(Los Angeles, CA) June 12, 2012 – Based on one of the most popular and beloved games of all time, “The Legend of Zelda™: Symphony of the Goddesses” is a spectacular concert tour featuring live orchestral performances of theme music from Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise. The concert is touring North America and has added new performance dates: Pittsburgh with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at Heinz Hall on July 27 and 28, San Jose at the San Jose Civic on September 7, Boston with the Rhode Island Philharmonic at The Wang Theatre on October 18, Chicago at The Chicago Theatre on October 25 and New York City with the Rhode Island Philharmonic at The Theater at MSG on November 28. Described by critics as “white hot” and “on steroids,” the Rhode Island Philharmonic, which is an exceptional ensemble that has performed with world renowned classical and popular artists, will be touring other dates in the northeast with “Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses.”

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™. Eímear Noone will conduct the full orchestra 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 is The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which launched exclusively for the Wii™ console in November 2011.

“The national tour for this special Zelda concert has been a resounding success and a once-in-a-lifetime event for fans across the country,” notes Jason Michael Paul, CEO of Jason Michael Paul Productions, which is producing the concert tour. “We are thrilled to bring the performance to the beautiful cities of Pittsburgh, San Jose, Boston, Chicago, and New York.”

Beyond the newly added shows, even more dates will be announced soon.
