Hooray...but no really.. that's not even close to why I am this excited..
Every summer at Interlochen, one of my most favorite things to do is to take a morning walk on main campus after breakfast and all my morning activities/rehearsals/duties are completed. The smell of the fresh morning dew being lifted off of the grass and trees by the warm northern Michigan sun, the smell of delicious coffee brewing at the coffee tent, and yes, even the smell of the musty Maddy Building is quite comforting. All these smells come together in a plethora of senses with memories that accompany them, but what makes the whole morning absolutely beautiful is the music that can be heard from Kresge. Even though the music is just rehearsals of the various high school ensembles, they all sound fantastic because....well...because it's Interlochen of course.
Why I am so excited today (and for the next 7 weeks) is because of the repertoire that is scheduled to be performed this summer. There are four high school ensembles: The World Youth Symphony Orchestra (A.K.A WYSO), The Interlochen Philharmonic, The World Youth Wind Symphony, and the Interlochen Symphony Band.
If you are musically inclined, or have any knowledge of classical music at all, you will see why I am so excited for this summer.. here is the complete repertoire list for all the high school groups this summer:
