The Lord of the Rings soundtrack reimagined<\/p>\n

The concert takes place on Friday, November 20, and it\u2019s the only scheduled date, so there\u2019s just one opportunity to experience it. Performed by the nationally recognized Highline String Quartet, you can experience some of the most memorable compositions of Howard Shore.<\/p>\n

Expect to hear beloved pieces, such as \u201cGollum\u2019s Song\u201d, \u201cThe Riders of Rohan\u201d and \u201cMinas Tirith\u201d, all while you\u2019re surrounded by a sea of twinkling candles. From the pastoral melodies of The Shire to the emotional themes from The Return of the King, this candlelit tribute concert<\/a> is magical way to revisit your favorite scenes.<\/p>\n

Barrymore Film Center: preserving American film history<\/p>\n

The setting is almost as interesting as the music itself. Long before Hollywood became the epicenter of filmmaking, Fort Lee was one of the country\u2019s earliest movie-making capitals. During the silent-film era, the town was home to around 17 studios and attracted some of the biggest names in the industry. <\/p>\n

Opened in 2022, the Barrymore Film Center honors this legacy with a museum, rotating exhibition and film screenings. It is an Art Deco cultural destination many New Yorkers already know and love for its film festival, and soon it will celebrate one of cinema\u2019s most beloved soundtracks. <\/p>\n

How to get there from NYC<\/p>\n

Reaching the venue from NYC is pretty straightforward. By car, the film center is just across the George Washington Bridge and the drive typically takes 20 minutes from Midtown Manhattan\u201410 from The Bronx in normal traffic.<\/p>\n

However, public transportation is perhaps a better option. You can either take NJ Transit\u2019s 158 bus from Port Authority Bus Terminal toward Fort Lee, or take a bus from the George Washington Bridge Bus Terminal at 175th Street (the Route 4 Jitney offers non-stop service GW Bridge Plaza West).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Background: Barrymore Film Center | Facebook Just across the river from Manhattan, a little piece of Middle-earth is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":388637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[75,84,83,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-388636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/388637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
