In keeping with our mission, we are truly excited for the New Year as we continue to build on the tradition of excellence and look forward to many NEW changes.
We are happy to welcome our NEW Executive Director, Alan Kopischke, who officially took the baton on January 2nd. Alan’s community-minded leadership and proven success in past positions makes him the ideal Director to help ensure Birch Creek Music Performance Center continues to deliver the superior quality performances it has become known for.
