Ramin Djawadi’s Game of Thrones score is beloved by fans. His other film work includes the Grammy-nominated score for Marvel’s Iron Man, Pacific Rim, Clash of the Titans and Warcraft. He also earned Emmy Award nominations for the television scores Flash Forward and Prison Break. He will also score the upcoming HBO series Westworld.
“For the past six seasons of Game of Thrones, I have been tremendously inspired to compose music to David Benioff’s and D.B. Weiss’ extraordinary adaption of George R.R. Martin’s epic A Song of Fire and Ice series,” says Ramin Djawadi in a press release. “Now, by combining the music with state of the art technology, we are going to bring the astonishing world of Westeros to fans in a live and unique concert experience.”
“For seven years, Ramin has been blowing our mind with his music’s force, subtlety, and endless inventiveness,” said Game of Thrones creators/executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss. “The GoT Concert Experience will be unique in the history of concert tours, an eye-popping, ear-splitting, phantasmagoric blend of the show’s visuals and Ramin’s powerful compositions. We are more excited for it than anyone.”
“Game of Thrones has one of the most engaged audiences in television,” said Josh Goodstadt, Vice President, HBO Global Licensing. “We can’t wait to see fans and newcomers alike immerse themselves in Ramin’s incredible music and the world of Westeros through this epic concert experience.”
“Live Nation is honored to be partners with HBO and Ramin Djawadi in bringing fans of the hit series a spectacular live experience centered around the music of Game of Thrones and performed using cutting edge technology to create a show unlike anything seen before,” says Omar Al-Joulani, SVP, North American Touring at Live Nation.
