Birch Creek Music Performance Center is an elite summer music academy located in the heart of Door County Wisconsin. Students, entering grade seven through graduating grade 12, attend from up to 15 states and from other countries. Our faculty are professional musicians, many of whom teach and perform at some of the most prestigious music schools in the country. Together, our students and faculty present over 30 concerts in the historic Dutton Barn and over 30 outreach concerts during our academy season. We offer four, two-week sessions in Percussion, Steel Pan & World Music; Symphony and two sessions of Big Band Jazz. In the shoulder seasons we offer Wind Ensemble, Chamber Music and Piano retreats for adults, in addition to Fall Series Concerts that feature Birch Creek faculty artists and friends. Two fundraiser dinner concerts are offered each year; Valentines Fundraiser and the Associates Volunteers Fundraiser, both of which support every Birch Creek student by providing proceeds to the operational fund, Play It Forward.
