Information
Gather your fellowship and join the Sydney Symphony and podcasters Art of the Score for an epic journey through Howard Shore’s music of Middle Earth.
The Lord of the Rings films feature some of the greatest scores ever composed and in this concert you will hear them like never before – led by conductor Nicholas Buc and unpacked by popular podcasters Art of the Score.
Alongside live demonstrations of the music, explore how this Academy Award-winning music brought Tolkien's vast and sprawling worlds to life and became an unforgettable element of Peter Jackson’s beloved films.
