The music you heard from the barn on the campus of Birch Creek Music Performance Center on Thursday marked the beginning of summer in Door County. A full house greeted the musicians as they started a season with over 40 scheduled concerts featuring percussion and steel bands, symphony, and jazz music styles. The Percussion, Steel Pan, and World Music session covers several music styles, kicking off the season performances highlighting 70s tunes and songs reminding you about the different holidays. Thursday marked Mona Christensen’s 10th opening night as Birch Creek Music Performance Center’s Executive Director.  With familiar faces and great music, opening night never gets old for her.

The Percussion, Steel Pan, and World Music session continues through June 29th before the symphony session opens on July 4th. You can listen to our full interview with Christensen by clicking on this link.
