Last night, MTV's Kurt Loder sat down with "The Lord of the Rings" composer Howard Shore and Pippin the Hobbit actor Billy Boyd at The Paley Center for Media. Kurt was there to moderate a panel called Shore on the Score: The Music of "The Lord of the Rings," which featured Shore, Boyd and The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films author Doug Adams.

In just a few short weeks, New Yorkers will get a rare treat. Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score for "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will be performed live at Radio City Music Hall by more than 300 musicians while the movie plays on a 60-foot screen above them. The performances -- spanning two evenings -- are the centerpiece of a week-long series celebrating the trilogy.

I'm here today to tell you about a cool panel that's happening on October 1 at The Paley Center for Media, located at 25 West 52nd St. MTV's own Kurt Loder will moderate Shore on the Score: The Music of "The Lord of the Rings," featuring Shore, The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films author Doug Adams and actor/musician Billy Boyd, who played the hobbit Pippin in the trilogy. As a special treat, MTV is happy to extend readers an offer to purchase tickets to the event at 50% off. That's a mere $10, a hard-to-resist offer even in these troubled economic times if you're a "Lord of the Rings" fan.
