The highly acclaimed video game music concert “Heroes: A Video Game Symphony” is coming to the Belk Theater in Charlotte on October 12, 2024. The special show also will feature the world premiere of music from the PlayStation 5 exclusive “Rise of the Rōnin,” which was released in March 2024 and has already garnered critical acclaim and become one of the gaming industry’s best-selling titles of the year.
In the video game and musical score genres, few composers have garnered as much recognition as Zur. Renowned for his emotionally dynamic original music scores for blockbuster video game franchises such as “Fallout”, “Dragon Age”, “Prince of Persia”, and “The Elder Scrolls”, Emmy award-winner and three-time British Academy nominated composer Zur has created sonic landscapes that have captured the minds of gamers across the planet.
Jason Michael Paul – the producer and creator of the first stateside FINAL FANTASY concerts, The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary concerts, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concerts, and Founder of JMP Entertainment – envisioned the “Heroes” experience to take audience members on a heroes journey, as set forth by Joseph Campbell’s monomyth – a narrative framework that can be seen in many of the games, film, and books throughout history. Everyone’s story is the story of a hero, told through the amazing worlds of other heroes, in an unforgettable experience that is not to be missed.
“The fans in Charlotte deserve to hear their favorite game music performed by world class musicians,” notes Paul. “And Belk Theater is the perfect setting for the world of premiere of Zur’s remarkable score for “Rise of the Rōnin. It’s going to be an unforgettable night”
The music featured in the “Heroes” concert will pay homage to some of the gaming industry’s most iconic titles, including “World of Warcraft”, “Diablo”, “Journey”, “Portal 2”, “BioShock”, “Guild Wars 2”, “The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion”, “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim”, “Fallout 4”, “Starfield”, “Castlevania”, “Metal Gear Solid”, “Halo”, “Mass Effect”, “Dear Esther”, “God of War”, “Dragon Age”, “Shadow of the Colossus”, and more.
Zur notes, “Jason Michael Paul has created something truly special for audiences around the world; I am honored and excited to be a part of this incredible concert series.”
