About Symphony for our World:

  • Symphony for Our World is an inspiring 90-minute, live orchestral performance using groundbreaking imagery and storytelling from over 130 years of National Geographic history matched in perfect synchronization with an orchestra and choir.
  • The show is based on the national television broadcast of “Symphony for Our World,” that premiered globally earlier this year.
  • Driven by a five-part composition, Symphony for Our World pairs artistry with science as it brings viewers from the depths of the sea, up to the coastlines, onto land, through mountains and finally into the sky.
  • Each environment will be accompanied by a different orchestral movement, resulting in a powerful musical tribute to the beauty and wonders of our wild world.

Bringing this type of storytelling to life in symphony is an incredible honor.

  • Gary Knell, Chairman of National Geographic Partners: “Symphony for Our World has been thrilling audiences worldwide since it premiered last Earth Day.
