Maestro Timothy Muffitt of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra

The Lansing Symphony’s holiday concert comes up this weekend and has some very special guests. We speak with Maestro Timothy Muffitt as well as one of the high school students performing with the LSO this weekend.

This Sunday, the Lansing Symphony Orchestra is on stage at the Wharton Center for their annual Holiday Concert, but they’ll have some very guest performers as well. Soprano and crowd favorite Mara Bonde returns, the Arts Chorale of Greater Lansing will be back for a bit of "Messiah," some "Nutcracker," and more.

The second half will feature eight mid-Michigan high schoolers to perform along with the Lansing Symphony.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley talks with the LSO’s Timothy Muffitt and one of the special guests.
