The Birch Music Performance Center has a concert hall on its campus in Egg Harbor but Door County residents are just as likely to run into performances at their favorite restaurant as they are in a more formal setting. Executive Director Mona Christensen says the Ambassador Program extends the center's reach by three-fold.

Students in the Ambassador Program do their performances for just two weeks. They prepare their musical sets on Sunday and by Wednesday they have started their shows, 16 in all during that stretch. Christensen says the program is a major draw to entice returning students. The ambassadors are the cream of the crop, helping Birch Creek put its best foot forward for the community.
