We came up for the Alison Krause concert. It was pouring rain but all the people directing traffic were smiling and cheerful. The venue is beautiful and the sound was great. Wonderful place to see a concert.

Small quaint pavilion venue. This was our second concert here. Last year Melissa Ethreidge and Jewel and this year was Wynonna. Beautiful facility, the on prem "pre-game" area overlooks the lake.

Love catching a show at Interlochen. We saw Jason Mraz this past July on the most perfect Summer day. Green Lake as a backdrop with the sun setting. Just a blast!

Interlochen Center for the Arts is an absolutely amazing place for your student to spend some or all of their high school years!  My daughter has just completed the first semester of her freshman year and we are already certain beyond any doubt that she is exactly where she is meant to be! If I could have given Interlochen 10 stars I would have, 5 isn't nearly enough.. The facilities at Interlochen are a perfect blend of their nearly 100 year history and a concerted effort in the last few years to dramatically update every 'majors' main facilities.  The older buildings are incorporated wonderfully within the campus setting and the modern buildings are gracefully situated to heighten their beauty and utility.  It all speaks to Interlochens desire to create the best learning environment possible for their students. The only thing better than the facilities on the Interlochen campus would be the faculty and staff, they are brilliant.  Having gone through the process of both applying for Summer Camp, one year virtually and the other in person, and then applying for Interlochen Center for the Arts High School, I can guarantee you will not find more helpful and knowledgeable staff anywhere.  These people know their stuff and are always willing to help, no matter how silly of a question I asked... Once my daughter started attending Interlochen for high school, and I got to meet all her educators personally, I was so impressed at how wonderful the people teaching my daughter were.  If every child could have people such as Interlochen has found, in their classrooms all across this country, this world would be a far better place!  The faculty at Interlochen deserve every one of the many accolades that are heaped on them and far better praise than I can set down here. The dorms at Interlochen are exactly that, dorms.  That is, except the newest dorms that have recently been finished which resemble an upscale apartment and are highly sought after of course though not what I would call 'dorm living'.  I think the kids that get those rooms miss out on something fundamental about the experience of dorm life, but my daughter would disagree I believe. The students at Interlochen are about as interesting a group of teenagers as I could imagine throwing together in a school setting.  They come from wildly varying backgrounds and from all over the globe, but all have one important thing in common and that is a burning desire to make art in their own special way.  I believe Interlochen Center for the Arts is the best place for them to do just that, while being taught by brilliant educators and guided by caring staff, all in an idyllic woodland setting...
