Tritone Adds a Third Camp for Summer 2012

A Tritone Jazz Fantasy Camp will become a part of Interlochen's outstanding curriculum in June 2012.

We’re delighted to announce a brand-new Tritone camp this summer.

We’ll be in residence from June 17-22 at the legendary Interlochen Center for the Arts in Interlochen, Michigan. Our other two camps, Tritone Cool on the Lake (Baileys Harbor, WI) will run from July 8-13, and Jazz at Naz (Rochester, NY) will run from July 22-27.

Interlochen has been providing quality education for children and adults since 1928, but Tritone will be the organization’s first jazz camp designed specifically for adult players and singers.

The Tritone at Interlochen faculty consists of both the familiar and the new, in keeping with our policy of offering fresh combinations of first-rate player/teachers at every camp.

The new include Bill Carrothers (piano),  Jim Fox (guitar), Jose Encarnacion (reeds) and Jim Pugh on trombone.

The familiar include Darmon Meader (voice), and Clay Jenkins (trumpet) who knocked them out at Jazz at Naz last summer; Steve Houghton (drums), who did a spectacular job with Bjorklunden campers a few years back; and the ever-popular Ike Sturm (bass).

Interlochen offers yet another opportunity for an outstanding experience in a beautiful location, where jazzers can spend their days immersed in the music we love and their families can take advantage of a wide range of activities in and around the lovely town of Traverse City.

  1. Wow this sounds like a great merging. Interlochen and Tritone Jazz Camp. How many different slots will be available for the different instruments? Thanks for posting this.

      Right now there’s plenty of room for all instruments at Interlochen, but we always cut off enrollment to avoid overcrowding, ensuring personalized attention. For example, at this point there are two pianists and we’ll probably accept only three more. Thanks very much for your interest.
