Competion: Perform With James Newton Howard In Budapest On 5 November
Are you, are you, coming to the tree?<br> Enter and win the chance to perform with one of Hollywood’s biggest composers and a symphony orchestra. <br> As Hollywood composer James Newton Howard is preparing for his first ever live concert tour, it begs the question: who will be singing his track from the Hunger Games – Mockingjay Part 1, The Hanging Tree? Originally sung by Jennifer Lawrence in the movie, the lullaby became the biggest musical hit of the series, peaking at number 12 in the Billboard Hot 100.

And now the song could be your chance to perform together with a complete symphony orchestra and a full choir!
The competition to find a singer to perform “The Hanging Tree” at James Newton Howard’s very first live concerts in Europe starts here.

We are looking for the right person to sing Jennifer Lawrence’s part during James’ concerts in several cities on the tour.

Are you a woman and available for the rehearsals and the show? Here is how to get chosen:


1. Choose the location for which you would like to audition.
2. Carefully read & agree to the rules of the competition.
3. Record a video of yourself singing “The Hanging Tree”, a capella, in the original key. Important – the video can not be longer than 3,5 minutes!
4. Upload the video on Youtube or Vimeo and send us a link, along with a completed questionnaire form.
Five semi- finalists per location will be preselected. James will then personally pick a winner!
*Semi-finalists will possibly be featured on James’ website and/or James’ official Facebook page

Concert will be held on 5 November - competion closes on 31 July
