Keyboardist Solomon Miller will join students from around the globe, acclaimed faculty, and celebrated guest artists on Interlochen’s scenic northern Michigan campus for a summer of artistic transformation.
Solomon Miller, 15, of Santa Rosa Beach will attend Interlochen Arts Camp, the nation’s premier summer arts program for aspiring artists in grades 3-12, this summer. Solomon, the son of Adam and Tracy Miller, will study keyboards as part of the Popular Music Performance camp at Interlochen.
Solomon is a freshman at Seacoast Collegiate High School and has been playing the piano for the past 2 years. He loved playing keyboard for the band program at the Seaside Neighborhood School and is currently part of the Jazz Ensemble at South Walton High School. Solomon has been lucky to be instructed by local musicians Max McCann and Cam Ray and loves jamming anytime he gets an opportunity. His first original single, “Just Ignore It,” will be released on Spotify on April 17. Music is his true passion and Solomon is looking forward to attending Interlochen this summer.
Artistic students ages 8-18 from around the world convene at Interlochen to expand their capacity in music, theatre, dance, creative writing, visual arts, interdisciplinary arts, and film. Through daily classes and frequent performance opportunities, Interlochen students explore the full breadth of the arts, pursue creative breakthroughs, and forge lifelong cross-cultural friendships. Immersed in a multidisciplinary artistic environment, young creatives find reflection, rejuvenation, and inspiration on Interlochen’s pristine, 1,200-acre wooded campus.
“We are excited to welcome students to the 97th season of Interlochen Arts Camp,” said Trey Devey, President of Interlochen Center for the Arts. “It is truly thrilling to witness the remarkable growth that takes place at Interlochen as students discover their potential, take their talent to the next level, and share what they’ve learned with their family and friends.”
Founded in 1928, Interlochen Arts Camp has been at the forefront of arts education for nearly a century. The Camp’s global alumni community encompasses creative leaders in the arts and many other fields, including singers Norah Jones, Josh Groban, and Rufus Wainwright; Martha Graham Dance Company Artistic Director Janet Eilber; painter Laura Owens; New York Times theatre critic Jesse Green; Google co-founder Larry Page; Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Mary Oliver; Olympic ice dancer Naomi Lang Strong; actor Anthony Rapp; and cartoonist Cathy Guisewite, among many others. Approximately 13% of the nation’s professional orchestra musicians have roots at Interlochen, and alumni of Interlochen’s programs have been awarded more than 140 Grammy Awards.
In addition to hundreds of performances and presentations by young artists, Interlochen brings leading artists to its northern Michigan campus each summer as part of the Interlochen Arts Festival. Recent guests include Reba McEntire, Diana Ross, Chick Corea, The Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Lady Antebellum, Harry Connick Jr., and many more.
