You should go to see the Edgewood Symphony Orchestra this weekend to see one of the champions of the Pittsburgh region perform. Sean Lomax who is originally from Braddock but now travels extensively as a whistler. Sean Lomax is a champion whistler he performs with Cirque du Soleil and was named male entertainer of the year for 2009 by the International Whistling Convention.

Mr. Lomax will join the Edgewood Symphony Orchestra on Saturday night…

Mr. Lomax, 49, of Braddock isn’t a singer and won’t be playing an instrument. Instead, he will perform three classical numbers using a skill he describes as “a lost art” — whistling.
