Our musicians about the programme:

‘On this beautiful winter evening, you will feel like heroes from Tolkien’s fantastic universe, where elves, orcs, hobbits and dwarves live. There are rumours that various film composers, after hearing The Lord of the Rings in our interpretation, immediately began composing soundtracks for other films in the hope that one day we would perform them too. We decided we would think about it.

Don’t believe the rumours; come and see for yourself that the music of The Lord of the Rings in our performance is every bit as exciting as the film itself!’

It is time to let music into your hearts and experience this incredible adventure with Ensemble Sinfonietta Bern.
