You will be able to catch the sounds of strings, winds, and brass walking through the campus of Birch Creek Music Performance Center in Egg Harbor over the next two weeks. Less than 12 hours after it said its final goodbyes to its percussion and steel band students, it began welcoming the first students for the symphony session. They will not have much time to get used to their surroundings as they open the season with the traditional Fourth of July concert before performing six more days over the next two weeks. It will be fast-moving for the students according to Birch Creek Music Performance Center Executive Director Mona Christenson.

As of this writing, there were still general admission tickets available for the Fourth of July concert on Monday. You can listen to our podcast with Christenson to learn more about the symphony session, which runs through July 16th.
