Hey everyone. I went to the opening night of Jazz at Birch Creek last Wednesday and it was amazing! The Lab Band, which will be performing at the park on Wednesday had been together for less than 3 full days and they sounded like pros! I’m really looking forward to hearing them this week after being together for 10 days. It’s going to be good!

Birch Creek is a music school by day and a performance venue in the evenings, offering over 35 concerts throughout the summer months in the campus’ historic concert barn east of Egg Harbor. Birch Creek offers four two-week resident sessions in Symphony, Percussion and Steel Band, and Big Band Jazz (two sessions). Students range in age from 13-19, and are given the unique opportunity to perform alongside their instructors, whose credentials include performing with such impressive groups as the Minnesota and Chicago Symphonies, the Eastman School of Music, and the Count Basie and Frank Sinatra Jr. Orchestras. Birch Creek Music Performance Center is a unique summer music school and concert venue located on Wisconsin’s beautiful Door County peninsula. For more than a quarter of a century, Birch Creek has been summer home to outstanding young musicians and some of the country’s top performers and music educators, who teach by day and perform by night in the rural campus 500-seat concert hall.
Birch Creek’s Jazz program offers students a unique learning experience at levels of jazz performance not found in most other jazz programs in America. The program gives students an effective combination of experiences to help them master the fundamentals of jazz while establishing professional attitudes by playing side-by-side with some of today’s top performers and educators. The Birch Creek program provides an environment not found on large lecture-style campuses – our small size and busy concert schedule challenge each student, whatever his or her level, to learn and perform at a pace found on the professional music scene.
