Birch Creek Music Performance Center

Birch Creek Music Performance Center Birch Creek is a unique, performance-based summer music program for youth and adults in Door County.

Birch Creek, located in the heart of Wisconsin's beautiful Door County, is a young musician's dream. Founded in 1976, this unique summer music academy and concert venue provides talented students, ages 13 to 19, advanced training as well as the opportunity to perform publicly alongside some of the top music professionals in the country. Birch Creek offers four two-week summer sessions: Percussion

& Steel Band, Symphony, and Jazz (two sessions). The student-to-faculty ratio averages 2:1, ensuring that students receive attentive mentoring from top music educators and professionals. Following the academy season we also offer a Symphonic Wind Ensemble Camp (formerly Adult Band Camp) for community band members and music teachers and a Chamber Music Retreat for adult musicians at an intermediate or above level.
