NEW YORK (AP) — If you can’t get to Westeros, don’t fret: It’s coming to a town near you next year. Or, at least the music is.
“Game of Thrones” composer Ramin Djawadi said Monday he’s putting together a 28-city tour across North America, using a full orchestra and choir to illustrate some favorite scenes from the show that will be broadcast on LED screens for fans.
“I wanted something that takes you beyond just watching an orchestra play. I wanted to have an immersive experience,” he said from Los Angeles before a fan event. He hopes to create an event he called “epic” and “involved.”
Djawadi, who also wrote the Grammy-nominated score for “Iron Man,” has always championed little-known instruments and vowed to do the same on the “Game of Thrones” tour, highlighting things like the glass harmonica, duduk and dulcimer.
“I think it will be very exciting and very interesting for the audience to not only hear the music again and have the music experience but also to actually see actual players perform with these instruments that they may not even know what they look like,” he said.
Djawadi, not wanting to reveal too many features of the Live Nation-produced tour, said the stage’s design will employ state-of-theart technology, and there will be “things happening onstage that will enhance the musical experience.”
