The Bemidji Symphony Orchestra (BSO) presents their Summer Pops concert "Westbound: Don't Stop" with guest pianist Philip Aaberg on Saturday evening, July 8, 2017 at 7:00 p.m. at the Bemidji High School Auditorium. Dr. Beverly Everett conducts.
A native of Montana, Aaberg is known worldwide for compositions that evoke the spaciousness and beauty of the western landscape.

He followed this with seven more solo albums: "Out of the Frame," "Upright," "Cinema," "Field Notes," "Live from Montana" (which received a Grammy nomination), "Christmas," and "Blue West." A Harvard graduate (courtesy of a Leonard Bernstein Scholarship) he has performed with the Boston Pops, Peter Gabriel, Elvin Bishop, at the Marlboro Chamber Music Festival, and has appeared on many of the worlds great concert stages, including Chicago, New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Madrid, Stockholm, Glasgow, Tokyo, London, Rome, Milan and Montreal.
The BSO will be joined by the annual Mystery Maestro who will conduct Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever."
