The Tolkien Ensemble has played a vast number of concerts in Denmark in a variety of places: Concert-Halls, Churches and Bars and performed its first concert in England in J.R.R. Tolkiens own College: Exeter College, Oxford (September 1999).

In recording-sessions as well as some concerts The Tolkien Ensemble uses musicians from the professional Danish music-scene as assistants. This has led to a fruitful co-operation with ensembles such as the Chamber Choir Hymnia, The Commotio Quartet, the folk-band Polka-gejst and several vocal/instrumental soloists.

The Tolkien Ensemble has, in connection with recordings, received financial support from KODAs Collective Blank Tape Remuneration for Financial Support, The Tuborg Foundation, The Danish Order of Freemasons and DMF.

The Tolkien Ensemble's concert-tour in the autumn 2000 was financially supported by Voices in 1000 Years.
