The Music of The Lord of The Rings - Tribute to Howard Shore brings an evening of celebrated film music to St Peter’s Church in Parkstone on 30 August 2026. The concert honours the sweeping scores that Howard Shore composed for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy — the music that gave Middle-earth so much of its atmosphere.
What to expect
Shore’s writing was made to fill a cinema, and hearing it performed live lends those familiar themes a fresh sense of scale and emotion. The programme is built around his Lord of the Rings scores, though the full running order is confirmed by the organisers nearer the date — so it is worth checking the venue’s official listing for the latest details.
Planning your visit
St Peter’s is a handsome Victorian church in Parkstone, on the edge of Poole and within easy reach of Bournemouth, with plenty of places to eat and drink nearby before the performance. Its lofty interior makes an atmospheric setting for orchestral film music.
