In 1928, with 115 students and a borrowed $115,000, music professor Joseph E. Maddy founded the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan. It won immediate and continuing critical acclaim from leading educators, composers, and conductors for the quality of its musical instruction.
Today the world-renowned Interlochen Center for the Arts is a thriving, 1200 acre, year-round arts campus consisting of both the National Music Camp in the summer and the Interlochen Arts Academy during the school year.
To commemorate the centennial of the birth of Joe Maddy, as well as the twenty-fifth year since his death, Norma Lee Browning has collected stories about Interlochen's founder.
