Here's the program:

REDMOND, Wash. – Dec. 2, 2014 – “The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” concert series is back with a third installment of multimedia shows to be toured worldwide, entitled “Master Quest.” This latest edition of the “The Legend of Zelda” symphony will add brand new music and visuals from recent and upcoming The Legend of Zelda games, but will maintain the beloved experience fans have come to expect as it embarks on a world tour.

Based on one of the most popular and beloved video game series of all time, the tour features live orchestral performances of theme music from Nintendo’s 28-year-old The Legend of Zelda franchise that will serve to introduce newcomers to the music and themes of the Zelda games and give long-time fans a chance to celebrate their favorite moments in the franchise. The newly announced dates include:

○ Nashville, Schermerhorn Symphony Center; January 21, 22

○ Honolulu, Concert Hall; January 30

○ Tokyo, Tokyo International Forum; February 7

○ Boston, Symphony Hall; February 27

○ Monterrey, Arena Monterrey; March 6

○ Mexico City, Arena de Ciudad; March 8

○ Toronto, Sony Center PAC; March 20

○ Stockholm, Ericsson Globe; April 16

Audiences can expect to experience awesome new inclusions from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the most recently released game in the series for Nintendo 3DS, and new music from the recently announced remake of fan-favorite The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. These never before performed scores accompanied by new gameplay imagery will appear for the first time ever in “Master Quest,” though fans will still be treated to the show’s now-classic repertoire from seasons past.

The name Symphony of the Goddesses refers not only to the concert program but also to the 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 performance also will highlight orchestral renditions of music from The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Concerts will be performed by full orchestra and choir in world class venues throughout the world.

“The continued excitement around The Legend of Zelda franchise is amazing, and this special concert will deliver an unforgettable experience for fans,” notes Jason Michael Paul, President of Jason Michael Paul Productions, Inc, which is producing the concert tour. “These performances transcend culture and geography and unite people through a common love for this venerable and legendary series.”

Guests will enjoy their favorite moments from the now 28-year-old series, carefully and beautifully timed with a gorgeous orchestral score approved by Nintendo sound director and Zelda franchise composer Koji Kondo. The concert is a festive experience for all walks of fans, many of which attend “cosplaying” as their favorite characters.

[ZeroX03]

Why can't Europe mean Australia too like for game releases

 

[JordanKZ]

I went to the one last year in London when it was at the Apollo... I actually may go again.

 

[L~A]

It is the same "second tour" that was called Second Quest in North America or is it a new one?

Should be the same thing.

By the way, looks like it's a WW tour, not just Europe.

 

[theaface]

Would LOVE to go to this. It says the London tickets are on sale but I'm not having any joy when I click through?

Edit: Says on sale Friday

 

[BY2K]

Should be the same thing.

By the way, looks like it's a WW tour, not just Europe.

So it IS a new one.

EDIT: Montreal, wooooo!

 

[FreedomFighter]

Need a tracklist. I went to Symphony of the Goddess twice when it was in Philly so I'd like some new material.

 

[Hot Coldman]

£65 for decent seats. ;_;

 

[oti]

Why Düsseldorf? What's so bad about Hamburg? I have to go!

 

[L~A]

So it IS a new one.

EDIT: Montreal, wooooo!

Well, are you talking about the content or the tour itself?

Looks like more a continuation, since the last one was also called Master Quest, iirc.

 

[Hisoka]

HNNNNGHHHH

Austria is NOT Europe confirmed

 

[Shaanyboi]

...screw it, I'll go again.

 

[DryvBy]

I'm so going to the Nashville one.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

I'm kind of glad it's hours away from me so I can save some money.

Would love a general Nintendo tour.

 

[kubus]

Great! They're in Tokyo when I'm in Europe and they're in Europe when I'm in Tokyo.

Oh well, I already went the first time in London.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Went to the one in Toronto last year. Was a good time. They had some surprises like Dragon roost island, spirit tracks and majoras mask movements

 

[Tenki]

Well, of course they're not coming to Spain.

 

[TheMoon]

Took a break in 2014. Returns 2015, tours throughout the whole year. Yea Zelda is totally not coming out this year, guys. lol

 

[Akzel]

I'll buy them day 1 for Montréal !! =D

 

[Aostia]

Finally, they are coming in Italy too, and even in Milan!!!

 

[BGBW]

Wembley? Oh come on! Use a venue that will charge a good price, like the pub around the corner of my house.

Went to the last one thanks to fellow GAFer radioheadrule83.

They just need to confirm that they'll play all the "B-side" tunes of the Zelda series i.e. not the field theme over and over again and I may consider going again.

For example an operatic rendition of this.

 

[Luigi87]

Back to Toronto.
I saw the first one, and missed out on Second Quest, I believe I would like to go see Master Quest.

 

[Shahed]

Wembley huh? Tempting. I just thave the feeling I'll be busy at that time. if only it was May instead

 

[DoubleYou]

Damn it, I have been wanting to see this for years but they keep skipping the Netherlands.

 

[forrest]

Damn and I just move out of Nashville.

 

[Wildean]

I must be the only person to read the first 8 words of the thread title and immediately jump to the conclusion that this was the new Wii U game announced in detail.

 

[TheMoon]

I must be the only person to read the first 8 words of the thread title and immediately jump to the conclusion that this was the new Wii U game announced in detail.

Which would totally happen via a random press release. lol

 

[Rafavert]

They could at leats go to Spain =( Would be cheaper than flying to London.

Didn't get to go last time. Must... resist...

I must be the only person to read the first 8 words of the thread title and immediately jump to the conclusion that this was the new Wii U game announced in detail.

You're not alone. For a moment there I thought it was big news.

 

[Kandinsky]

No SA, not surprised tho D:

 

[BY2K]

Symphony of the Goddesses would actually be a sick title for Zelda Wii U.

 

[L~A]

Symphony of the Goddesses would actually be a sick title for Zelda Wii U.

True, Zelda games have always had some sort of musical influence/theme. Makes me wonder what the instrument will be in Zelda U, provided there's one.

 

[Firemind]

Damn it, I have been wanting to see this for years but they keep skipping the Netherlands.

Düsseldorf is like a two hour drive, mate.

 

[Mtheads]

Well, are you talking about the content or the tour itself?

Looks like more a continuation, since the last one was also called Master Quest, iirc.

Based on the program on the website, this is a new program. It will probably have some crossover with Second Quest, as Second Quest had some crossover with the original.

Spoiler

Second Quest also had about 5 encores that were awesome.

 

[Burgess_101]

How much are tickets usually? Would love to take my wife.

 

[Nzyme32]

Saw the London Symphony Orchestra version back at the end of 2012. It was absolutely amazing. Thoroughly recommend people check it out if they have the time and money to spare. Hope to see more game scores taken as seriously

 

[TheDarkTriforce]

Awesome

 

[L~A]

Depends on the venue, but if you buy early enough, shouldn't be too expensive.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Minneapolis am cry ;_;

Seriously, we haven't had a good video game orchestra concert in years.

 

[Dash Kappei]

OMG!!! Thank you for making the thread!
Now, how do I go about getting tickets for Milan the quickest way? I'm sure it'll sold out In a span of minutes since there's also no dates for Spain and the venue they've chosen is not that big,
Just official site a few minutes before midnight then F5 F5 F5 F5 and click click click on the Buy Tickets button?

Hope there's a PayPal option.
Do they take the money as soon as you book the ticket I guess?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

[SoraanTribal]

How much are tickets to these concerts usually? It's coming to Atlanta which isn't far from me, and I'd like to go to one of these.

I had to pay 80$ for one ticket on floor level.

Hmm okay. Shame it's not a bit cheaper but probably worth it.
