The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring In Concert presents Peter Jackson’s beloved film, alongside a live orchestral performance of Howard Shore’s Oscar-winning score, from March 4 to 6, 2027.
Middle-earth is coming to Manila: from March 4 to 6, 2027, Film Concerts Philippines will present The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring In Concert at The Theatre at Solaire. Peter Jackson’s 2001 film will screen in full while composer Howard Shore’s Oscar-winning score plays live, performed by a 96-member Filharmonika Orchestra, the Philippine Madrigal Singers’ 100-member adult choir and 50-member boys’ choir, as well as soloist Malena Rampi.
With 247 performers onstage, the production marks the largest ensemble Film Concerts Philippines has had since its launch in 2024. Australian conductor Reuben Blundell will lead the performance, keeping the many musicians in time with a film that cannot exactly pause for a missed cue.

An Award-Winning Score
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) received 13 Academy Award nominations and won four, including Best Original Score for Shore. Across all three films, Jackson’s trilogy collected 17 Oscars, with Shore’s music helping establish much of the cinematic language audiences now associate with Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
The concert format first premiered in Lucerne in 2008, eventually growing into an international production with more than 500 performances. Manila may be joining the tour well after its first appearance, but the opportunity to hear Shore’s compositions performed by a live orchestra and two choirs should make the wait worthwhile.
