Saturday, Sept. 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Freeman Park Band Shelter in Idaho Falls is the annual “Symphony in the Park,” a free concert provided by the Idaho Falls Symphony. This year the symphony has a special treat, all of the music has been picked by the audience.
“We are playing music from Dvorak’s New World symphony and music by Rossini and we are playing the ‘Jupiter’ movement from Holst’s ‘The Planets.’ So a lot of really well known classic works,” said Thomas Heuser, the Idaho Falls Symphony’s music director. “And actually even some more contemporary stuff one of our surveyors said, ‘I would love for you to play music that my kids that are younger than thirteen would know.’ And so we are playing some music from Pixar’s “Monsters Inc.” which should be really fun for everyone, as well as ‘Star Wars.’ You got to have that.”
