Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert audiences are immersed in a two-hour special with a live orchestra that brings the show's iconic musical score to life, in PERFECT HARMONY with highlights and favorite moments from all three seasons of the series. Two conductors will split duties throughout the tour including Emily Marshall, who is also the Musical Director, and Associate Conductor Heidi Joosten. Taiko and erhu will share the spotlight with violins and clarinets, while the series' most beloved scenes play out on a full-size cinema screen, bringing viewers into the Avatar world to experience the series' most memorable moments with Aang, Katara, Toph, Sokka, Zuko and more.

The creative mastermind behind the original music for the Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series, Emmy Award-winning composer and musician Jeremy Zuckerman, has teamed up with Jeff Adams (the show's original editor) to expand and visualize the series' original compositions for the concert experience, all with the support of show co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. This spectacular production not only magnifies the epic scope and high drama of the series, but also marks a thrilling first for fans offering an opportunity to experience the captivating world of Avatar: The Last Airbender through this live orchestra concert.

“It’s been incredibly satisfying and moving to see the audiences’ emotional response to these concerts. To be a part of that atmosphere is a uniquely beautiful experience. I’m overjoyed that many more people - ATLA fans both new and old - will get to experience the show during this wider tour,” said Zuckerman.

Honored with a Peabody Award and Primetime Emmy, along with multiple Annie Awards and Genesis Awards, Nickelodeon's Avatar: The Last Airbender emerged from its three-season run (61 episodes), from February 2005 to July 2008, as one of the most beloved animated properties in history. In 2021, Nickelodeon announced the launch of Avatar Studios, a new division designed to create original content spanning animated series and movies based on the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

The animated series' success has also spawned a companion podcast, Avatar: Braving the Elements, currently in its third season, and a remastered soundtrack from series (and tour) composer, Jeremy Zuckerman, now out on digital and vinyl. The property has also been translated into several bestselling book series, which continue to roll out new original stories. The graphic novel series has sold over three million copies, and the young adult novels have spent 25 total weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and have over 700,000 copies in print.
