Repertoire 2021 Adult Chamber Music Camp Theme and Repertoire: “The Healing Agency of Music”This year has been like no other! A worldwide pandemic, an overdue reckoning with social and racial injustice, and an environment of abrasive politics and civil unrest, have sorely tested our hearts and minds. This summer’s timely Interlochen Adult Chamber Music Camp theme comes none-too-soon: The Healing Agency of Music.For the music profession both in performance and education, this year has been one of existential crisis. From professional orchestras to higher education, all arts organizations are searching: reevaluating their essential mission, exploring new, inclusive communication pathways to audiences, simply staying afloat, while being compelled to fiercely advocate for their relevance—their place of service in society moving forward. Even though no one can be entirely confident of where all of this will land, it is clear that music is an elemental and transformative force in the human condition, with the power to heal the mind, body and spirit. We will explore this subject based on some of the scientific research and through playing and listening to the great chamber music that refracts directly or tangentially on music as medicine. The argument will not be difficult to make that composers viewed their music in these curative terms. Our revised program will now include some topical lectures/discussions designed to enrich your artistic understanding of the many ways one can think about music. These interactive sessions will help you to become a more insightful, contributing collaborator. There will of course be plenty of time for you to play and rehearse, putting all that you learn into practice.As plans move forward to convene our camp this summer, there is particular excitement surrounding the shiny new music building! This centralized location will be an ideal facility to conveniently support many of the diverse program activities. Gathering together at Interlochen—renewing cherished friendships and warmly welcoming new players—is especially momentous this year and sounds like just the prescription that we need to rejuvenate our outlook and spirits. Music can indeed be a healing balm!
