If your student enjoys what they hear at Birch Creek Music Performance Center, imagine if they were the ones who wrote it.
Birch Creek officials are developing a new music composition program that would take place during the Percussion, Steel Pan and World Music Summer Academy. Many of the pieces performed during the academy are original compositions written months before students step onto the organization's Egg Harbor campus. In addition to refining their percussion skills, students would also have the opportunity to learn how to compose the music they perform.
Percussion faculty member Peter Naughton is excited about the possibility of offering the program to future students.
This is the final weekend of the Percussion, Steel Pan and World Music Summer Academy, with performances scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
