Whether it's the sound of a steel drum, a violin or a saxophone you've been waiting for since last summer, the arrival of summer at Birch Creek Music Performance Center in Egg Harbor begins this week.

The first students of the 2026 season arrived on campus Sunday in anticipation of the first Percussion, Steel Pan and World Music performance on June 18. It is the time of year that Executive Director Jenna Ferdon and her team work toward all offseason as they welcome hundreds of students for four two-week sessions.

With the return of steel pan musician Victor Provost highlighting the slate of performances, Ferdon says audiences will have a lot to enjoy during the Percussion, Steel Pan and World Music session.

You can attend performances during the Percussion, Steel Pan and World Music session Thursday through Saturday through June 27.
