This year’s Chapman Stick Retreat will be the eighth biennial event at Interlochen beginning back in 2009. The retreat will include instruction and inspiration for players of the Stick, the two-handed tapping electric instrument created by Emmett Chapman. Master performers and teachers of the Stick, Don Schiff and Tom Griesgraber, will lead technique classes and will perform in concert on the first night. Hands-on sessions throughout the retreat will inspire and support beginners and intermediate to advanced players, while a closing session on the final day will offer all participants a chance to play together. Gain valuable skills and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow Stick players from around the country.
