A Tempo this Saturday (10/5) checks in with the Rutgers Wind Ensemble, which will have its first experience performing a film score alongside the movie at its concert later this month.

As film scores become a greater part of regular orchestra seasons, students in the Rutgers Wind Ensemble of Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers the State University of New Jersey, will have their first experience at playing alongside a motion picture at their upcoming concert Oct. 13. The ensemble will perform the score composed in 2001 by Michael Shapiro for the original Frankenstein movie - which when released in 1931 did not have its own score. A Tempo host Rachel Katz speaks with the ensemble's conductor, Kraig Alan Williams, about preparing the students for the performance.

Rachel Katz is the host of A Tempo which airs Saturdays at 7 pm.
