About event −

Experience the majestic music of the iconic Lord of the Rings saga beneath the soaring Gothic vaults of Lincoln Cathedral — for centuries one of the tallest and most awe-inspiring buildings in the world. A unique experience you don't want to miss, with delight guaranteed for the whole family!

The virtuoso sound of the Mystery Ensemble will transport you straight into a fantasy world of elves, hobbits and dwarves. This music, loved by millions, is guaranteed to give you goosebumps!

At the heart of the evening will be the fantastic voice of soprano Josephine Shaw. Her expressive singing weaves together with the ensemble to reveal the full lyrical power of Howard Shore's grandeur, creating an unforgettable, atmospheric experience in an intimate candlelit setting.

This musical journey through the enchanting melodies of the world-famous Canadian composer Howard Shore — winner of 3 Oscars, 2 Golden Globes and 3 Grammy Awards — is set to be one of the most magical concerts of October 2026, and tickets are expected to sell out soon.

Mystery Ensemble on this programme:

— On this beautiful autumn evening you will feel like a hero of Tolkien's fantastic universe, where elves, goblins, hobbits and dwarves dwell! Imagine: a historic, atmospheric cathedral filled with the acoustic sound of motifs from the legendary soundtracks… Fantastic, isn't it? Rumour has it that several film composers, after hearing The Lord of the Rings in our performance, threw themselves into writing soundtracks for other films — hoping we would one day perform those too! We decided to think about it. Come and discover that the music of The Lord of the Rings in our performance is just as thrilling as the films themselves. It's time to let this music into your heart and live an incredible adventure together with Mystery Ensemble!

Don't miss your chance to get tickets for this atmospheric and utterly enchanting October concert!
