Mark Your Calendars: A Lord of the Rings Film Concert Is Coming to Manila in March

(SPOT.ph) Heads up, LOTR fans: it’s time to return to Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is coming to Manila for a three-night film concert. Introducing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert.

Whether you’re an Elvish-speaking superfan or a casual moviegoer, you’ll want to hear the film’s sweeping score come to life. From the Shire’s warm, lilting theme to the mournful music as the Fellowship parts ways, the concert offers a fresh way to experience the film. Here’s what you need to know.

From March 4 to 6, The Theatre at Solaire transforms into a piece of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth for Film Concerts Philippines' The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert. Leave the comfort of the Shire and journey with Frodo, Sam, and the rest of the Hobbits as they try to destroy the One Ring. But this isn't just any other film screening. Much like other Film Concerts, this experience breathes new life into the franchise by bringing its music closer to fans through a live orchestral performance while the full three-hour film plays on the big screen.

Catch Howard Shore's Academy Award-winning score performed live by 247 artists, which includes the 96-member Filharmonika Orchestra, the 100-member Philippine Madrigal Singers, a 50-member boys' choir, and South American folk and jazz soloist Malena Rampi. ICYDK, this ensemble is the largest group to perform at a film concert in Manila to date. The performance will be under the baton of Australian conductor Reuben Blundell, who has been presenting Howard Shore’s scores for The Lord of the Rings in Concert with Peter Jackson’s films since 2018.

Although this is the first time Filipino audiences are getting a full LOTR concert, The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert has been performed around the world by leading orchestras. It's part of a wider series of Lord of the Rings concerts that have been performed over 500 times worldwide. So rest assured, Shore's music and Jackson's film will be given the love and performance they deserve.
