The best music from “The Lord of the Rings” & “The Hobbit” in concert with a special guest from the films, The Orchestra and Choir of The Shire and Oscar-winning music of Ed Sheeran, Howard Shore, Annie Lennox, Enya and more composers.
The hobbits are coming! The musical world of hobbits and elves from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of The Rings” and “The Hobbit” will be performed in an unique concert by a film orchestra, choir and star soloists. The two-hour performance features an original star guest and the greatest music from the films, in a spectrum reaching from the threatening sounds of Mordor and the shrill attack of the black riders to the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves.
The press celebrates “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit" – the Concert” as a “highly emotional and mythical experience”:
"...whether bombastic with timpani and gongs or elvishly delicate flute tones: the well-known, Oscar-winning melodies by Howard Shore from the film trilogy could be heard again and again and immediately provided the right "cinema in the head"..."
"... in the end, neither the audience nor the musicians were kept on their chairs. The audience managed to get the stars on stage to give three encores, with a standing ovation ..."
"... Nearly 100 performers - from the well-playing orchestra to the choir to the outstanding soloists - they all ensured that the audience was transported into the music of Tolkien's world-famous fantasy world..."
THE ORCHESTRA AND THE CHOIR OF THE SHIRE
The Orchestra and Choir of The Shire has performed in the leading concert venues in the world, from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to the Konzerthaus in Vienna. It works closely together with European state orchestras.
