The "Lord of the Rings-Symphony" takes the guests away on a musical trip to middle-earth. The audience will experience a fantastic live concert featuring an impressive mulit-media presentation of the original illustrations and sotryboards by the artists Alan Lee and John Howe.

The sound of the orchestra will gleam the Kölnarena as well as the voices of the two choires "KölnChor" and "Rheinischer Kammerchor" will. In addition to that the Kölnarena is proud to welcome some well known soloists as well.

This concert event comes to Germany in May 2006! It's a must see for every single member of the Tolkien-Community. [More]
