KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra – World of Tres World Tour 2019
KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra – World of Tres musters more than 100 musicians and choir members as the Kingdom Hearts video game’s official concert tour. This year’s world tour comes on the heels of the January release of the latest in the Kingdom Hearts series, Kingdom Hearts III.
Produced by the Japanese video-game producer Square Enix and Disney Interactive, Kingdom Hearts debuted back in 2002. The series stars the hero Sora and features a whole slew of familiar characters and settings from different Disney, Pixar, and Final Fantasy realms.
The Kingdom Hearts music, composed by Yoko Shimomura, is not only intrinsic to the gameplay but its own beloved element among the series’ fans. The KINGDOM HEARTS Orchestra – World of Tres brings that music—including the new soundtrack of Kingdom Hearts III—to life in spectacular orchestral majesty, synced to scenes from the games projected on a giant screen. It’ll perform 22 concerts in 17 cities all around the world, beginning April 26th in Tokyo.
