The Music of The Lord of The Rings. Tribute to Howard Shore

Join us on 7 August at 19:00 at the magnificent Southwark Cathedral for Our Precious Concert – one of our most beloved and best-selling programmes, now coming to London in its most magical form yet.

Experience the majestic and timeless music of the legendary Lord of the Rings films in a breathtaking concert that will transport you straight into the heart of Tolkien’s universe. Howard Shore’s iconic soundtrack has captivated millions across the world – and now, we bring it to life in a spellbinding performance that includes vocal music inspired by Elvish songs, ancient folklore, and the poetic spirit of Middle-earth.

Performed by the modern orchestra Mystery Ensemble, this immersive evening will guide you through a sonic journey where elves sing, hobbits dance, and the shadows of Mordor loom in the distance. Alongside the orchestra, live vocalists will embody the voices of Tolkien’s world — from ethereal Elvish laments to the haunting chants of ancient realms, bringing a deeply emotional and otherworldly dimension to the music of The Lord of the Rings.

About the venue

Situated in the heart of historic London, just steps from Borough Market and London Bridge, Southwark Cathedral is far more than a place of worship — it is one of the city’s most atmospheric and majestic concert venues. As the oldest Gothic church in London, with origins dating back to the 12th century, every arch and stained glass window carries the weight and wonder of centuries past.

Acoustically, Southwark Cathedral is widely regarded as one of the finest venues in the capital for choral, sacred, and chamber music. Its soaring vaulted ceilings and stone architecture create a natural resonance of remarkable clarity and depth, allowing every note to linger and unfold with grace. This is a space where music breathes — timeless, powerful, and profoundly moving.

Southwark Cathedral is not merely a venue — it is a symbol. A space where music, history, and sacred beauty converge in one of the world’s most culturally vibrant cities. Hosting a concert here is more than a choice of location; it is a tribute to London’s grandeur and its deep-rooted tradition of artistic excellence.
