Lee writes: We are very close to announcing a new addition to the Lord of the Rings Symphony tour schedule, this one in Detroit on October 16, 2004 at the Fox Theatre, and we’d like to offer your readers another pre-sale opportunity, just like we did for the Chicago show. As in Chicago, TORN readers should use password “RING” to purchase tickets before the general public on-sale. We’re very excited that the Detroit Symphony Orchestra will be performing the symphony in Detroit. Due to scheduling conflicts, Mr. Shore will not be in attendance. At this point I do not know who the conductor will be. [TICKETS]

NJPAC and NJSO join forces to present the NY Metropolitan Area premiere of THE LORD OF THE RINGS SYMPHONY: SIX MOVEMENTS FOR ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS, a multi-media extravaganza featuring music from the blockbuster big-screen trilogy whose soundtrack recordings have sold over 4 million copies. This once-in-a-lifetime concert will feature composer Howard Shore’s monumental, Grammy and Academy Award-winning score from all three Lord of the Rings films in a six-movement, two-hour musical journey into the realm of Middle Earth – from the tranquility of the Shire to the horrors of Mordor and explosive Mount Doom. To enhance the musical experience, storyboard sketches from the movie trilogy and original illustrations for the centenary edition of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books will be projected above the orchestra. This spectacular event will incorporate more than 200 performers, including the full New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and two choruses.
