Zelda “Symphony of the Goddesses: Master Quest” orchestra tour announced – including a London date
Nintendo has today announced a third outing for its “Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” tour, which sees tracks from the Zelda series played by a full orchestra.
This year’s instalment, titled “Master Quest” promises lots of new material, as well as the classics:
“Audiences can expect to experience new inclusions from The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, the latest 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 game play 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.”
