Envision Interlochen at 100

The artistic teachers are so fantastic, and

I feel so lucky to be studying with them.

Specifically, my voice teacher Lisa Sanderson

and my director Matt Lindstrom are absolutely

amazing teachers and also great people to go to,

no matter what the issue is.

— Emma K. (IAA 24-25), Theatre

Interlochen parents and leadership donors, Trustee Emeritus Bill and Linda Nelson were so moved by the transformative experiences of their daughter Carly (IAC 02, IAA 05-07, IAC St 13-14, 17) in the harp studio of teacher Joan Raeburn Holland that they were inspired to establish an endowed faculty chair in harp, ensuring harp instruction of this exceptional caliber and influence. The inaugural holder of the Nelson Family Harp Chair is Joan Holland herself, who has taught harp at Camp and Academy since 1978.

The endowed support of the Marjorie Wood Drackett Piano Chair ensures that the world-class rigor and multifaceted opportunities of Interlochen’s piano studio will continue for future generations of budding young pianists. Its endowment was established by Marjorie Drackett’s children, in loving memory of their mother’s fondness and aptitude for the piano and her passion for arts education. The first teacher to hold the chair is Dr. Kara Huber.
