Five classical music pieces for Halloween
Celebrate the autumnal season with five spooky recordings from the archives of Interlochen Center for the Arts.
Whether you’re on Bald Mountain or in the hall of the Mountain King, join us in celebrating the strange and unusual sounds of fall with this truly spooky classical playlist.
With public domain works performed by various Interlochen student ensembles over the years, it’s the perfect soundtrack to any macabre dance this Halloween season. Are you an alum who played a particularly bone-chilling piece while at Interlochen? We want to hear about it.
