THE HOBBIT is a timeless tale of good and evil. A quest to right wrong and a search for treasure buried in a magic mountain guarded by a fiery dragon. The home-loving Hobbit Bilbo, a legendary wizard and a company of dwarves begin an adventure fraught with dangerous encounter’s with trolls, angry goblins and a giant spider. The extreme opposites of the spectrum between good and evil as portrayed in The Hobbit is heard throughout the musical score. From the friendly flute theme for Bilbo to the threatening french horns for Smaug the fierce dragon, the music enhances the powerful emotions that Tolkien creates during this wondrous fantasy adventure. ALLAN ZAVOD – COMPOSER On the advice and support of Duke Ellington, the Australian composer Allan Zavod attended Berklee School of Music Boston. Based in the USA for the next twenty years, Allan played, recorded and toured the world with many music greats from The Glenn Miller and Woody Herman Orchestras to the legendary Frank Zappa. America’s music bible "Downbeat" named him on of the top ten keyboard artists of the 80’s. As a composer for Symphony Orchestra, Zavod is at the forefront of the fusion of classical music with jazz, and as a film composer there are over thirty USA and Australian Film and television scores to his credit. Concert performances for Royalty, Prime Ministers, Heads of State and various charities throughout the world keep Allan busy. The Soundscape
