The Rexburg Tabernacle Orchestra is hosting a concert this Thursday for free at the Rexburg Tabernacle.

This concert focuses on the music presented in cinema like "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "West Side Story" and more.

Playing these scores is not as easy as one would think, according to Richard Ferguson, the head violin player.

"In the music to E.T., there are a lot of really fast high notes for the violins, especially, just a lot of very technically challenging parts," said Ferguson.

"And in the 'West Side Story' music, that's full of really difficult rhythms and lots of different parts to put together."

Mark Seare, the main director of the orchestra, shared that there will be movie scenes being played in the background, where the music of the movie will be located.

"When there's a movie playing, often they will put classical music behind the movie to convey a certain feeling," Seare shared.
