“Music and musical theatre have been the guiding lights of my life and professional career, both as a performer, eager to connect with audiences and listeners, and as an educator, passionate about guiding students along their own journeys of artistry. I’m thrilled to be joining Interlochen as the inaugural holder of its Musical Theatre Voice Chair.” — Jim Van Slyke, Musical Theatre Voice Chair
“You are unlocking new dimensions to Interlochen’s potential every day.”
Trey Devey
Dear Interlochen family and friends,
I’m very happy to share that Interlochen Center for the Arts has had another impressive year. Our commitment to enhancing excellence in arts education and increasing access is the focus of Interlochen’s Vision 2028. At Interlochen, there’s momentum of which we can all be proud. Thank you for your part in this success.
With your support, Interlochen partnerships with peer arts education organizations across the country flourished and expanded in places like Miami, New York, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Madison, and many other regions. Through scholarships, these collaborations are expanding access, opening doors for more young artists to come to Interlochen and transform their passion and potential into purpose.
Thanks to your philanthropy, Interlochen continues to add to the ranks of its world-class faculty, shaping that same artistic passion into purpose. Your gifts this year have established six new endowed faculty and staff chairs in: classical and jazz piano; percussion; musical theatre voice; music, production, and engineering; and student counseling. The endowments will provide an ongoing financial base for these leadership positions for generations.
And, through your support, Interlochen Public Radio continues to enjoy growth in its online listenership and retains its ability to create compelling musical programming and in-depth, region-centered journalism. IPR is winning over new audiences and winning awards, including multiple regional and national honors for journalistic excellence.
In these ways and many others, you are unlocking new dimensions to Interlochen’s potential every day. Thank you for all you make possible.
As delighted as I am by our accomplishments this year, I’m also excited by our momentum. With your ongoing commitment and support, we can reach even greater heights together.
With gratitude,
Trey Devey President
One of Interlochen’s largest-scale productions ever came to fruition this May. Capacity houses in Corson Auditorium reveled in the world premiere of Edmonia—a new opera with music and libretto written by Dr. Bill Banfield—that tells the story of the trailblazing 19th-century Black and Indigenous American sculptor Edmonia Lewis.
The opera offered a unique opportunity for collaboration. More than 150 Interlochen artists across all seven creative disciplines acted and sang on stage, played in the orchestra, assisted backstage, contributed to creative or technical production elements, wrote poetry inspired by the opera, or exhibited specially created visual artworks.
The performance drew several guest artists to campus for instruction and collaboration. Joining the cast were Interlochen Trustee and Grammy Award-winning theatre actor Sydney James Harcourt (IAA 94-97, AS 94, 97) and nationally renowned operatic soprano Amber Cierra Merritt.
Dr. Banfield was a visiting guest instructor and worked alongside jazz pianist and R&B singer Patrice Rushen. Guest conductor Julius P. Williams was at the podium; Interlochen faculty Laura Osgood Brown and Justin Lee Miller co-directed.
The impact of this collaborative production expanded beyond campus through a televised broadcast by Detroit PBS.
Edmonia was supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts and by the Foster Family Foundation for costumes and set production, which included Interlochen’s first use of a new, computerized motion-controlled system with a revolving turntable.
Additional donors who supported Interlochen’s study of the music and art of the African Diaspora, which included Edmonia and campus visits by guest artists, included Dean Anderson (IAC/NMC 63, UNIV 65, IAC St 66, 68) and Elaine Gurian, Kristin Podack, and Jerra Spence (IAC 93, IAA 94-97).
“In premiering Edmonia, we reaffirmed our commitment to generating new art and the opera of tomorrow, while also amplifying the forgotten stories of our past. The collaborative and interdisciplinary nature of this piece, featuring one of the largest casts in Interlochen Arts Academy history and a team of artistic faculty, allowed for an inspiring and enriching daily cross-pollination of ideas, genres, and expression.”
— Dr. Laura Osgood Brown, Co-Director of Edmonia and Interlochen Instructor of Voice and Opera Workshop
“I’m grateful to work with so many students on one project which brought so many different majors together on one stage.”
— Imani Makasa (IAA 22-24), who played the young Edmonia Lewis
Interlochen’s ongoing partnership with New York youth arts organizations expanded this year, solidifying this important effort to heighten the skills of talented young artists at home and at Camp.
Over the course of the year, Interlochen’s New York presence flourished. Instructors provided workshops and master classes to local arts students in the fall and spring. In March, 20 Arts Academy music and dance students collaborated with and learned from fellow young artists at our partner organizations. The experience culminated in an inspiring performance of talented ensembles at Merkin Hall in Manhattan.
Four months later, for the second summer in a row, the partnership came to campus. Thanks to a broad base of donor support, 66 students from New York youth arts organizations received scholarships to attend Camp. This support included a new endowed Camp scholarship established by Dr. Kate Levin (IAC/NMC 76-79, IAA 79-80).
Interlochen also welcomed faculty members from New York partner programs to campus during Camp. Faculty members saw their students in action and met with Interlochen faculty and staff, further deepening the collaboration. Plans are well underway to continue the many aspects of the partnership in the coming school year.
This thriving collaboration is emblematic of Interlochen’s efforts to nourish relationships with art educators, especially those in historically underserved communities, nationwide. Our success with the New York partnership is in large part due to the generous support of the Pinkerton Foundation, which has embraced the importance of collaboration among youth arts organizations.
Thanks to the Pinkerton Foundation and the support of a growing number of donors, the outlook is bright for the artistic friendship between Interlochen and young artists in New York.
“Inspiring teachers, an awesome setting, talented young people from diverse backgrounds and musical traditions, learning together and from each other. The Pinkerton Foundation is proud to support this beautiful relationship.”
— Rick Smith,
President & CEO, Pinkerton Foundation
“Interlochen is undoubtedly a magical place. You are surrounded by so much fun and talent. You get to watch yourself and everyone around you improve and accomplish such wonderful things. Thank you for giving me this extraordinary opportunity.”
— Dana (IAC 22-24), student of NYC’s Harmony Program

The President’s Award in Art—selected by President Trey Devey in consultation with our visual arts faculty—was given this year to Maggie Morris (IAA 21-24). Her work, as President Devey describes, “transforms... every environment into a narrative that invites the viewer to step into a world of imagination and insight.” Maggie turned Apollo Hall, pictured above, into a showcase of her artistry. She also transformed a Stone Hotel guest room, inviting visitors to “sleep inside a piece of art.”

This year, Christian Trimmingham (IO 21, IAC 22, IAA 22-24) became the 51st Interlochen Arts Academy student to be named a Presidential Scholar and one of only 22 young artists selected nationwide to “represent the best of our nation’s schools and inspire hope in the bright future of this country.”
Christian played the leading role of Howard Beale in Network, Claudius in Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and Frederick Douglass in Edmonia while maintaining a rigorous academic load and performing community service. He was the recipient of Interlochen’s prestigious Jim Glenn Scholarship in Shakespeare and Set Design, established by Michael Dermody (IAA 66-
68), an Emeritus Trustee and cousin of Jim (IAA 64-67, IAC/NMC 64), who passed away in 2021.
Christian’s instructor, William “Bill” Church, was also recognized as a Distinguished Teacher by the U.S. Presidential Scholars program. Bill, director of theatre and artistic director for the Interlochen Shakespeare Festival, noted, “Christian brings intelligence, energy, and talent to each opportunity. He is the perfect choice to be Interlochen’s newest Presidential Scholar, and the theatre faculty are incredibly proud of his accomplishments.”
Interlochen continues to hold the highest number of Presidential Scholars among all high schools nationwide.
“Applying and being selected for the 2024 Presidential Scholars Award has been one of the most profound and academically challenging endeavors in my young life. I could not be more honored and humbled at being selected for this unique award, and I will certainly take this important experience forward, into and beyond college.”
— Christian Trimmingham (IO 21, IAC 22, IAA 22-24)
Inspired by a “Current Events and Journalism” class, students shepherded the creation of a monthly newspaper, The Interlochen Times, which garnered national attention. DePaul University recognized the paper in its Blue Book, an annual anthology of the “best American high school writing” in poetry, short fiction, essays, and journalism. One student’s Times article was published in DePaul’s anthology—Blue Book’s highest honor.
Academy students’ written-word creativity connected them to the community outside campus. “Interlochen in Town” continued as writers showcased their storytelling and poetry at the City Opera House in nearby Traverse City. Back on campus, perspectives were broadened by visiting artists including Ilya Kaminsky, author of Dancing in Odessa, and Deb JJ Lee, the graphic novelist behind the Interlochen community read, In Limbo.
Tchaikovsky ballets headlined the year. Students staged The Nutcracker in costumes both new, from Kiev, Ukraine, and vintage, from London’s Royal Ballet. The Sleeping Beauty was the fruit of collaboration, with music performed by the Traverse City Philharmonic and TV broadcast by Detroit PBS. Dancers again donned vintage costumes— hand-embroidered tutus once worn by campers in their 1962 performance at the White House for President Kennedy—expertly re-imagined by staff of the Mallory Costume Shop (pictured above).
Visiting artist Julia Pott, an animator for Cartoon Network, helped 30 students create concepts for original animated TV shows—concepts they then pitched in-person to industry professionals who were impressed by the creativity and sophistication of the students’ ideas. Film students continued their multi-year effort to create a feature-length documentary on regenerative agriculture, a project resulting from a generous grant from and partnership with the Greenacres Foundation.
Whoop Dee Doo—a New York City-based traveling art and variety show troupe—guided and inspired students in creating a new, boundary-crossing theatrical project. From first concepts to final curtain, the show In Dust We Trust sprang to life in an accelerated timeline of just five days. Students designed and built their own set, too.
Touring brought Interlochen artistry to the world, while visiting artists brought the world of professional artistry to Interlochen. Piano students visited Kalamazoo, Michigan, to attend the prestigious Gilmore Piano Festival. Singersongwriters brought their talents to stages from faraway Los Angeles to nearby Traverse City. Back on campus, guest instructors inspired, such as pianist and motivational speaker Nicholas McCarthy and trombonist and conductor Stafford Hunter.
The technical and creative demands were high for shows Network and Cats, and students exceeded expectations with dazzling aplomb. Demand was high among a grateful public, too, as all performances of both shows sold out—as did nearly all student productions this year, from The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee to Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Seek—Don’t Hide made waves with its focus on art accessibility. The exhibition was the culmination of a five-day workshop in which seniors were challenged to create works accessible to those with disabilities. Meanwhile, juniors participated in the Concourse project by creating a series of inviting common spaces outside Bonisteel Library, each an interpretation on various themes, such as tranquility, solitude, and home, among others.
“Your steadfast generosity helps us all see the world of artistic possibilities with new clarity and insightful depths.”
John
Bogley
Dear Interlochen supporters,
Throughout the past year and in myriad ways, the power of coming together for the arts—whether to create art, support it, or revel in it—has been demonstrated through your commitment to Interlochen. Your gifts, of all sizes and kinds, are changing the Interlochen experience for the better every day. Your generosity is enabling all who encounter Interlochen to experience it together, whether with fellow artists, our world-class faculty and visiting artists, or eager audiences.
Memorable encounters have been abundant throughout the past year. There was a shared joy among performers and audiences alike at the world premiere performances of Dr. Bill Banfield’s opera Edmonia. All walked away inspired with a renewed perspective after watching an Interlochen performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, or after exploring the visual arts exhibition Seek—Don’t Hide. The same is true at IPR, whether listening to insightful, locally focused reporting or absorbing lessons in classical music on Kids Commute.
Your steadfast generosity helps us all see the world of artistic possibilities with new clarity and insightful depths—whether through music, dance, visual art, theatre, film, the written or spoken word, or other modes of expression. All flourish at Interlochen because of donor support.
Thank you for supporting Interlochen and its resonant, enriching gatherings of art-lovers and art-makers. I am in awe of what we can accomplish together.
John Bogley Vice President of Philanthropy and Engagement

As Interlochen moves closer to our centennial in 2028, we are more committed than ever to bolstering the excellence of Interlochen’s educational offerings.
Ensuring an outstanding formative experience for our young artists takes many forms: from investments in classroom, stage, and studio curricula to renovations to the classrooms, stages, and studios themselves— and from new ways to nourish the creative mind to better ways to literally feed our students, such as new dining services initiatives.
Endowment and leadership gifts enable Interlochen to achieve these improvements. As we strive for further success, we are grateful for our donors, who recognize opportunities and energize Interlochen’s momentum.
While actors dazzled on stage, philanthropic support sparked with new endowments for theatre faculty and programs.
Brooke and Duncan MacLean’s new endowment is an act both of gratitude and remembrance. Their son, Lochlan MacLean (IAA 18-20), found at Interlochen a welcoming home to deepen his love for the theatre. He impressed students and teachers alike with his kindness, intellect, and talent. Lochlan died in 2023 at the age of 22 after a two-year battle with metastatic osteosarcoma. His spirit will live on through the Lochlan MacLean “Theatre Stuff” Endowment Fund, established by Brooke and Duncan and supported generously by 130 other family members and friends.
The endowment will provide discretionary funds to elevate Interlochen theatre to new heights of expression and excellence.
Other donors also stepped up to create new endowments that will expand voice training to students; invest in sets, costumes, and other assets; and nimbly address real-time needs. And the new, endowed Stephen John Theatre Design and Production Fund will offer discretionary funds to enhance Interlochen theatre productions for generations—in honor of Stephen John, one of our outstanding theatre instructors.
“Lochlan fell in love with every aspect of the theatre at a young age. Casting, rehearsals, costumes, Shakespeare, voice, movement, directing, performance—he relished the entire process, and the people he met along the way became his chosen family. We are forever grateful to everyone at Interlochen for helping us keep his spirit and energy alive.” — Brooke MacLean
“We are delighted to partner with Interlochen for the latest in our series of book awards. Each of our awards supports an organization we hold in high esteem and puts a spotlight on important books exploring subject areas we deeply care about.”
— Lisa Pattis
At Interlochen, creativity takes many forms—including a new, donor-supported initiative about the process of creativity.
The Pattis Family Foundation Creative Arts Book Award at Interlochen, an annual competition in its inaugural year, identifies and celebrates books that offer illumination, inspiration, and fresh insights into the creative process. The award targets both fiction and nonfiction works that exemplify achievement in areas such as music, visual arts, film and new media, dance, and theatre.
Submissions for the award were received earlier this year, with a short list of finalists released in September. The author of the winning book will receive a $25,000 prize and be invited to a multi-day visiting artist residency at Interlochen and a public event in Traverse City co-hosted by the National Writers Series.
Through the vision and generosity of Lisa and Mark Pattis and the Pattis Family Foundation, each year’s winning author will join the vibrant lineup of Interlochen’s visiting artists and guest instructors who help our students along their way on The Artist’s Journey—one of Interlochen’s four core values.
With the broad array of funding opportunities that can enhance a young artist’s formative experience at Interlochen, several donors were inspired to invest in a non-traditional area: Dining Services.
With their experience as Camp and Academy parents, Interlochen Trustee Sonja Hoel Perkins and her husband Jon supported the Excellence in Dining Program Fund to have a significant impact on an essential, yet often overlooked, component of education. This new fund enables Interlochen to enhance Dining Services’ operations and staffing, improve meal variety and quality, increase the frequency of special dining events, and refurbish dining halls, including Stone Cafeteria.
“Food is so important to so many families. With Interlochen’s focus on enhancing excellence and encouraging students to increase their time on campus, having good food and a good dining experience are equally critical to students’ overall Interlochen experience.” — Sonja Hoel Perkins
Marilyn Perlman and Harry Epstein, parents of recent Interlochen Arts Academy graduate Samantha Epstein (IAC 21, IAA 21-23), also supported Dining Services through funding new food production equipment and culinary training for staff.
“Our daughter thrived at Interlochen Arts Academy, pursuing her creative passions. Food and nutrition are especially important for growing adolescents. We are delighted to support the excellent plans for improving dining services for students and the Interlochen community.”
— Marilyn Perlman
We are grateful to the donors who have given generously to establish the program endowments and named annual program funds listed below. Their gifts enable Interlochen to expand its commitments to faculty, visiting artists, educational programming, and every element of the young artist’s experience.
A program endowment can be established with a minimum gift of $50,000 or $100,000, based on the area. A minimum gift of $10,000, recurring for at least three years, can form a named annual program fund.

Drs. Deborah Oksenberg and Serge Lindner were so impressed with the experiences of their children Avrom (IAC 19, IAA 20-24) and Orly (IAA 20-22, IAC 21) in the classroom of ecology teacher Dr. Mary Ellen Newport (IAA Fac 11-24) that, upon her retirement, Deborah and Serge made an endowed gift to ensure the same quality of instruction for decades to come. The Mary Ellen Newport Experiences in Ecology Fund will expand access for all Interlochen Arts Academy students to environmental education, inspiring in future generations the same deep connection to the natural world.
“This gift is an expression of our tremendous gratitude for all that Mary Ellen has done to support environmental education at Interlochen. Her vast knowledge, compassion, and infectious curiosity inspired countless students to learn and care deeply about the natural world.” — Deborah Oksenberg
As Interlochen’s centennial approaches, we want more young artists who are offered admission to be able to say “yes” to our offer of admission. Our goal is to meet the demonstrated need of each admitted student.
This is the heart of our drive to make Interlochen a Young Artist Destination, and it’s why Access to Interlochen is one of our fundamental pillars of Vision 2028. Donors have responded to this challenge, accelerating our progress to open new doors for young artists through scholarship support.
For alumna Nancy Pollack, as for so many who have grown in artistry on our campus, Interlochen has been a family affair. Starting in the late 1950s, several generations of Pollacks enjoyed summers under the stately pines. Now, that cherished family history at Interlochen has inspired a gift that will help the next generation follow their own artistic journeys as they are drawn here.
Nancy (IAC/NMC 57-61, UNIV 62) studied piano, dance, and harp during her years at Interlochen. Her sister Marjorie Schwartz (IAC/NMC 58-63) followed her as a drama student. Nancy’s sons continued the family tradition of attending Camp together: Jonathan (IAC/NMC 81) studied cello, Samuel (IAC/NMC 81-82) clarinet.
The newly created Pollack Family Camp Scholarship is an outgrowth and extension of the Pollacks’ own Interlochen heritage, designated for students—of any arts area or division—attending Camp.
As a Canadian resident, Nancy made her gift through the Canadian Friends of Interlochen.
A generous gift from the Mallory Foundation is helping build a brighter future—literally—for Interlochen and for the young artists who are drawn here.
The Mallory Foundation, a longtime, institutional funder whose name is listed prominently throughout campus, saw the impact of creating Mallory Cottage —a modern, welcoming space for campus guests— that ultimately increases revenue to be used for student financial aid.
By extensively renovating an existing storage facility, Interlochen is creating an expanded green room with lakeside frontage, stellar
views, and space to relax. Mallory Cottage will be another draw for attracting top-tier performers with headline acts for our busy summer concert season. In other months, the cottage will accommodate visiting artists, faculty, and other campus guests as a short-term home-away-from-home.
Thanks to the Mallory Foundation, along with generous support from Interlochen Trustee
Gregg Latterman and his wife Susan, the income from rental of the Cottage supports Interlochen’s financial aid budget, thus bolstering access to Interlochen and expanding our capacity to be the destination for young artists.
“The Mallory Foundation Trustees have supported a range of projects over many years at Interlochen. Impact is important to us. Mallory Cottage shows an innovative approach to retrofitting an outdated space into a beautiful, usable one for top-class accommodations that, in turn, increase funds for more students to attend Interlochen. That’ s a win-win investment.”
— Riley Beckett, Chairman, Mallory Foundation
It would be a daunting task to fully count the ways Interlochen has impacted the family of Douglas Eicher (AS 74-77, IAA 77-78) and Bonnie Mills (IAC/NMC 68-70). Both attended Camp, Doug graduated from Academy, and decades later, both served on our Board of Trustees. All four children from their blended family are Interlochen alumni: Charlie Dennis (IAC 10-11) and Lauren (IAC 04-05), Hayley (IAC 10-11, 14), and Julie Eicher (IAC 02-04, IAA 07-08, IAC St 09). This year, their niece attended Camp! There are many Camp and Academy alumni among their extended family, too, each with their own, cherished stories to tell.
history at Interlochen—but the generous scope of their gift is anything but typical.
Their gift establishes three new endowed funds, supporting meritbased scholarships at both Academy and Camp, and operating funds for Interlochen Public Radio.
It’s perhaps no surprise that Doug and Bonnie’s recent gift to Interlochen is as multifaceted as their family
These endowments will provide permanent support for decades for both the young artists who study at Interlochen and the radio listeners who connect to Interlochen artistry and northern Michigan on IPR. After generations of their own experiences of artistic growth at Interlochen, the Eicher and Mills family has established a foundation of support for generations of artists and art-lovers—enabling transformative impact in innumerable ways that, indeed, we could never hope to count.
“I learned more in my eight weeks at Camp than I did the rest of the year. With this scholarship, I hope to pass along to a student who might not otherwise be able to come to Interlochen some of the same joy in the arts that I’ve experienced.”
— Dr. Gordon Shecket (IAC/NMC 60-66)
Since childhood, music has been among the greatest joys for Dr. Gordon Shecket (IAC/NMC 60-66). It’s no surprise that pursuing his passion for music has kept Gordon coming back to Interlochen, year after year. Now, it’s prompted him to create an endowed scholarship so that future generations may do the same.
Gordon’s first exposure to Interlochen was a series of fond, impactful summers at Camp. Over the years, while deepening his love and faculty for the bassoon, he played under guest conductor Howard Hanson and alongside world-renowned pianist Van Cliburn. He also performed Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf with narrator Luci Baines Johnson, daughter of President Lyndon Johnson.
For decades, Gordon has been drawn back to Interlochen. Whether for the Adult Chamber Music Camp or Symphonic Band Camp, Gordon has returned to Interlochen most years between 1989 and present.
In September 2023, Gordon made a generous gift via distributions from his retirement account to create the Gordon Shecket Endowed Camp Scholarship. This need-based scholarship will enable future generations to have their own transformative experiences at Interlochen.
Robert Bracken (IAC/NMC 73, IAA 73-75) and husband George Thomas Applegate have established two new, unrestricted scholarships for Interlochen Arts Academy: one in their names and the other, the Robert and Margaret Bracken Academy Scholarship, honoring Robert’s parents. Robert and George chose to give in a way that benefits Academy students both now and for generations to come. They are making annual gifts to award the scholarships right away, and a planned gift from their estate will endow the scholarships into perpetuity.
“I feel very fortunate to have had the incredible opportunity to attend Academy thanks to the support of my parents. The years at Interlochen were life-changing for me, and George and I created these scholarships so students could have their own experiences and journeys at Interlochen.”
— Robert Emslie Bracken (IAC/NMC 73, IAA 73-75)
Cate Caplin (IAC/NMC 69-71, IAC Fac 18-19) studied dance at Camp before launching an award-winning career as an actor, writer, choreographer, and director and producer of both stage and screen. Now, she and her family’s Caplin Foundation have established five new Camp scholarships, supporting campers studying music, film and new media, theatre, dance, and creative writing. The Caplin Foundation is providing funds to award annual scholarships now while building respective endowments to establish a permanent basis of support.
“It is vitally important to nurture performing artists, future audience members, and the next generation of theatre-makers. It is my hope that the Caplin Foundation’s annual grants will help foster budding talent and ignite dreams that will be all the more realized through the high-level training, mentoring, and performance opportunities made possible thanks to Interlochen’s extensive and robust programming.”
— Cate Caplin (IAC/NMC 69-71, IAC Fac 18-19)
We are grateful to the donors whose generous gifts have created or sustained these scholarships. The list below includes Camp and Academy endowed scholarships and active named annual scholarships between June 1, 2023 and May 31, 2024.
An endowed scholarship can be established with a minimum gift of $50,000 for Camp or $100,000 for Academy. For a named annual scholarship, a donor may make a $10,000 or more recurring gift for at least three years (five preferred), or a $5,000 recurring gift for at least five years, provided the scholarship is also supported and documented through the donor’s estate.

Interlochen Public Radio is off to a strong start for its seventh decade.
IPR, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023, connects the world to northern Michigan, and northern Michigan to the world, in an astonishing array of settings.
Through both FM and digital sources, fans of IPR Classical—listening from kitchens, cars, or beach blankets along the shores of Lake Michigan—connect to a millennium of classical music and a century of Interlochen artistry. Live performance broadcasts take curious ears to the Kresge Auditorium stage and into IPR’s Studio A, while shows like Kids Commute and The Interlochen Collection guide listeners into both the promising future of classical music and our own, cherished past.
Like its sister station, IPR News goes almost anywhere. Shows like Points North and The Up North Lowdown offer deep dives into northern Michigan and are also enjoyed far beyond the Great Lakes. IPR News
is turning heads all over, too, as it continues to win laurels for its carefully crafted journalism, with one national and four regional Edward R. Murrow awards in the past year and three awards from the Public Media Journalists Association (PMJA).
There’s immense potential for IPR to amplify its reach and impact. Donor and listener support for IPR means the station is here to stay, always ready to take listeners to new places. Thanks to you, IPR is present here—and all over the world.
“We want to give everyone an opportunity to experience world-class musicians up close and on people’s own turf. It has been incredible witnessing such intimate exchanges and seeing the deep impact the music has on people, often for the first time!”
— Matthew Schlomer, Artistic Director, Sound Garden Project
Classical IPR’s Sound Garden Project “plants classical music in unexpected places” throughout northern Michigan. Its featured chamber ensembles bring unique live concerts to atypical venues, sparking the joy of musical discovery with new audiences.
In the past year, the ensembles listed below have performed in spaces such as pontoon boats, bookstores, farmer’s markets, outdoor restaurants, and auto repair shop waiting rooms—in addition to IPR’s Studio A:
• Fivemind Reeds (reed quintet)
• Blue Quartet (saxophone quartet)
• Pulse (saxophone quartet)
• Kodak Quartet (string quartet)
RECENT AWARD-WINNING REPORTING FROM IPR
PUBLIC MEDIA JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION (PMJA) AWARDS
• 1st Place, Arts Feature: “Musical Mystery: Piano Turns Up in Pedestrian Tunnel” by Michael Livingston
• 1st Place, Sports Feature: Points North: “The Stone Skipping Philosopher” by Dan Wanschura
• 2nd Place, Narrative Produced
Podcast: Points North: “No Ice is Safe Ice” by Dan Wanschura
EDWARD R. MURROW AWARDS
Segments of IPR News’ podcast Points North won both national and regional Edward R. Murrow Awards, issued by the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA), in four categories:
• Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: both regional and national Murrow Awards for “Complete With His Language: Kenny Pheasant and the Great Lakes’ Original Tongue” by Dan Wanschura
• Excellence in Writing: “Rock Rehab” by Michael Livingston
• Feature Reporting: “We Got Jellyfish!” by Ellie Katz
• News Documentary: “No Ice is Safe Ice” by Dan Wanschura
SIGNAL AWARDS
An episode of Points North won twice in the 2023 Signal Awards, which “seek to honor and celebrate the people and content that raise the bar for podcasting.”
• Best Driveway Moment Podcast: “No Ice is Safe Ice” by Dan Wanschura: Silver Award and Listener’s Choice Award
Interlochen Public Radio listener and self-described “news junkie” Jane Gale knows there are stories she can hear only on IPR. IPR’s stories about the ecosystems of northern Michigan, and of the Great Lakes, place it at the vanguard of environmental journalism. That’s why Jane made a special gift to the IPR Science and Conservation Journalism Fund—while continuing her support as a monthly IPR sustainer and a member of the IPR Producer’s Circle and Interlochen’s President’s Club.
“I’m proud to support IPR and their dedication to in-depth reporting on issues that matter most to me. Whether it’s connecting me to stories with worldwide impact through their partnerships with NPR and the BBC or local stories on the environment and Indigenous history, I can rely on IPR to get it right!” — Jane Gale
For Sheri Constantin, the music she enjoys on Classical IPR—often streamed directly from the IPR app through her hearing aids—is symbiotic with the art she creates. She’s been listening since she and her husband moved to Traverse City decades ago, when she first discovered the power of Classical IPR to inspire her in her art studio. Then, as now, “when it comes in my ears, it comes out of my fingers,” she describes.
IPR’s value to Sheri and husband Steve has grown since their move to South Carolina—it provides a vital connection to their former home in the north woods. The Constantins also love that IPR, through its distinct classical and news signals, offers a constant choice between music and talk. “To us, the real gem is that we’re in control of what we feel like listening to at the time,” they say.
Steve and Sheri have committed to five years of support to IPR’s operating budget through the Annual Fund and to the IPR endowment, representing both short- and long-term investments. It’s an organic choice to give back. “I start the day with IPR in my pocket,” Sheri says. “It’s my companion.”
“It’s our turn. This gift is a way of staying connected when we aren’t actually there.” — Sheri and Steve Constantin
Steadfast donor support continues to enable superlative journalism at IPR, connecting northern Michigan to the world— and the world is taking notice. This summer, IPR News earned its first national Edward R. Murrow Award from the Radio Television Digital News Association (RTDNA) for an episode of Points North, which offers insights into the life, culture, and history of our region.
The award-winning piece, the work of Points North host and executive producer Dan Wanschura and editor Morgan Springer, is a profile of Kenny Pheasant, an instructor of Anishinaabemowin, the original, Indigenous language of the Great Lakes that is now endangered.
Philanthropy through annual, endowed, and estate gifts enables investments in staff development that, in turn, make extraordinary reporting like this possible. “Excellence takes time,” explains Peter Payette, IPR’s executive director. This national award is “testimony to the relentless efforts of the Points North team to find and tell exceptional stories”—and testimony to the donors who help IPR staff to “grow, be ambitious, and create beautiful things for our community and our world.”
Royce Ragland and Kenneth Bloem are passionate about the value of local and regional news. To help defend and preserve the northern Michigan news ecosystem they cherish, Royce and Ken support IPR annually as members of the IPR Producer’s Circle and the President’s Club.

IPR is northern Michigan’s connection to NPR and all the fascinating programs that define public radio in the U.S. We were a charter member of the NPR network and remain committed to its mission to create a more informed public.
Our flagship, award-winning podcast showcases sound-rich narrative journalism deeply rooted in the Great Lakes region. Our reporters bring you stories from Saginaw Bay to the Boundary Waters. Points North stories are heard on NPR stations from Ann Arbor to Minnesota and by podcast listeners across the country.
This podcast explores the week in northern Michigan through compelling stories, interviews with journalists and newsmakers, and an overview of statewide news. The format is friendly and inviting, creating a forum listeners feel part of.
“IPR adds so much to our quality of life every day, from its nature reports to its late-night music and all the news, stories, and classical music all day long. We appreciate the quality and integrity that IPR brings to our region and enthusiastically support their excellent programs.” — Royce Ragland
Our community radio workshop testifies to IPR’s commitment to bring more voices to public media. Through Red Pine, and our many internships and workshops, IPR helps people wield a microphone to reveal a bigger and more interesting portrait of the world around us.
Public radio stations like IPR thrive with the generous annual support of many individuals. In addition to the leadership donors listed below who made gifts of $1,000 or more, we are profoundly grateful to the 3,879 people who made gifts of a few dollars up to $1,000; these gifts represented $648,244 of IPR’s income this fiscal year (June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024).

Nearly every element of the Interlochen experience is supported by the Annual Fund.
Through donor generosity, scholarships enable students to attend Interlochen based on their financial need and merit; student tours and visiting artists broaden young artists’ horizons; and continued investments in talented faculty and improved campus facilities sustain the world-class student experience.
Arts education flourishes at Interlochen thanks to the donors who support the Annual Fund. Students’ potential is transformed into purpose, and artistry reaches new heights of creative excellence. Every day, through the Annual Fund, donors help foster the next generation of artistic leaders and turn their dreams into reality.
“I know how important Interlochen can be in young peoples’ lives,” alumnus and monthly donor Don Fairman (IAA 92-95) says, “because I’ve seen it in my own life.”
As the trumpet major, now a financial consultant, makes plans to attend his 30-year Academy reunion, Don sees the enduring impact of Interlochen in a variety of ways: from his friends to his clients to the trumpet proudly perched on a desk stand. “It’s just an awesome place,” he says.
Through Interlochen, Don formed lasting friendships and was poised for success in his career. He says, “Money management is easy compared to the challenges of an Interlochen education and the high-pressure auditions for which alumni leave campus prepared. You learn discipline at Interlochen.”
For Don, giving back to Interlochen is an organic choice. Don is an Evergreen member of our President’s Club. “It’s important for all of us to contribute to the things we believe in,” he says. “Giving back is a great joy.”
“Supporting Interlochen is like investing in a cutting-edge factory of creativity and brilliance. It’s a no-brainer.”— Don Fairman (IAA 92-95)
Camp alumna Barbara Marsh (née Wood) made a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD, from her investment retirement account to support Interlochen’s Annual Fund and Interlochen Public Radio. This is one of the many ways Barbara (IAC/ NMC 51-52) has supported Interlochen through the years. She’s been a member of the W. Clement Stone Society, President’s Club, and IPR Broadcaster’s Circle. And, she’s been a Green Vest Volunteer for more than 30 years.
“I support Interlochen because it is, and has been for generations, the sacred ground where young artists are able to develop their skills and talents. In Interlochen’s supportive environment, students shape their future lives. When we support Interlochen, we are supporting aspiring young artists and the survival of our future arts community.”
— Barbara Marsh (IAC/NMC 51-52)

Through the Heritage Society, Interlochen gratefully recognizes those who document future plans to donate, creating gifts that will be realized only after their lifetimes. These planned gifts can take many forms, such as through wills, charitable gift annuities, charitable annuity trusts, charitable remainder unitrusts, lead trusts, gifts of insurance, retirement
plans, or other arrangements, all of which can help provide for the creative growth of future generations of young artists.
For more information about becoming a Heritage Society member, please contact Kathleen Kasdorf, Director of Planned Giving, at 231.276.7637 or kathleen.kasdorf@interlochen.org.

Bart and Gail Ingraham’s support for Interlochen Public Radio was as multifaceted as their love for art itself. Gail was a professional fiber artist, specializing in quilts; Bart was a talented classical vocalist (baritone/bass), a gifted sculptor, and a passionate fan of theatre. Together, they were avid supporters of both Classical IPR and IPR News as donors and pledge drive volunteers. Their legacy gift—a planned gift to IPR—was their grandest.
After Bart’s passing in 2020 and Gail’s in 2021, a significant portion of their estate went to expanding the IPR endowment and supporting its Innovation Fund.
“The Ingrahams’ wonderful planned gift will help sustain IPR’s award-winning journalism and world-class music programming. Thanks to Bart and Gail, our listening community will continue to receive new insights into their world and new sources of daily inspiration now and for decades to come.”
— Peter Payette, IPR Executive Director
Charlene Handleman—pictured (left) with stepdaughter Julie (right) and granddaughter and 2024 Camp student Lucia (center)—has made several significant gift commitments to Interlochen this year, all of which focus on broadening student access to arts education. One of Charlene’s gifts established the Marion and David Handleman Endowed Scholarship, which will provide a permanent basis of support for Academy and Camp students. The scholarship honors her late husband David, a former Interlochen Trustee, and his first wife Marion, a lover of museums who sparked David’s interest in the arts. Charlene also committed to several planned gifts through which her estate, upon her passing, will further expand the endowment for the Handleman Scholarship.
“My entire family was profoundly impacted by my granddaughter’s experience at Camp this summer. To see her blossom and thrive was inspiring. While I created the scholarship this past year, seeing Interlochen’s impact on Lucia has inspired me to continue to support scholarships for deserving young artists at Interlochen.”— Charlene Handleman
The Heritage Society recognizes donors who have honored Interlochen with planned gifts. Heritage Society members enhance the tradition of artistic excellence at Interlochen—and broadcasting excellence at Interlochen Public Radio—by supporting future generations of artists and art-lovers, storytellers, and listeners.

It takes many hands and hearts to sustain all that Interlochen offers. On campus and around the world, volunteers participate in and support the artistry at Interlochen by giving their time. We couldn’t be more grateful.
On campus, it’s easy to identify them by the green vests they’re wearing. Throughout each year, our Green Vest Volunteers serve in numerous roles as ushers, greeting and guiding concert-goers, planting flowers, giving tours, and more. Nearly 500 members
“Supporting Interlochen with our time and resources is one of the most gratifying activities we do. Thank you for the opportunity to be both donors and volunteers.”
— Lauren and Gordon Berg
of our community donned the green vest in 2023-24, more than 60 of them first-year volunteers.
Other types of Interlochen volunteers include those who answer phones during IPR fundraising drives; sew costumes for theatre performances; support fundraising and stewardship efforts; and engage with potential students and parents at outreach events nationwide. Volunteer teams include the Campus Philanthropy Ambassadors, Student Philanthropy Team, and the Interlochen Annual Funds Committee.
There are many ways for volunteers to help artistry grow at Interlochen. One of those ways is to help the garden grow— literally—inside Interlochen’s greenhouses.
That’s what volunteers Gordon and Lauren Berg have done at our R. B. Annis Botanical Lab and Community Garden. As Green Vest Volunteers, the Bergs have given their time recently to assist in our sustainability efforts. Since 2015, they’ve volunteered more than 270 hours on campus in numerous ways.
That’s on top of the years Gordon was an employee (ICA St 07-15). And, in 2021, Gordon and Lauren increased their involvement by establishing the Berg Family Jazz Endowed Camp Scholarship.
Thanks to Gordon and Lauren’s generosity of time and treasure, creativity and environmental stewardship will continue to take root at Interlochen for decades to come.

Dr. Emita Hill has supported Interlochen artistry throughout her life. As a Green Vest Volunteer for 11 years, she’s helped with Interlochen Public Radio fundraising drives and served as an usher; she has also supported the Interlochen Annual Fund and gives monthly to IPR as a sustainer.
“I’ve been going to all the WYSO concerts since my childhood. Now, I’m 88 and still going. To my joy, a violinist grandson spent last winter at the Academy. And my radio—all my radios—are tuned to IPR all summer. How could I not be a donor and a volunteer?”
— Emita Hill
Many thanks to our fabulous volunteers! Interlochen is enriched by your dedication, enthusiasm, and tireless, multifaceted efforts to support our mission.

“I’ve leaned on Claire too many times to count over these past seven years. During challenging moments, she always led.”
— Trey Devey, Interlochen President
With both sadness and profound gratitude, we honor the life of Claire Corson Skinner (IAC/NMC 71), who passed away recently after decades of generous service to Interlochen.
Claire served on Interlochen’s Board of Trustees for seven years (2017-24). She was chair of the Audit & Risk Management Committee, vice-chair of both the Finance & Budget and the Nominating & Governance committees, and an active member of several other committees and task forces. Like her father—the late Tom Corson, a Life Trustee—Claire made an impact through her kind generosity, wise counsel, and friendship. “I’ve leaned on Claire too many times to count over these past seven years,” said Interlochen President Trey Devey. “During challenging moments, she always led.”
Motivated by her strong belief in the transformative potential of the arts in young students’ lives, Claire and her husband Jim gave deeply and repeatedly to Interlochen. Claire and the Corson Family Foundation established endowed scholarships for students and visiting artists in both dance and musical theatre; funded the construction and later renovation of Corson Auditorium; and supported the waterfront revitalization along the shore of Green Lake, including the creation of Corson Park. Claire’s ultimate gift—a planned gift through her estate—ensures her legacy even further through increased support for scholarships and visiting artists.
In these ways and more, Claire’s impact will endure for generations. We are grateful for all she gave—and, through her legacy, all she continues to give—to support journeys of artistry at Interlochen.
The Board of Trustees is the governing board of Interlochen Center for the Arts. It has fiduciary responsibility and provides oversight to guide the institution and ensure its bright future.
