EAST LANSING, MI – The MSU Symphony Orchestra is playing at Wharton Center Saturday night. The program includes the Piano Concerto #2 by Prokofiev and the Symphony #5 by Shostakovich, and the William Tell Overture by Rossini. WKAR's Melissa Ingells spoke with conductor Leon Gregorian about the concert, who began with some thoughts on the overture.
