NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC: SYMPHONY FOR OUR WORLD Comes to Overture Center
National Geographic and Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc., today announced an all-new tour for National Geographic: Symphony for Our World, which will visit Madison on Saturday, March 30, 2019, at 8 p.m. Symphony for Our World combines stunning National Geographic natural history footage with an original symphony and theme created by Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated by Bleeding Fingers Music, performed live by a full orchestra and chorus provided by The Madison Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Featuring composers Austin Fray and Andrew Christie, the show brings audiences a breathtaking musical journey coupled with some of the world's most incredible wildlife spectacles.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on November 23 at the Overture Center Ticket Office (201 State Street), by phone (608.258.4141) or online (overture.org). Groups of 10+ may be eligible for discounted tickets; for information, please call 608.258.4159.
The tour kicks off in March 2019 and beginning today, people can visit NatGeo-Symphony.com and register their emails to receive a presale password to buy tickets before the general public. Presale tickets will be available beginning November 13 when passwords will be emailed to all registered customers.
The inspiring 90-minute, live orchestral performance uses groundbreaking imagery and storytelling from over 130 years of National Geographic history matched in perfect synchronization with Madison Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The show is based on the national television broadcast of "Symphony for Our World," an hour-long special that premiered globally earlier this year in 140 countries, commercial-free, on Nat Geo WILD.
Driven by a five-part composition, Symphony for Our World pairs artistry with science as it brings viewers from the depths of the sea, up to the coastlines, onto land, through mountains and finally into the sky. Each environment will be accompanied by a different orchestral movement, resulting in a powerful musical tribute to the beauty and wonders of our wild world.
"National Geographic has inspired generations to explore, understand and protect our world. Bringing this type of storytelling to life in symphony is an incredible honor," said Jason Michael Paul, President of Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc. "We're bringing together everything I've learned from over 20 years in music production with National Geographic to create something truly special."
"Symphony for Our World has been thrilling audiences worldwide since it premiered last Earth Day," said Gary Knell, Chairman of National Geographic Partners. "The show embodies our commitment to inspire people to care about the planet, now. We are happy to be bringing it to audiences in North America. Our partner, Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc., has done a phenomenal job bringing National Geographic's 130 years of storytelling to life in a new, incredibly moving format that enables audiences to better understand the world and their place in it."
