The Lansing Symphony Orchestra’s second MasterWorks concert of the year is tonight. We talk with conductor Timothy Muffitt about what’s on the program.

The Lansing Symphony Orchestra’s next MasterWorks 2 concert is tonight at MSU’s Wharton Center. The "Cello Concerto" by Edward Elgar and the "Symphony #2" by Sergei Rachmaninoff are on the program.

WKAR’s Jody Knol will host a preview conversation with cello soloist Joshua Roman at 7:15 p.m. in the Jackson National Lounge before the concert.

Current State’s Melissa Benmark speaks with LSO conductor Timothy Muffitt about putting these two pieces together for this concert.
