LOS ANGELES, CA- Based on one of the most popular and beloved games 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 concert is touring North
America and is coming to Houston, TX on July 7, 2012 at Jones Hall with
the Houston Symphony.
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.
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 series, The
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, launched exclusively for the Wii™
console in November 2011, just in time for the series’ highly
anticipated 25th Anniversary celebrations.
“For
fans of Zelda and music lovers everywhere, this is a once-in-a-lifetime
treat,” notes Jason Michael Paul, CEO of Jason Michael Paul
Productions, Inc., which is producing the concert tour. “This is a
celebration of Zelda, of beautiful and heart stopping music, and of the
enduring legacy of video games,” adds Paul.
“The
love that fans feel for The Legend of Zelda series cannot be
overstated,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice
president of Sales & Marketing. “In 2012, we want to give people
