They are the most beloved and recognisable big and small screen creations of all time – let alone just in the world of the Fantasy genre. The show will be a celebration of the music from the most memorable moments from across the worlds of Middle Earth and the Seven Kingdoms, with stunning music performed live by orchestra, creating an immersive live concert experience that is every bit as thrilling as the twists and turns in the worlds’ respective histories.

The original trilogy of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, directed by Peter Jackson, are among the highest grossing film series of all time, as well as being critically acclaimed – winning a combined 17 out of the 30 Academy Awards for which they were nominated. Composer Howard Shore conceived the soundtrack as music of unparalleled power and invention, demanding of a large symphonic ensemble, and eventually having over 12 hours of music from the series of films.

Game of Thrones is a TV show like no other – the hit HBO series has captured the hearts and minds of millions the world over, drawing in record numbers of viewers and winning 38 Emmy Awards to date. Composer Ramin Djawadi began creating the music for the show in 2011, with most of the eerie, magnificent score back then being penned for a small string ensemble. With the success of the next six seasons of the show, the music budget became bigger and bigger, allowing Djawadi to create even more emphatic pieces for large orchestras.
