John Howe sends this in: Alan Lee will be present at the “SAINT-URSANNE LA FANTASTIQUE” festival for the closing weekend. Alan’s presence as special guest will be the highlight of the summer-long festival, which will have featured concerts, exhibitions and conferences on the theme of Tolkien (with Vincent Ferré, French Tolkien expert) and fantasy. Alan will be signing books in the medieval cloister at 4:00 PM Saturday September 2nd. This will be Alan’s first visit to Switzerland, so it’s a unique opportunity, not to be missed!

Katie writes: I received an advertisement in the mail today about a Lord of the Rings concert performed by the Cleveland Orchestra and the Blossom Festival Chorus at the 2007 Blossom Festival in Cleveland, Ohio on July 21 at 9:00PM. Prices for reserved pavilion seats start at $26 and general admission lawn tickets are $22. Gates open early at 6:30PM for picnicking. Tickets can be purchased by calling (216)231-1111 or (800)686-1141, or online at their website: clevelandorchestra.com. Also, if I have understood the letter correctly, it says that Howard Shore will be conducting! Again, this may or may not be correct. Either way, it sounds like something you wouldn’t want to miss. 🙂 More information can be found at their website.
