Anyone else going or has ever been there? How did you like? I am quite excited!

For those of you having no clue what I am even talking about:

Does this actually belong in off topic?

They came to a theater pretty close to me once but tickets were between 1-200 dollars so I couldn't go

I actually saw their concert in Baltimore Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. I absolutely LOVED it. Marin Alsop (the conductor of the BSO) was fantastic and she seemed to really enjoy conducting that music! Makes me happy to see a famous conductor enjoy video game music!

My friends and I took our time to leave the venue, and as we were getting out the show's producer showed up. I asked him for an autograph and he happily obliged.

Welllllll I can tell you that it's better than the Pokemon show. At least I enjoyed it more. I think it's worth it if you're a big fan of the series. Last time my husband came along and he enjoyed it even though he had no idea what the music was :D

Wait... You mean there are people that are actually no fans of the zelda-series?!

+1 for your husband.

Depends on the venue... The place in Austin, TX is only $20 but it apparently goes up to $166 in Atlanta, GA.
Wonder how much the show in Vegas will be... That's the show I'm going to :)

I'm afraid up until the current tour they've toured conductors. You likely saw Susie Benchasil Seiter conducting (dark haired). She was a big fan of Marin Alsop so that might have come up in her spiel. If it was a blonde woman you would have seen Eimear Noone, who was the tour's original conductor. Both are fantastic. Susie is now conducting the Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions concerts to which I was so graciously offered to be at a rehearsal for, and I even got to sit with Chad and another student from my area and peruse the score while the PSO was rehearsing.

The premiere in Nashville saw the use for the first time in the show's history of hometown conductors, and the NSO's assistant conductor led the orchestra and chorus. Unfortunately I will likely not be attending when it returns to Pittsburgh, as I am somewhat friends with Jeron and Chad and I'm a little disappointed at how things shook down with that tour. Musicians and video editors have a right to their material, and sadly those rights appear to have been infringed by the production company now touring SotG, using Chad's and Jeron's concept and material without their permission. As a musician myself I would be angered if someone tried to perform my material without my permission.

I plan on being fairly active as I am a musician and more importantly a VGM fan. I've done transcriptions from Symphony of the Goddesses and am currently working on some from Symphonic Evolutions. Namely the ones that have the digital renderings on YouTube already.

I don't know if I've ever gotten a more pleasant surprise than when I found the Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony CD thingy inside the case with Skyward Sword a few years ago. I'm not sure what I've logged more hours into, the game or the CD...

Indeed, the CD is pretty awesome. Hope this tour will be even awesomererer!
