Percy Grainger Lane: What's in a Street Name?
Advertisement
We know that internationally acclaimed pianist/composer Percy Grainger guest conducted at Interlochen’s National Music Camp in 1930 and was on summer faculty in 1937 and 1942–44. However, the extent of Grainger’s contributions to Interlochen are both surprising and forgotten.
This presentation by alumna Phyllis Weliver recovers this lost history and offers a fuller narrative about Interlochen’s pioneering role in US music history. IPR’s Music Director Amanda Sewell will host, and rare footage of Grainger at Interlochen will be shown.
This presentation will be hosted on Interlochen's campus in the Mallory-Towsley Center for Arts Leadership, Rooms 106/107. The event is free, but we do request that you register in advance:
