What's New on WKAR, April 5

Three MSU performances highlight today's What's New.  First, Richard Sherman and A Ram Lee bring you a February performance from the Jackson Symphony's Classical Cabaret series of Richard Strauss' Flute and Piano Sonata.  Then, Kevin Noe leads the MSU Symphony in a brilliant reading of Aaron Copland's Billy the Kid Suite.  And the MSU Wind Symphony plays Percy Grainger's Colonial Song.

Gray Graffman joins the Lark Quartet in a 1999 work of Jennifer Higdon just released by Bridge Records...and Alessio Bax plays Mozart's 27th Piano Concerto.
