Lee will join conductor Jules van Hessen and the Dutch Theater Orchestra in a LOTR concert. The concert will feature parts from the LOTR score, but also LOTR music composed in 1978 by Leonard Rosenman and musical adaptations of Tolkien poems. He will be performing as ‘storyteller’ in Johan de Meij’s “LOTR symphony”, and will recite “Treebeard’s song” which he recorded earlier with the Tolkien ensemble. Tickets for the concert are available at concertgebouw.nl.
