Academy Award-winning ‘Rings’ orchestra performs at Save Mart Center


Esteban Cortez / The Collegian

A world-renowned orchestra performed the Academy Award-winning “The Lord of the Rings” film score live on Friday, Oct. 21 at Fresno’s Save Mart Center. More than 200 musicians performed the score of the first film, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” as it was digitally projected on a 60-foot screen in high-definition. Several props from the first feature film were on display in the Save Mart Center’s halls, including the original hobbit feet worn by Sean Astin, one of the film’s key actors. The Lord of the Rings in Concert is a three-year installment celebrating the trilogy’s 10th anniversary. A second tour is scheduled for 2012, in which the score for the second film, “The Two Towers,” will be played. The score of the final film, “The Return of the King,” will be played in 2013.
