The concert takes place at the Tulsa PAC and begins at 7:30pm. Our guest today is Timothy Muffitt, who will serve as the Guest Conductor for this concert.

Today on ST we speak with the Boston-born, U.K.-based author Meg Rosoff, who's written several award-winning novels for young adults. Her latest effort (published last year in Britain and just out here in the U.S.) is really intended for adults as well as YA readers. It's called "There Is No Dog," and it's an off-the-wall and quite satirical work that images God as a teenaged boy named Bob. In a starred review in Booklist, one critic called this novel "wildly inventive and laugh-out-loud funny."
