Before you can catch your favorite big band jazz, symphony, and percussion ensemble shows inside the barn at Birch Creek Music Performance, much work still needs to be done. With opening day slated for June 20th with the first percussion, steel pan, and world music show, the campus will begin to fill up over the coming ten days. The first staff members will begin their training and preparation on Sunday, with the first students moving in the following weekend. With large ensembles expected to participate through the fall with their adult music retreats, Executive Director Mona Christensen says she is excited for the season.

Tickets are on sale now for the upcoming season with the percussion, steel pan, and world music session beginning on June 20th, the symphony session on July 4th, and the first of two big band jazz sessions beginning on July 17th.
