The Music of The Lord of The Rings. Tribute to Howard Shore


Date: 30/08/2026
Location: St Peter’s Church, Parkstone [map]

Join us on August 30th at the stunning St Peter’s Church, Parkstone for ’Our precious concert’ – one of our most beloved and best-selling programmes!

Experience the majestic and timeless music of the legendary Lord of the Rings films in a breathtaking concert that will transport audiences straight into the heart of Tolkien’s universe. Howard Shore’s iconic soundtrack has captivated millions worldwide, and now, we bring it to Poole!

Performed by the modern orchestra Mystery Ensemble, this magical evening will transport you instantly into the heart of Tolkien’s universe, where elves, hobbits, and dwarves roam. The virtuoso playing of the musicians will bring to life the stirring, powerful, and deeply emotional compositions of Howard Shore, the three-time Academy Award winner, whose work shaped the very essence of Peter Jackson’s cinematic masterpiece.

This enchanting musical journey promises to be one of the most magical concerts of the season, with tickets selling out fast!

Mystery Ensemble about the programme:

“On this beautiful evening, you will feel like the heroes of Tolkien’s fantastic universe, where elves, orcs, hobbits, and dwarves live! Imagine: a chamber hall, the authentic sound of motifs from the soundtracks… Fabulous, isn’t it? There are rumours that various film composers, having heard The Lord of the Rings in our performance, strenuously began composing soundtracks for other films – hoping that someday we will also perform them! We decided to think about it.
