray Kurzweil, created out of his father's archive, but the story doesn't start and end there. Instead, the story takes us on a journey through new questions that technologies are asking about what it means to be human.  How do we relate to—and hold—our family's past? And how is technology changing what it means to remember the past? And what does it mean to know--and to love--in the age of AI? Amy Kurzweil is a New Yorker cartoonist and the author of two graphic memoirs: Flying Couch, a NYT's Editor's Choice and Kirkus “Best Memoir” of 2016, and Artificial: A Love Story, forthcoming October 2023. She was a 2021 Berlin Prize Fellow with the American Academy in Berlin, a 2019 Shearing Fellow with the Black Mountain Institute, and she's received fellowships from MacDowell, Djerassi, and elsewhere. Her work has been nominated for a Reuben Award and an Ignatz Award for “Technofeelia,” a four-part series with The Believer Magazine. Her writing, comics, and cartoons have also been published in The Verge, The New York Times Book Review, Longreads, Literary Hub, WIRED, and many other places. She's taught writing and comics at Parsons The New School for Design, The Fashion Institute of Technology, Center for Talented Youth, Interlochen Center for the Arts, in New York City Public Schools, and in many other venues, and she currently teaches a monthly cartooning class to a growing community of virtual students all over the world.

This week, we're talking to Simon Dunson, a young artist out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina who is pushing the mandolin to new and wild places. Dunson's debut jazz album, 'Chicken Bridge,' blew us away with its great playing, writing, and electric guitar effects... it's not at all what you think when you envision a "mandolin" record. Check out the opening track, 'Sydney,' here on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfUHAQivGHI During our talk, we hear how Dunson started out as a bluegrass musician but became enamored with jazz and genre-blurring musicians like Bill Frisell and Chris Thile. We talk about his time as a student at Interlochen Center for the Arts and the New England Conservatory's Jazz Studies program; the gear that he's using today (including Dunson's pedalboard and the custom pickup that he found works best on the 8-string instrument), and a lot more. It's a fun introduction to a player you'll be hearing about for years to come. Julian Lage has stated, "I am constantly knocked out by Simon's mastery as an instrumentalist, improviser, and conceptual artist."  We couldn't agree more. https://simondunson.com http://www.girouardmandolins.com This Fretboard Journal Podcast is sponsored by Peghead Nation (use the promo code FRETBOARD and get your first month free or $20 off any annual subscription); Izotope (use the coupon code FRET10 to save 10% off their plug-ins); Retrofret Vintage Guitars; and Calton Cases.
