Interlochen Arts

We went to a concert at the Interlochen Arts Center. Three amazing musicians joined together to make some original music. The group does not have a name but goes by the musician's names. Bela Fleck-banjo, Zakir Hussain-tabla (percussion) and Edgar Meyer-double bass. The concert takes place on the campus of the Interlochen Arts Camps. Kids who are studying music were all over the campus. We talked with four delightful students who are aspiring artists. They are 4 of 2,500 who will be at the camp this summer. This is where they come from and what they are studying: Chicago-theater, Peru-opera, Florida-dance, Michigan-opera.
