LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING IN CONCERT
Singers in grades 3–8 (with unchanged, treble voices) are invited to join our first-ever Pano Youth Summer Session—featuring an epic deep dive into the music of The Lord of the Rings. Over just 3 weeks in May and June, singers will learn selections from the iconic film score, culminating in a truly once-in-a-lifetime performance of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert with Texas Performing Arts at Bass Concert Hall on June 12–14. These spectacular performances will feature a full professional orchestra, a 100-voice adult choir, and the film projected on the big screen—all conducted by Howard Shore, the composer himself. Read more about the concerts below!
Directed by Juli Orlandini, Panoramic Voices is an adventurous choral collective that thrives on a “music without borders” approach to music making. With collaborations spanning all genres from classical, country, rock, hip hop, and beyond, PV has worked with a dizzying array of artists such as Mobley, Roky Erickson, Carson McHone, Calliope Musicals, Zeale, and Grammy Award-winners Roomful of Teeth. The commissioning of new works has also been an important part of Panoramic Voice’s mission, resulting in the premiere of compositions by Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, Austin luminary Graham Reynolds, and many more.
The ensemble has been widely recognized for its artistic endeavors, including “Best Choral Performance” from the Austin Critics’ Table, a cover story on Chorus America’s “The Voice” magazine, and regular listing among the Austin Chronicles “Top 10 Treasures.” In 2014, the Austin Chronicle dubbed Brent Baldwin (Panoramic Voice’s past Artistic Director) “Best Choral Wrangler” in its “Best of Austin” awards. The Austin American Statesman has hailed the group’s work as “always adventurous.”
In service to the greater Austin arts community, Panoramic Voices regularly partners with charitable organizations like the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM), SIMS, and Kids In a New Groove (KING) to provide support to the well-being of Austin artists.
