I was able to purchase tickets to the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony of the Goddesses concert today and am so excited!!! This will be our first Nintendo sponsored event that we will be attending, and are really looking forward to it -- too bad we have to wait until July for the concert to get to our area (and even then it is still 4 hours away)!
Usually the Nintendo events that we want to attend are on the West Coast and since we are on the East Coast, they are an (expensive) no-go, but this time we lucked out and can't wait to see the performance. From reviews I have read, the concert is a wonderful experience -- I'm looking forward to the orchestra playing (I used to be in one myself long time ago),
and my son is of course looking forward to hearing the music and seeing the Zelda footage on the giant screens that will be on display during the concert. The venue where they are having it has good reviews too, and we opted for lawn seats, as you can bring your own food and drink and have a nice picnic while you enjoy the concert.
Here is some footage that someone posted on YouTube who attended one of the concerts earlier this year:
Below is short description of the concert from one of the venues:
“The Legend of Zelda™: Symphony of the Goddesses” is the first ever video game themed concert to feature a complete 4 movement symphony, showcasing the work of Nintendo composer and sound director Koji Kondo.
Witness 25 years of video game history unfolding complete with gorgeous and cinematic video presentation, synced to picture with the game’s sensational, thematic and action-packed music played live by a full symphony orchestra.
