Diana Wyenn is the creative director for Interlochen's Imagine US: Celebrating America at 250 tour.

Wyenn recently spoke with Classical IPR about her vision for the upcoming Imagine US: Celebrating America at 250 tour and how the program is bringing together all of Interlochen's arts areas to celebrate the past, present and future of the United States.

The tour program includes the premiere of a new cello concerto, composed by Wynton Marsalis. The students are also performing the Symphony no. 4 by Charles Ives and RE|Member, a work by Reena Esmail.

All of these pieces are woven together with multidisciplinary elements, presented by students called "devisors."

In her role as creative director for the tour, Wyenn helped shape the program and worked with Interlochen Arts Academy students to create the multidisciplinary content linking the pieces of music.

Interlochen Arts Academy's Imagine US: Celebrating America at 250 tour begins Saturday, March 7, 2026 in Interlochen with additional stops in Detroit, Philadelphia and Boston.
