About the Performance
Gather your fellowship and join the West Australian Symphony Orchestra for an epic screen-free 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 with commentary by popular podcasters Art of the Score.
Experience the scale and emotional depth of Howard Shore’s music as the powerhouse voices of the WASO Chorus and Aquinas College Schola Cantorum combine with the full power of the Orchestra. Through live musical demonstrations, explore how this Oscar-winning music brought Tolkien’s vast and sprawling world to life and became an unforgettable element of Peter Jackson’s beloved films.
From the charming Concerning Hobbits to the thrilling drama of The Bridge of Khazad-dûm and the uneasy embrace of Lothlórien, Art of the Score and the West Australian Symphony Orchestra will take you there and back again.
This performance does not feature any screens or film footage.
