2012 Annual Report

“Moments” 

by Christina Stella (Interlochen Arts Camp 2011) 

Letter from the President, Jeffrey S. Kimpton 

www.interlochen.org/moments 

Welcome to an artistic sphere that ceaselessly turns, 

where nights pass above us so slowly 

and morning’s air, soaked in light, 

wakes the earth, ready to create. 

There is nothing so sweet 

to the young heart as lending itself 

to moments. 

We cradle the seconds caught like moths between our fingers, 

pierced by the song of the human spirit. 

Open, and listen 

to the lungs of a symphony, stitched together 

note by note, 

feel the arches of feet curve, the rippling body. 

Here, our artistic playground where laughter calls like bells 

through the breezes, 

where hands mold thoughts 

that fester within us, 

where dreams happen anywhere; 

against the lights of a stage 

in the faces of friends, sharing 

their youth like water, 

in a moment of solace beside the lake. 

We take these as memories; 

in this place, we are people who see the journey of art 

through thick silences of thought 

an image coming to life 

the characters of the ages revisited and relived 

under the Pine and promise of Interlochen. 

To Our Friends and Partners: 

On behalf of the trustees and staff of Interlochen Center for the Arts, I am pleased to share this annual 

report for fiscal year 2012 ( June 1, 2011 – May 31, 2012). 

This was a milestone year for Interlochen, as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of our high school Arts 

Academy with national tours and an all-school reunion that brought nearly 1,000 alumni back to campus. 

We reflected on the past, rejoiced in the present and began an ongoing dialogue about the future – a 

future that is bringing dramatic changes to the arts, creativity and learning. 

Interlochen has always been an institution intent on looking ahead. We were founded on the belief that 

young men and women, given the opportunity, were capable of extraordinary artistry. Now in our 85th 

year of operation, that belief has been reaffirmed many times over. What began in 1928 as a summer program 

for high school orchestra musicians has expanded to include every art form, encompass artists of all ages 

and enrich the community through concerts, radio and the web. We’ve increased our connection to the 

world around us through new technology, and consistently sought new opportunities to broaden the 

vision of what is possible in the arts. Interlochen is reaching more people in more ways than ever before. 

More than just documenting the financial health of the organization, the numbers in this report describe 

a remarkably vibrant community – a community of students and teachers, parents, alumni, patrons, 

performers, broadcasters, listeners, donors and friends. The strength of Interlochen is reflected in the 

number of individuals who share the values this institution champions, who believe that world-class arts 

education, outstanding performances and award-winning public radio enhance the quality of life. 

It takes an extraordinary community to make Interlochen possible. Thank you for caring about the future of 

the arts. We are fortunate indeed to celebrate the many achievements made possible through your generosity. 

With deep gratitude and appreciation, 

Jeffrey S. Kimpton 

President

“The Interlochen legacy 

is not the archives ... 

The Interlochen legacy is 

a legacy of launch – 

of propulsion – 

of bequeathing to each new 

group of graduates an 

approach to the future.” 

– Janet Eilber (Class of 1969) 

Academy alumna Janet Eilber 

gave the 2012 Commencement 

address – 43 years after giving the 

Valedictory speech at her own 

IAA graduation. Janet has been 

artistic director of the Martha 

Graham Center for Contemporary 

Dance since 2005 and is a Trustee 

Emeritus of Interlochen.

New Camp Scholarship 

Gets Help from OK Go 

77 entries. 24,000 votes. 

One winner. Oboist Camille 

Walker of Oregon was the 

winner of the 2012 Sound 

Check scholarship competition, 

a video contest hosted on 

Interlochen’s Facebook Page. 

The prize was a full scholarship 

to Camp, made possible 

through the support of the 

President’s Corporate Council 

at Interlochen. To announce the 

contest, Interlochen turned to 

a pair of Arts Camp alumni 

who have had a little success 

in posting their own musical 

performances online: Tim 

Nordwind and Damian Kulash, 

of the Grammy Awardwinning 

band OK Go. 

“I think of all music as existing in the 

substance of the air itself. It is the composer’s 

task to order and make sense of sound, in time 

and space, to communicate something about 

being alive through music.” 

– Libby Larsen (Composer-in-Residence, Camp 2011)

Arts Academy Parents and 

Alumni Give Back 

Anniversary 

Arts Arts Academy 50th 

Nearly 1,000 Interlochen Arts Academy alumni returned to campus in 

May to celebrate the Academy’s 50th Anniversary Reunion 

Zachary Coffey (Post-Grad 2010) 

Peter Erskine (Class of 1971) 

John Lindenau (IAA Faculty 1967-88) 

Dave Sporny (IAA Faculty 1966-82) 

The reunion weekend included a special 50th 

Anniversary “Collage,” featuring current students 

and alumni guests. 

Alexandra Silber (Class of 2001) 

In honor of the Arts Academy’s 50th anniversary, several former students and parents pledged 

to match new or increased gifts to the Interlochen Fund from alumni, current and former 

parents, and grandparents – with the goal of raising $150,000 in new revenue. Thanks to the 

wonderful generosity of the IAA community, we far exceeded that initial goal. Gifts from IAA 

parents and alumni were up by more than $197,000 – exceeding $700,000 and representing 

a 39% increase over the previous year. The number of alumni donors increased by 24%. That 

translated into more money for student scholarships this fall! 

The following donors provided the generous challenge funds: 

Keith (Class of 1976) and Toshi Baum 

Elizabeth R. Bramwell (Parent) 

Andrew Cordonnier (Class of 1981) 

Susan Falls Fegley (Class of 1964) 

Mark and Barbara Gerson (Parents) 

Tom and Ruth Hamilton (Parents) 

J.J. Leeds (Class of 1971) and Andrea L. 

Aranson (Class of 1965) 

John McGarry (Class of 1984) 

John and Mary Melvin (Grandparents) 

Larry and Jane Solomon (Parents) 

Sarah Laverne Titus (Class of 1982) 

Diane Holcomb Wilshere (Class of 1979) 

Naomi Yoelin (Class of 1969) 

Thank you to everyone who supported the challenge – 

every gift strengthens the Academy and helps more students 

benefit from an Interlochen education.

Interlochen College of Creative Arts 

Interlochen’s College of Creative Arts provides a lifetime of enrichment, creativity and professional 

growth for adults 18 years or older. Now in its eighth year, the program offers workshops and 

classes in a variety of disciplines, including music, creative writing and visual arts. 

Interlochen’s Adult Band Camp was highlighted in the travel section of USA Today. 

Interlochen Presents 

More than 140,000 patrons attended a performance at Interlochen over the 

course of the year. The 2011 Summer Arts Festival kicked off with a live nationwide 

radio broadcast of Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion, and continued 

with capacity crowds for Steely Dan, Chicago, The Beach Boys and more. 

Among the artists making their Interlochen debut were jazz-rock superstars 

Steely Dan, country sensation Dierks Bentley, the dynamic dance company 

Trey McIntyre Project, folk-rockers The Decemberists and Grammy-winning 

singer-songwriters Elvis Costello and Lucinda Williams. 

Prominent alumni performers included Bruce Johnston (The Beach Boys), violinist 

Zach De Pue (Time for Three) and singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright. In 

addition to performing, many guest artists offered master classes and extended 

residencies with Interlochen students.

Sound Management: Interlochen Earns a 4-Star 

Rating from Charity Navigator 

Sound fiscal management practices and commitment to accountability and transparency have earned 

Interlochen Center for the Arts a 4-star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent 

charity evaluator. 

Since 2002, using data-driven analysis, Charity Navigator has awarded only the most fiscally responsible 

organizations a 4-star rating. In 2011, Charity Navigator added a second dimension of Accountability 

and Transparency (A&T) to its rating methodology, and now reviews 17 governance and ethical 

practices as well as measures of openness, providing information on its web site for each of the charities 

it evaluates. The A&T metrics, which account for 50 percent of a charity’s overall rating, reveal which 

charities have “best practices” that minimize the chance of unethical activities and whether they freely 

share basic information about their organization with their donors and other stakeholders. Receiving 

four out of a possible four stars indicates that Interlochen adheres to good governance and consistently 

executes its mission in a fiscally responsible way. 

“Interlochen Center for the Arts’ coveted 4-star rating puts 

it in a very select group of high-performing charities,” according 

to Ken Berger, President and CEO of Charity Navigator. 

“Interlochen supporters should feel much more confident 

that their hard-earned dollars are being used efficiently 

and responsibly when it acquires such a high rating.”

the Interlochen Fund, which provides scholarship assistance to 

deserving students from across the globe. Gifts to our endowment 

add to the long-term stability of Interlochen, while gifts to 

capital and restricted projects, including Interlochen Public 

Radio, help to strengthen our many programs and the facilities 

they rely upon.

Donors contributed a total of $2,381,263 

to the Interlochen Fund in fiscal year 2012, 

an increase of 7.2% over the previous year. 

Support comes from a variety of sources, 

including thousands of individual gifts 

from alumni, parents and friends. Government 

support (an $8,500 grant from the 

Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural 

Affairs) accounted for less than half of one 

percent of Interlochen Fund contributions. 

Artistic talent – not financial means – is the common denominator among 

Interlochen students. Our high school Academy students come from families 

with an average household income of $82,250. With Academy tuition 

exceeding $48,000, our capacity to provide financial support is critical to 

our ability to sustain a diverse and talented student body. Thanks to the 

generosity of individuals who support our scholarship program, Interlochen 

was able to provide financial assistance to more than 80% of our 

Academy students last year. By comparison, according to the most recent 

survey of the National Association of Independent Schools, most independent 

schools provide financial aid to only 30% of their students. 

The need for financial assistance has grown dramatically over the last five 

years. Last year, Interlochen awarded a record $10.9 million in scholarships 

and financial aid to our students. A central component of that effort is our 

annual giving program, the Interlochen Fund.

Interlochen investments/funds under management 

have increased more than 160% over the past 10 years. 

The continued growth of our endowment will be a key 

component of Interlochen’s future success. Endowment 

funds help balance the cash flow of the organization, 

providing an ongoing source of funds to support financial 

aid and other operational needs – including guest 

artists, capital improvement projects and preservation 

of our aging facilities. 

By policy of the Board of Trustees, 4.5% of our 

endowment is returned to Interlochen to support 

the needs of the institution. This policy is designed 

to allow the endowment to grow at a rate equal to or 

greater than the rate of inflation. 

Endowed scholarship funds are central to our financial 

aid program. Interlochen currently benefits from more 

than 200 endowed student scholarships that help ensure 

the very best students are provided unfettered access 

to Interlochen regardless of financial status. Donors can 

establish an endowed Camp or Academy scholarship 

with a commitment of $50,000 or $75,000, respectively. 

By designating endowment gifts for scholarships, 

donors can permanently support a facet of Interlochen 

that is most dear to them. 

To fully fund our financial aid program at its current 

level, Interlochen would need $242 million in endowed 

scholarship funds.

Understanding Our Operations: 


Winter Storm 

Tests Interlochen’s 

Generator System 

Interlochen’s emergency generator 

system was put to the test in 

early March, when a late-winter 

weekend storm with near blizzard 

conditions hit northern 

Michigan – dropping more 

than 18 inches of snow on 

Interlochen. The heavy, wet 

snow downed tree limbs and 

caused power outages throughout 

the region. More than 147,000 

residents in northern Michigan 

were reported to be without 

power and a state of emergency 

was declared in Benzie, Leelanau 

and Grand Traverse Counties. 

Our students, faculty and staff 

on campus were safe and sound, 

as Interlochen’s generators kicked 

on and handled the load. The 

generator system, comprised 

of four units with 1,000 gallon 

tanks each, was installed in 

2008 and provides enough 

power to keep the campus running 

mid-summer when there 

are hundreds of buildings in 

use and more than 2,000 people 

living on the grounds.

Interlochen Shakespeare Festival gets a new home 

Interlochen’s professional theatre company performed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” 

in the Upton-Morley Pavilion, using outdoor seating to evoke an open-air theatre of 

the Elizabethan era. The new 350-seat venue doubles the audience capacity for the 

Shakespeare performances, which were previously held in the Harvey Theatre. Completed 

in summer 2011, the 8,400 square foot pavilion incorporates modern lighting, 

sound, flooring and backstage facilities – making it a first-rate performance venue for 

theatre, dance and music presentations. 

Visual artists enjoy new studio space 

The multipurpose, 2,400 square-foot John and Joan Herlitz Visual Arts 

Studios were completed this spring and dedicated in July. 

IPR News Radio began broadcasting from Harbor Springs in May 2011, 

completing an expansion project that has tripled the coverage area for 

Interlochen Public Radio’s award-winning news service. Interlochen 

now owns and operates six stations in northern Michigan, offering 

classical music on 88.7 FM, Interlochen; 88.5 FM, Mackinaw City and 

100.9 FM, East Jordan/Charlevoix and a 24-hour news and information 

service on 91.5 FM, Traverse City; 89.7 FM, Manistee/Ludington and 

90.1 FM, Harbor Springs/Petoskey. In addition, an increasing number 

of listeners from around the world stream the station online. 

Increasing coverage helped engage a wider donor base for the listenersupported 

broadcast service, with more than 4,400 households supporting 

IPR in fiscal year 2012 – an increase of 5% over the previous year. 

IPR Mobile App 

Interlochen Public Radio now has a mobile app, allowing iPhone, iPad and 

iPod users to stream Classical IPR and IPR News Radio wherever they have 

a data connection. The app also allows users to visit the IPR website, read 

local stories and connect with IPR’s Facebook page. To download and 

install the free app, search “interlochen public radio” in the iTunes store, or 

visit ipr.interlochen.org. A version for Android devices will be available soon.

Making Dreams Feel Possible 

How does a young violinist and visual artist from Bloomfield 

Hills, Michigan, grow up to become a writer on one of the 

top crime dramas on network television? He starts out 

by spending four summers at Interlochen Arts Camp, 

surrounded by creative peers and supportive adults who 

help him believe that he really can pursue a life in the arts. 

For camp alumnus Dave Kalstein (IAC 88-90, 93), that’s 

exactly how it started. 

Dave first arrived at camp as an 11-year-old Junior, toting 

his violin case. In subsequent summers, he switched his 

Dave Kalstein (IAC 88-90, 93) 

focus to visual arts. At that time, there wasn’t a creative 

writing program at camp, but the Interlochen community nonetheless encouraged 

Dave’s developing interest in writing. “It was a place where I could read my poetry to 

other kids and they wouldn’t laugh at me,” Dave says. “It was a place where I could try 

out stories on my peers and they’d give me critique. We didn’t know we were workshopping 

writing because we were only 13 years old, but that’s what we were doing.” 

For Dave, it was the culture of Interlochen that made the difference. “Interlochen 

made me believe that I could pursue something creative for a living, and it made 

me believe that there were people like me out there.” He went on to pursue writing 

for a living, first in the magazine world in New York and then in Hollywood as a 

scriptwriter and novelist. Today he’s a writer/producer for NCIS: Los Angeles. 

Dave recently established the Dave Kalstein Scholarship to help a high school 

camper study creative writing at Interlochen Arts Camp each summer. He thought 

about naming the scholarship after his parents or someone else who has helped him 

along the path to success but decided instead that it was important for the recipient 

to know his story, that out there in Hollywood “there’s a guy named Dave Kalstein, 

and one day, long ago, he was just like you.” He understands that for many young 

artists the idea of pursuing their dream of a life in the arts seems like a fantasy. “Ask 

anyone who does something in the arts for a living,” Dave says, “and they’ll all be 

able to identify a moment when the dream started to feel real to them. Interlochen 

is where that happened for me.” With the Dave Kalstein Scholarship, Dave hopes to 

make that moment possible for other young writers at Interlochen.

“Find what you love and support it” 

Interlochen Volunteers Make an Impact 

Sarah Titus (IAA 80-82, IAC Staff 81-82) first stepped onto the Interlochen campus in the fall of 1980, 

excited to begin her junior year at Interlochen Arts Academy. She quickly realized she had become a part of 

something special: a loving, supportive environment, full of the arts. 

“I felt very loved there, and it wasn’t just one teacher – it was everyone,” Sarah 

recalls of her time at the Academy. “They cared about how I was doing.” 

Each year, Interlochen Center for the Arts is privileged to have a dedicated group of volunteers ... 

ushering at concerts, staffing the information booth, leading campus tours, working in the costume 

and scene shops, planting flowers, assisting in the office and helping with many other tasks. From June 

2011 through May 2012, a total of 395 volunteers donated their talents to Interlochen – contributing 

more than 15,000 total hours. This represents an estimated cost savings of more than $150,000! 

A violinist from Dallas, Texas, Sarah found out about Interlochen when her violin 

teacher, running late for a lesson, gave her a copy of the Interlochen catalogue to 

pass the time. It landed in her lap at just the right moment. She had been unhappy 

in her public school, and her parents had already enrolled her in a boarding school 

closer to home. “I was already being measured for the plaid skirt,” Sarah says, “but 

when I opened the catalogue and saw the knickers, I went home and said, ‘I’m going 

to Interlochen.’” It was a perfect fit. 

Sarah knows that Interlochen continues to be a perfect fit for young artists today, 

many of whom wouldn’t be able to attend Interlochen without scholarship support. 

To make the Interlochen Arts Academy experience possible for even more 

students, this year Sarah established the Sarah L. Titus and Tilda Morris Endowed Academy Scholarship. 

Sarah Titus (IAA 80-82, IAC Staff 81-82) 

Sarah made the decision to become an Interlochen donor before she graduated from the Academy. “It 

just was part of my upbringing to support the arts. It was ingrained in me from a young age, without 

words,” Sarah explains, noting that she saw her parents contributing to Interlochen even as they paid 

tuition. Her parents used to tell her, “Find what you love, what you’re passionate about, and support it.” 

A pew in Dendrinos Chapel has a plaque engraved with her name to remind her of her family’s commitment 

to giving back. She began making regular contributions herself soon after graduation and has 

looked for opportunities to increase her commitment over the years. 

Sarah and her partner, fellow Academy alumna Tilda Morris (IAA 81-82), returned to campus in May for the 

Academy’s 50th anniversary celebration. Taking her place amongst the violins on the Kresge stage as part of 

the student-alumni string orchestra that performed during collage, she once again experienced the embrace 

of Interlochen. Describing the time rehearsing and performing together with current students and dozens of 

alumni from all decades of the Academy, she says, “We were strangers, but we sat down together and it was 

like we were one orchestra.” 

With her decision to establish a named endowed scholarship this year, Sarah helps ensure that students 

will find their place at Interlochen for years to come. “I’m just happy to be a part of it,” she says. 

Thank you volunteers!

Lee Wick Dennison 

Remembering Interlochen Trustee Lee Wick Dennison: 

A Lifetime Commitment to the Arts 

Lee Wick Dennison of Chevy Chase, Maryland, Youngstown, Ohio and Traverse City, 

Michigan, died peacefully at Munson Hospice House on Friday, August 31, 2012, after a 

brief illness. She was 60 years old. 

Born June 2, 1952 in Youngstown, Ohio, Lee attended Interlochen Arts Camp in 1966-67 and 

was a 1970 graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy, where she studied piano. She attended Lake 

Erie College and Oxford University, graduating with a B.A. in music history, and received 

an M.S. in Accounting from Georgetown University. She was a Certified Public Accountant. 

Lee began a lifelong career with the National Endowment for the Arts in 1975. She served 

in a variety of increasingly important positions including Director, Organizational Capacity. She knew more 

than anyone about the inner workings of arts organizations throughout this country and cared passionately 

about them all. In 1988 and 1999 she received the Distinguished Service Award, the highest award offered 

by the NEA. In 1991 she was named a Senior Executive Fellow at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, 

Harvard University. She was a member of the Class of 1998, Leadership America, a national women’s leadership 

organization. Following her retirement from the NEA in 2004, she served on the boards of the Religious Society 

of Friends in Bethesda, Maryland, the MARPAT Foundation and Interlochen Center for the Arts. 

Lee traveled widely throughout the United States, Central America, Latvia, Europe and beyond, and also 

enjoyed turning her small, nondescript early 20th century carriage house into a beautifully renovated gem 

in the heart of Chevy Chase, MD. She was a two-time participant of the Washington, DC Avon Walk for 

Breast Cancer, walking 60 miles to raise funds for Breast Cancer research. 

As a former camper and Academy student, Lee was keenly interested in helping enrich the experience of 

Interlochen students, especially when it came to recreation and wellness. She was the primary supporter in 

getting a campus ropes course established in the late 1990s, and she would see to it that very simple things 

were available … such as apples for every dorm throughout the year. 

Thank You 

She was one of the initial supporters and champions when revered IAA faculty member Howard Hintze 

retired and Interlochen was establishing an endowed fund in his honor. Her support for the Tally Thomas 

Commons in the Aaron and Helen L. DeRoy Center for Film Studies was Lee’s way of providing an area for 

students to congregate and socialize in a “student union” type setting. 

“We already miss her wit, charm, advocacy and unselfish commitment to our institution,” said Beth Stoner, 

Interlochen Associate Vice President for Advancement. Lee will be remembered for her devotion to the 

arts, many social causes for which she cared deeply, her extensive exotic world travels, her laugh and wit, her 

insatiable curiosity, and her steadfast devotion to lifelong friends who were her family.
