Le Seigneur des Anneaux & Le Hobbit en concert

A concert devoted to the music from the film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, given at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès in Strasbourg.

The novels of J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, published in 1937, and then The Lord of the Rings, published between 1954 and 1955, form the foundations of the world of Middle-earth. Peter Jackson drew two series of films from them: the Lord of the Rings trilogy, released between 2001 and 2003, and the Hobbit trilogy, between 2012 and 2014.

The music for these films is by Howard Shore, whose themes, such as that of the Shire or of the Ring, have become inseparable from the visual universe of the adaptations. The programme of this concert is built around these film scores, which form the thread running through the evening.

The concert is aimed both at viewers familiar with these films and at those discovering this universe through music. It takes place at the Palais de la Musique et des Congrès, a concert and performance venue in Strasbourg, whose programming hosts a varied range of classical music and performance formats.
