Renowned pianist and Conrad native Philip Aaberg performs for guests at Cafe Music Night.

Sculpture in the Wild Artistic Director Kevin O'Dwyer talks to the crowd about the progress made at the sculpture park during the past six years.

Jordan Reeves holds a hand forged, sterling silver sauce boat by Kevin O'Dwyer aloft during the auction. The piece, one of a limited edition of five such vessels by the master silversmith, raised $5400 for BPSW. The evening's live auction raised more than $20,000 for the continued operation of Lincoln's international sculpture park.

Jondu plays the Appalachian dulcimer at the beginning of the evening. Jondu later joined Aaberg for a rendition of "The Walking Blues" as the evening drew to a close. Jondu performed a separate free concert at the Lincoln Community Hall Sunday, Sept. 22.
