Howard Shore made cinema history with an Oscar-winning score that has become a cultural cornerstone celebrating heroism and friendship. “Concerning Hobbits,” “The Riders of Rohan,” and “Evenstar” illustrate this epic journey that redefined fantasy music worldwide. Candlelight elevates this epic through an intimate atmosphere where thousands of candles reveal the emotion of “Gollum’s Song” and “Into the West.” A vibrant tribute to a legendary work that unites generations.

Under the flickering glow of candles, Fairuz’s melodies take on an almost timeless quality.

An iconic figure in the Arab world, she embodies a unique sensibility, both nostalgic and luminous. In this warm atmosphere, each song becomes a delicate journey between emotion and heritage.

The precision of Autumn and the melancholy of Winter bear witness to this musical legacy that continues to shape our understanding of rhythm and contrast.
