Thanks to everyone who came along for a fascinating discussion. Next weekend we’ll be doing chapter six of the Hobbit!

Our friend Michiel Stevens from DeHobbit.net has passed on a message that the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, will be presenting a ‘live to projection’ performance of Howard Shore’s score for The Fellowship of the Ring at The Concertgebouw in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, this Saturday 4th June 2011, and Sunday 5th June 2011.

DeHobbit.net also has some exclusive interviews and a video that can be accessed from the links provided below (please note these are in Dutch so a translation tool might be required).

Details of the two-day event can be found over at DeHobbit.net.
