The music composition program at Interlochen Summer Arts Camp involves orchestration, music theory, music history, and general composition skill lectures. Each student must submit two compositions over the six-week period, which will be performed by students and faculty within the Interlochen community. Additionally, students have four opportunities to have their pieces performed at a recital. Composition students also have the chance to meet living composers and attend performances by large ensembles/groups such as the World Youth Symphony Orchestra (WYSO), Interlochen Philharmonic (IP), World Youth Wind Symphony (WYWS), and World Youth Honors Choir (WYHC).
