The Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra will close its 2025-2026 concert season with the Wingo Pops Concert, “Swing, Strings and All That Jazz,” featuring show-stopping music for audiences of all ages. The concert will be held Sunday, May 3, at 2 p.m. in the Bettersworth Auditorium of Lee Hall on the Mississippi State University campus.

The orchestra, conducted by Daniel Stevens, will perform works by American music greats such as the Gershwins, Duke Ellington and Henry Mancini. Accompanied by the Starkville Community Chorus, the program includes Cole Porter’s “Let’s Fall in Love,” a medley of Gershwin tunes and Mancini’s “The Pink Panther.”

“Whether you are a fan of swing, jazz, bossa nova or ragtime, we want the audience to enjoy the timeless tunes that shaped American music,” Stevens said.

Mississippi State University faculty and staff receive half-price admission ($12.50), and MSU students with ID will be admitted free. Parking will be available on campus.
