Released in 2015, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt significantly elevated the fantasy action-RPG genre to unprecedented heights. Now, CD Projekt Red, the renowned publisher, has partnered with RoadCo Entertainment and GEA Live to bring a captivating “The Witcher in Concert” tour across the United States.
Heidi Joosten will conduct the musical performances for this extensive tour, which is scheduled to visit 45 cities beginning on August 30. The ensemble, comprising 15 musicians, will feature the Polish folk metal band Percival Schuttenbach on stage alongside Joosten. Attendees can look forward to a specially arranged rendition of The Witcher 3`s iconic score, meticulously crafted by Paulina Porszke and Nikola Kołodziejczyk under the watchful eye of the game’s co-composer, Marcin Przybyłowicz.
This unique concert experience will blend the orchestral music with stunning in-game cinematics and other “immersive visuals,” transporting the audience back to Geralt of Rivia’s “bold, emotional journey across the Continent.” Tickets are currently available for purchase. The full itinerary of tour dates, cities, and venues is detailed below.
