This screening will see the music of Middle-earth come to life, with Academy Award-winning composer Howard Shore’s epic score performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, Philharmonia Chorus and soloist Kaitlyn Lusk.

Considered one of the most ambitious projects in film history, it took eight years to bring The Lord of the Rings to the screen. The result was an artistic and popular success of the highest order, with the trilogy winning a total of 17 Academy Awards®, and all three films among the highest-grossing of all time.
