Tolkien’s masterpieces. This concert promises to immerse the audience in the enchanting world of Middle-earth, featuring a live orchestra of 80 musicians and performers.
The performance will take attendees on a musical journey, from the joyful melodies of The Hobbit to the eerie sounds of Mordor, as well as the ethereal songs of the elves.

Fans of the Lord of the Rings films and books will find themselves transported back to the mythical world where they first encountered the epic tale.
Shore’s work, influenced by romanticism, avant-garde styles, and large orchestral arrangements, perfectly complements Jackson’s trilogy, enhancing the immersive experience of Tolkien’s world through its sweeping and emotional score.
