Discover a tribute concert to Middle-earth
The Fellowship continues to live on through the music of the Lord of the Rings saga.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the trilogy in cinema, Candlelight offers an exceptional tribute concert in Brussels. In the prestigious setting of the Concert Noble, a string quartet performs the most beautiful themes composed by Howard Shore for the three films: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
You take a seat in a room entirely lit by candlelight, for a musical and cinematographic journey to the heart of Middle-earth. An ideal outing for fantasy fans, music lovers and families with big children.

- The chic setting of the Concert Noble, a listed venue in the European quarter, perfect for a slightly exceptional evening.

The team’s opinion
Si vous avez vibré devant les films de Peter Jackson, ce Candlelight est une façon très émouvante de retrouver l’univers du Seigneur des Anneaux. The music, already cult, takes on a new dimension live: we rediscover the sweetness of Concerning Hobbits, the tension of the battle themes and the nostalgia of Into the West, carried by the strings and the reverberation of the room.
With children from 10–11 years old who are fans of fantasy, it is a very nice first classical concert experience. For a kid-free night out, it’s also a great date idea for couples or groups of geeky friends.
