You are running out of opportunities to catch Birch Creek Music Performance Center’s academy students take the stage this summer. The final academy session of Big Band Jazz kicked off on Wednesday with performances inside the Dutton Concert Barn and at select locations around the peninsula. The end of the academy season also means Executive Director Jenna Ferdon is approaching the end of her first summer at the organization's helm. While she was not as familiar with Big Band Jazz sessions as she was with the Percussion, Steel Pan, and World Music and Symphony sessions, she is walking away just as impressed.
Seven more Big Band Jazz performances remain this season, including at  3 p.m. today (8/1/25) and a free family concert at 1 p.m. on August 9th. Click on this link to hear more about the final days of the Big Band Jazz session and the upcoming adult retreat programs.
