BISMARCK, N.D. (KXNET) — Lights, Camera… music? The Bismarck Symphony Orchestra’s latest performance — coming to the Belle Mehus Event Center this weekend — will feel more like a trip to the movie theater for many during their Take Us Away! concert.
During this annual show, the Bismarck-Mandan Symphony Orchestra steps back from classical symphonies to instead take a look at some of the backing tracks and famous songs from the history of moviemaking. Over the course of the show, the orchestra will be covering legendary silver screen songs from the likes of John Williams, and from such cinema classics as The Lion King, The Wizard of Oz, and the Lord of the Rings series.
