The conductor for the show is Wisconsin-native Heidi Joosten. Born and raised in the small town of Cameron, Joosten’s Wisconsin connections run deep. As a second-generation conductor from a family who all pursued careers in music, she was thoroughly involved in any sort of musical activity she could get her hands on growing up, both in her little neck of the woods and across the state. Joosten received her bachelor's degree in composition with a harp minor from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire in 2013, and since then, she has maintained a robust relationship with performing ensembles across the state as a commissioned composer and collaborator.
The creative mastermind behind the original music for the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” animated series, Emmy Award-winning composer and musician Jeremy Zuckerman, has teamed up with show co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko as well as Jeff Adams (the show's original editor) to expand the series original compositions for the concert series. This spectacular production not only magnifies the epic scope and high drama of the series, but also marks a thrilling first for fans offering an opportunity to experience the captivating world of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” through this live orchestra concert.
