Nathaniel's year at Interlochen Arts Academy....
I've always dreamed about attending Interlochen Arts Academy, and I'm so happy that became a reality my senior high school year. THANK YOU to IAA, the Kentucky Center Governor's School for the Arts, and other generous donors for making this possible. I worked hard, studying with Dr. TJ Lymenstull, making new friends, and treasuring every moment.
Let me share some of the highlights with you!
Five IAA students, including myself, performed at the Detroit Symphony Beethoven Sonata Marathon on February 7, 2013. Each of us were featured on Interlochen Public Radio in the weeks before the marathon. I played Beethoven's Sonata No. 26 in E-flat major, Op. 81a ("Les Adieux") on IPR on January 31, 2013, and also performed it at the Beethoven Sonata Marathon.
I participated as part of a piano duet accompanying the IAA choir. I'm playing on this recording from around 10:20 to 15:30.
Here I am again as part of a piano duo, accompanying a dance performance of "Giselle, Act II," beginning around 54:34 in this recording of the "Winter Whites" program in March.
One week before graduation, at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 18, 2013, I presented my senior piano recital at Dendrinos Chapel at Interlochen Arts Academy. The program included:
Bach -- Prelude & Fugue in C# minor, BWV 849 (WTC I)
Beethoven -- Sonata No. 26 in E-flat major, Op. 81a ("Les Adieux")
Chopin -- Étude in F major, Op. 10, No. 8
Chopin -- Variations Brillantes on "Je vends des scapulaires," Op. 12
Ravel -- Oiseaux tristes and Alborada del gracioso from Miroirs
