National Geographic: Symphony for Our World to Kick Off North American Leg of World Tour in L.A. on Oct. 27

National Geographic and Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc. are presenting the all-new and dazzling National Geographic: Symphony for Our World, which thrilled audiences with a special sold-out preview in San Francisco on Earth Day, April 22. The North American leg of the worldwide tour kicks off in Los Angeles on October 27 at Hollywood's iconic Dolby Theatre. Four additional previews before the October 27 start date will be performed in Austin, TX, U.S. and Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne, Australia.

Symphony for Our World combines stunning natural history footage with an original symphony and theme created by Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated Bleeding Fingers Music, featuring composers Austin Fray and Andrew Christie. The program is a breathtaking musical journey through some of the world's most incredible wildlife spectacles, giving audience members a unique opportunity to revel in the majesty of nature and witness first-hand accounts from legendary National Geographic explorers - including marine biologist Dr. Sylvia Earle and contributing photographer and founder of the National Geographic Photo Ark Joel Sartore. With groundbreaking imagery and storytelling from 130 years of beloved National Geographic history matched in perfect synchronization with a live orchestra and choir, this show for music, nature, film, art, and entertainment lovers is perfect for people and families of all ages.

"This symphony is a breathtaking way to experience National Geographic alongside gorgeous original music created by world-renowned composers," said Jason Michael Paul, CEO of Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc. "We are honored to collaborate with so many amazing artists to create something truly special."

"After the sold-out preview in San Francisco, we're excited to continue to share with the world the incredible beauty of our wild planet through this new symphonic experience," said Yulia Boyle, Senior Vice President Global Media & Experiences at National Geographic Partners. "At National Geographic, we believe that our unparalleled visual storytelling can profoundly impact and inspire people of all ages to care about our planet. Our yellow border serves as a portal to gain new insight into the farthest reaches of the earth and beyond."
