Episode 387: Concert in the Park

Wind & Rhythm marked the beginning of a new adventure in April of 2016. Not exactly live radio, or even radio produced live in front of an audience like some of the other NPR programs, but rather, a new, unique adventure. Host Doug Brown walked onto the stage at Michigan State University’s Wharton Center for the Performing Arts with the MSU Wind Symphony, and what follows on this week's show will give you an idea of that experience.
