Bismarck, N.D. – The Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra is pleased to announce the ever-popular holiday concert, the next performance in the BMSO’s 40th anniversary season, "Light a Fire."

The celebration of the 2015-2016 season continues on Friday, November 20 and Saturday, November 21 – 7:30 PM at the Belle Mehus with the annual holiday concert, "Roasting by an Open Fire: Your Holiday Favorites." Returning to Bismarck are famed rock concert violinist Aaron Meyer and his band mate, nationally renowned guitarist, Tim Ellis. This is the duo’s fourth appearance with the BMSO, a musical reunion performers and concertgoers alike have embraced as a community holiday tradition.

Two of our favorite artists return to Bismarck for our annual holiday concerts! Full of the best combination of fresh and familiar, you won't want to miss this evening of fun, heart warming live music!"
