Greenwood Music Camp: 75th Anniversary Year

“We felt the students' enthusiasm for good music of every kind even in the energy at dinner before the concert … The strongest memory of that evening lies in the silences we felt between movements. The way the students were listening was overwhelming, the intensity of their quietness almost terrifying. As a camper I remember the way each performance at Greenwood changed my life, whether it was a concert of peers or an outside group … The spirit of Greenwood inspired us that night to play with a renewed inventiveness …”
