About This Performance
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit In Concert presents Howard Shore's acclaimed film scores performed live by a full symphony orchestra while the films play on a massive screen above. Shore's compositions for Peter Jackson's beloved trilogies earned him three Academy Awards and are widely considered among cinema's greatest musical achievements, blending orchestral grandeur with Celtic and world music influences to create Middle-earth's sonic landscape.
This immersive experience transforms movie-watching into a live concert event, with every musical moment—from the Shire's pastoral themes to the epic battles of Helm's Deep—performed with the power and nuance only live orchestra can provide. The synchronization of live music with iconic scenes creates an emotional intensity that both film and classical music lovers find captivating. It's perfect for families, fantasy enthusiasts, and anyone curious about experiencing familiar film music in a concert hall setting.
This touring production brings the magic of Middle-earth to major concert venues across the country, featuring local symphony orchestras in each city. The tour setup includes state-of-the-art projection and sound systems to ensure the visual spectacle matches the musical grandeur, creating a cohesive experience regardless of venue. Each performance showcases the host city's orchestra, adding a unique local flavor to Shore's universal musical language.
