Adults from across the region are proving that you do not have to be a kid to enjoy attending Birch Creek Music Performance Center. The Egg Harbor-based performing arts organization is wrapping up its first of three “camps” for adult musicians on Saturday with its wind ensemble retreat concert at 2 p.m. Much like they could have done as an academy student in their youth, the musicians stay on campus while improving their skills for the community band and symphony seasons. Executive Director Jenna Ferdon says it is inspiring to see so many adults continue pushing themselves to improve their craft.

You can enjoy the fruits of their labor for free at the end of each session. In addition to Saturday’s wind ensemble retreat concert inside the Dutton Concert Barn, the chamber music retreat concert is scheduled for August 21st at 2 p.m., and the piano retreat concert will take place at 2 p.m. on August 25th.
