If I remember correctly, it lasted about two houres and and fifteen minutes, with a break included. But maybe someone who went to the symphony more recently could be more precise. I really hope you get the chance to go, it's worthed!

Apparently, Howard Shore was quite impressed by the Flemish Radio Orchestra, and therefore invited them over to Hollywood a couple of times. And now, because of this, they get to play the filmmusic (which will be composed by Mr. Shore) for the new Martin Scorcese movie! Needless to say that I'm very proud that of all orchestras Howard Shore played with, he liked the Flemish one best;...

Well, I'm going to see the symphony tomorrow night. Due to my father forgetting to buy the tickets until the last minute, the cheap seats were all sold out by the time we tried to get tickets, so we had to get the more expensive ones. That's fine by me, since it means we get fairly decent seats, instead of being up in the peanut gallery.

I went last weekend to see the LOTR symphony at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago and it totally blew me away. Though Howard Shore was there and came out after the performance I was a little disappointed he didn't conduct. But still going for the music from the films was what I went for. It was amazing and I wish I could go back to that night and hear it all over again.

I get to go to the LOTR sympony this Saturday! I am really excited! The only thing is that Howard Shore isn't going to be there.
I'm not quite sure who is orgistrating it but it's not him. All the same, I am truly hoping that it'll be the same concert that everyone here has gone to - I'll let everyone know how it goes.

I'm sure you guys'll love it. It was great when I saw it, even though Shore was there but not conducting. The music is so amazing, and one of my favorite parts must have been when a guy was banging chains on the floor during the Uruk Hai bit. It was uber cool.
