Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring

The Oscar-winning film music by composer Howard Shore performed live to the complete original version of the first part of the trilogy “The Lord of the Rings” by symphony orchestra, choir and soloists with large-screen projection and over 200 participants

Since J.R.R. Tolkien published his three-part epic in 1954, "The Lord of the Rings" has captivated millions of readers and transported them to the world of Middle-earth. The work set standards for the fantasy genre, creating a completely new and extraordinarily believable universe from scratch. An unforgettable hero—the hobbit Frodo Baggins—finds himself caught in the crossfire of a war of enormous proportions in Middle-earth, a world of magic and legendary myth. Above all, "The Lord of the Rings" celebrates the power of self-sacrificing friendship and individual courage, great and mighty enough to hold even the most destructive forces of darkness at bay.

The only “Lord of the Rings” production authorized by composer Howard Shore

In 2001, "The Lord of the Rings" finally hit theaters in a breathtaking film adaptation, the largest and most elaborate film production of all time. Film music composer Howard Shore created a fully composed, Oscar- and Grammy-winning musical work that accompanies the plot with emotional, complex themes, assigning unique motifs to each culture in Middle-earth. Reason enough to experience this wonderful music live for the film!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring," featuring live music and a giant-screen projection, has enjoyed sensational success in recent years, with numerous sold-out screenings. The original soundtrack, stripped down to the music, provides a true cinematic sound. The fact that the music is played live by over 200 performers enhances the thrilling experience. On a specially installed giant screen, one of the most successful film adaptations in cinema history becomes a multimedia experience, the emotional power of which culminates in the magnificent live music, and which no one can resist.
