The name of the conductor who will lead the Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa – BOS has not yet been announced, but it is known that the concerts will feature the Bilbao Choral Society (conducted by Enrique Azurza) and the Bilbao Choral Society Children’s Choir (conducted by J. L. Ormazabal).

 

This third part, The Return of the King, concludes the cycle dedicated to one of the pinnacles of the symbiosis between music and cinema, winner of 11 Oscars, including Best Original Score for Howard Shore, whose previous installments in concert visited Bilbao in 2024 (‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’ in concert in Bilbao) and 2022 (‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ in concert in Bilbao).
