2020 Blossom Music Festival to Include LORD OF THE RINGS In Concert

Next summer at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, experience The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in concert with The Cleveland Orchestra. This 2020 Blossom Music Festival movie concert includes the film shown on large screens, with its Academy Award® and Grammy®-winning score by composer Howard Shore performed live by The Cleveland Orchestra. Concert tickets go on sale Tuesday, December 10, 2019 - just in time for holiday gift shopping - through the Severance Hall Ticket Office, online at clevelandorchestra.com, or by calling Cleveland Orchestra Ticket Services at 216-231-1111 or 1-800-686-1141.

On July 17, 18, and 19, 2020, relive the first installment of Peter Jackson's fantasy adventure trilogy, based on the novels of J.R.R. Tolkien. A long-lost ring has been found and, through twists of fate, is in the possession of a small hobbit named Frodo Baggins. When Gandalf the grey wizard discovers this ring is in fact the all-powerful One Ring, Frodo must lead an epic quest to Mount Doom in order to destroy it. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir, and his three hobbit friends Merry, Pippin, and Samwise - the Fellowship of the Ring. Howard Shore's score captures Fellowship's sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas, and grand journeys.

This concert joins the previously announced Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™ in concert as part of the 2020 Blossom Music Festival season. Tickets for Harry Potter are on sale now. The complete season will be announced early in 2020. The Blossom Music Festival's season sponsor is The J.M. Smucker Co.
