[6] In 1972, Conant performed with an Interlochen ensemble at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.; the program included Glinka's Overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla, Bartok's 2nd Piano Concerto, Barber's Symphony No.

[11][12] Conant has drawn attention to the substantial rise in tuition fees needed to attend the Interlochen Arts Academy, which in 2024 stand at $76,500 a year for boarders compared to around $5000 in the late 1960s.

[13] Additionally, Conant acquired an art diploma from the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, studying with Branimir Slokov.

The company have produced 12 major works and published their scores openly on their website: Conant's auditions were blind, with musicians and the selection committee separated by a screen.

[25] The court ruled in favour of Conant on 29 March 1984, citing:“The suit is permissible because the change in work assignments, due to the lack of a substantiated argument, is unjustified.” “The accused has not justified their demotion with facts, but rather generalized value judgments.” “Above and beyond that, they do not say when (date) the alleged mistakes happened.

In addition to their own works, the studio has hosted readings, presentations and concerts from local Taoseña women and fellows of the Wurlitzer Foundation.
