Birch Creek Music Performance Center Executive Director Mona Christensen is excited about the decrescendo of her music career, but she hopes to see you at a show before her time reaches its coda at the end of next year. The organization and Christensen announced her retirement last month as they began their search for her replacement immediately. Christensen is proud of what she has accomplished during her decade on the job, including the expansion of its programs, the modernization of its facilities, and the growth of its endowment. Christensen knows that whoever gets the job will "land in a pot of jam," which is part of why she is staying aboard until September 1st, 2025, to help him or her get acclimated to the job during Birch Creek's 50th season.
Birch Creek is accepting applications for the role through October 18th, with an expected hiring date of March 1st. 2024 could end with three sold-out performances to close out the Fall Concert Series, which includes Saturday's fundraiser featuring The Road Scholars and its Christmas shows on December 7th.
