New Zelda Symphony Dates Announced. (Includes a representation during E3.) #1

Just got the e-mail.

Quote:
A Dream Come True Experience For Video Game Fans & Music Lovers: Nintendo's "The Legend Of Zelda: Symphony Of The Goddesses" Tour - Once-In-A-Lifetime Concert Adds Several New Tour Dates

(Los Angeles) February 21, 2012 - Based on one of the most popular and beloved video game series of all time, "The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Tour" is a spectacular concert that features live orchestral performances of theme music from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise. The unprecedented concert tour recently added several new dates:

June 6; Los Angeles, CA; Greek Theatre (during E3 Expo 2012)
July 7; Houston, TX; Jesse H. Jones Hall for the Performing Arts
July 12; San Diego, CA; Embarcadero Marina Park South (during Comic Con 2012)
July 25; Philadelphia, PA; Mann Center
July 26; Vienna, VA; Filene Center at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts
September 22; Minneapolis, MN; Orpheum Theatre


The name "Symphony of the Goddesses" refers not only to the concert program but also to the new four-movement symphony recounting the classic storylines from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time™, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker™, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess™, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past™. The concert also will highlight orchestral renditions of music from other series games, including The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening™ and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask™. The full orchestra will be conducted by Eímear Noone with arrangements by music director Chad Seiter.

"This concert program is a truly special event for so many people who grew up playing The Legend of Zelda," notes Jason Michael Paul, executive producer of Jason Michael Paul Productions. "The new tour dates are helping us bring this unique experience to fans across the country."

Since first appearing in 1986, The Legend of Zelda game series has sold more than 65 million units worldwide. The most recent entry in the franchise is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which launched exclusively for the Wii console in November 2011.

Beyond the new shows in June and July, the concert tour plans to announce several additional dates for the rest of 2012. Club Nintendo members can also enjoy an exclusive 15% discount by logging into their accounts at http://club.nintendo.com and clicking on the "Symphony of the Goddesses" logo banner.

Fans can view a complete tour schedule with ticketing information and also sign up for a regularly updated digital newsletter at http://www.zelda-symphony.com. For more information about The Legend of Zelda video game series, visit http://zelda.nintendo.com.
I should have mentioned it also has a representation during Comic-Con.

Wait what? I went to the Dallas one and there was no Majora's Mask rendition.

I'm so angry I could.....buy new tickets.

Anyone know how far this place in VA is from Pittsburgh or the Pennsylvania area? Currently looks like my best option and I'm not missing this for ANYTHING at all.

They won't go back and forth between America and Europe. They'll do the NA tour, then a Euro one.

C'mon.

And did Japan even got any dates besides the premiere?

I just thought they use more symphonies than just one.

When Sakaguchi was in Cologne here, he let one symphony from Germany play his songs.

My god, if they do what they did last year with the performance leading into footage of the new game, I'll crap myself. I know that's a long shot, but still.

Good to know that the orchestra will be playing as Nintendo unveils the new Retro-developed Zelda.

I'd rather have StarTropics.

I have an unscheduled fishing trip or two with a Houston friend being discussed, maybe I can make some magic happen and involve this.

I wouldn't mind seeing it again (even though it's pretty short).

In for the Minneapolis show -- even after the 15% discount the cheapest ticket came out to $57.50

Still worth it!
