One Hall To Rule Them All

On October 9 and 10, Radio City Music Hall will be taken over by Tolkien fans, hobbits, and orcs when Howard Shore’s Oscar-winning score for  THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING will be performed live to film with a battery of 300 musicians.

A special weekend (October 9-11) is being planned surrounding the concerts. Scheduled events include:

• The official release of Doug Adams’ new book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films
• Pre-concert talks and post-concert signing sessions with Howard Shore and Doug Adams
• Discussion with Tolkien linguist David Salo, who translated all the choral lyrics for THE LORD OF THE RINGS scores
• Illustrator/artist Colleen Doran talks about her work
• And more!

I will be covering the events for Film Score Monthly Online, including special interviews with Howard Shore, as well as members of the musical and technical teams. I will provide further updates in these pages, so please check back.

If you’re in New York City that weekend, Middle-earth, I mean Radio City Music Hall is the place to be.
