Jazz AmbassadorsThe Birch Creek Jazz Ambassadors are a jazz combo comprised of elite students selected through an audition process that takes place at the beginning of each Jazz Academy session. The Ambassadors serve as Birch Creek’s community outreach to numerous venues throughout Door County and, at the same time, are given the opportunity to gain experience as traveling, gigging musicians.

All concerts are FREE.
