We were now ready to go on summer tour in Germany with Star Entertainment. The first concerts took place in the year 2007 in Burg Königstein near Frankfurt, at Wörthersee Seebühne in Austria and in Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin. Christopher Lee performed at all three concerts with us in these highly succesful concerts conducted by Jörg Iwer with The Hollywood Orchestra and Chor des Auenlandes.

The Canadian artist and world-famous Tolkien illustrator Ted Nasmith granted his permission for us to use his illustrations on big screen during the concerts. I had known Ted for many years as a personal friend, and it meant a lot to me to finally be able to combine our artistic work based on The Lord of the Rings.
