 Bemidji State University's Music Department is bringing professional talent to the bold north with their annual Bemidji Concert Series. BSU Music Department started the Bemidji Concert Series back in 2001 to reinforce Bemidji's reputation as a cultural center in northern Minnesota. The series features around four or more concerts by professional musicians. Tonight, Minneapolis-based group The Horned Hedge performed bringing the professionals up also provides a unique opportunity for students. The great thing about the concert series is we bring a group in to perform, but they usually perform a masterclass with students. So students, our jazz band played for The Horned Hedge this afternoon and got some feedback from some professional artists about some of the music they're playing and how to play better. The last concert of the season will be held on March 31st. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
