SUMMARY:The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
DESCRIPTION:For the first time, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, In Concert, is coming to Los Angeles, with four performances at Peacock Theater. Howard Shore’s Academy and Grammy Award-winning score will be presented live, in concert. Experience the epic motion picture and its legendary score beneath a 60-foot screen accompanied by 238 musicians, including symphony orchestra, chorus and soloists, July 16, July 17, and a matinee and evening show on July 18, 2026. This production of The Lord of the Rings, In Concert, is presented by Goldenvoice, and follows over 18 years of sold-out performances of The Lord of the Rings, In Concert, across the globe. Celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary, this performance comes 15 years since The Fellowship of the Ring, In Concert, was performed in Anaheim, California in 2011. The live performances of Howard Shore’s score of The Lord of the Rings, In Concert, are unmatched in the movie going experience – the iconic score having been voted No .1 in the Classic FM Movie Music Hall of Fame in 2023, 2024, and 2025.  There’s probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore’s 10-hour epic for the “Lord of the Rings” series… the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien’s world… Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it’s no wonder that it’s become one of the most popular film scores ever written. – Stephen Brookes for the Washington Post, May 2008 The epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings – The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002), The Return of the King (2003) – directed by Peter Jackson and based on the beloved J.R.R. Tolkien novel became an international phenomenon. Released by New Line Cinema, the trilogy is among the highest earning films of all time and won a total of 17 Academy Awards. Howard Shore was honored with Academy Awards for Original Score for The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) and The Return of the King (2003), and for Original Song for “Into the West,” featured in The Return of the King (2003). Shore’s work on the trilogy was also honored with two Golden Globes and four Grammy Awards. Howard Shore commented on the 25th Anniversary of the The Fellowship of the Ring, In Concert: “The Lord of the Rings has been translated into 40 languages and has attracted a global fan-base, but the fan community doesn’t often have the opportunity to come together in person and coalesce around a performance at this high level. There is something unique and powerful that happens – a synergy is created in bringing together the music – live on a large scale, with the films, in a magnificent house.” HOWARD SHORE, COMPOSER Howard Shore is one of today’s premier composers whose music is performed in concert halls around the world by the most prestigious orchestras and conductors. Shore’s work with Peter Jackson on The Lord of the Rings earned him three Academy Awards, four Grammys, and two Golden Globes as well as numerous critic and festival awards. He has scored over 100 films including seventeen films by David Cronenberg and six by Martin Scorsese. His concert works include a symphony, an opera, a Latin mass, three concertos, two song cycles and more. He is an Officier de l'ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la France, the recipient of Canada’s Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and is an officer of the Order of Canada.
