Kingdom Hearts Orchestral Tour Comes To The U.S. Next Month

There are already a number of outstanding video game orchestra music tours making the rounds right now, including The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, as well as the always enjoyable Video Games Live. But next month, one that will cater specifically to fans of a popular Square Enix brand will make its way stateside, and bring all the magic we've come to expect from the series.

Following its international tour across Tokyo, Paris and London this past month, the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour will make its way to the United States starting next month, with shows taking place on June 10th, 11th and 14th at the Dolby Theater – during the week of the Electronic Entertainment Expo – and on June 23rd and 24th at the United Palace Theater in New York.

"Fans and music lovers alike will soon be able to enjoy the first-ever official concert of the Kingdom Hearts video game series. From the music to the HD video and syncing, the show will feature a selection of the saga's best and most beloved music from the original soundtrack," the company noted in a press statement. "The concert features more than 100 orchestral musicians and choir singers on stage, with amazing HD video cinematics supervised by director Tetsuya Nomura. Additionally, the tour celebrates the 15th anniversary of the multi-million selling video game series and the upcoming release of its latest episode."

Additionally, there will be other events taking place during the concert, including composer Yoko Shinomura being in attendance. Those that are interested can purchase 1 of 150 available VIP tickets for a meet and greet with her, where they'll be able to get an autograph and picture. Merchandise will also be available for purchase, and a special CD featuring live performances from previous shows can be purchased here, though they're currently only available for overseas markets. (A U.S. release should be available following the latest tour stops.)

Those interested in tickets can get them from Ticketmaster (for Los Angeles) and New York (Ticketfly) now. There are no more tour stops announced at this time, but considering the franchise's popularity, it's only a matter of time before we get some!
