The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses
Riverside Theater 116 W. Wisconsin Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203
Over the last decade a number of live symphony performances have popped up dedicated to the unlikely subject of video game music, but none have better material to work with than Symphony of The Goddesses, the touring tribute to the music of The Legend of Zelda. Composer Koji Kondo’s score for the original Zelda game, which he claims to have written in a day, is perhaps the best regarded in video-game history, setting a high standard that has carried through most subsequent installments in the Zelda franchise. The symphony’s current tour includes material from the latest Zelda adventure, Breath of the Wild, one of the franchise’s best yet.
