Concert Special, featuring The Las Vegas Philharmonic,
Will be Taped for Public Television
Tickets on Sale Feb. 23
Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda” symphony concert series will come to Las Vegas, on its latest tour “Master Quest.” The show, which celebrates the beloved 28-year-old video game franchise, will make this world tour stop on June 10, at The Venetian Theatre.
The Las Vegas Philharmonic will perform orchestral arrangements of music from the games of “The Legend of Zelda” universe, accompanied by video content from the games themselves.
The Las Vegas concert will be taped for a national music special scheduled to air at a later date on Public Television and AXS TV.
This new concert series will tour across the United States, Asia and Europe in 2015 as The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess – Master Quest, and will feature music and images from Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda’s” most recent game releases.
“How beautiful to see an art form revived,” said a review in the Vancouver Observer. “The symphony is not a dying venue for aging minds but a potent way to communicate emotions via technology.”
Nintendo has teamed up with Jason Michael Paul Productions, Inc. to provide video game fans with the ultimate musical experience for “The Legend of Zelda.” The highlight of this new musical program is a full four-movement symphony that will guide fans through a musical retelling of key chapters from “The Legend of Zelda” franchise. The multimedia show will pair iconic music and gorgeous visuals from classic Zelda titles, as well as the newest game in the series, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the Nintendo 3DS.
“We realize that ‘The Legend of Zelda’ fans are all over the world, and we want to bring this multimedia experience to them, too,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Game music, especially game music as iconic as Zelda, is wonderful because no matter what language or country, it’s familiar for everyone to enjoy.”
“Master Quest will surprise and delight ‘The Legend of Zelda’ concert newcomers as well as faithful followers,” said Jason Michael Paul- President Jason Michael Paul Productions, Inc. “It features the same quintessential images and songs best known from The Legend of Zelda franchise, but with the addition of never before seen or heard performances.”
