Tokyo, Japan, October 10th, 2023 - SOHO Live, the Tokyo-based live music company specializing in creating and presenting live concerts of the most memorable video game and anime music, is excited to announce Stardew Valley: Festival Seasons, an intimate and immersive concert produced in partnership with the game’s creator and composer, Eric Barone aka ConcernedApe.
Transforming the sounds of the beloved game through a chamber orchestra, the concert program will take fans on a musical journey through the four seasons of the valley, its unforgettable festivals, and its beloved villagers.
Music that fans know and love from the game will be performed by a chamber orchestra featuring top local talent, promising an intimate performance that stays true to the relaxing vibes of the game. Each section of the show represents one of the four seasons with accompanying music from the game, plus other memorable songs from the game's locations, festivals, and villagers, carefully curated by Eric and with arrangements led by Thanapol Setabrahmana, one of Thailand’s leading young conductors.
Fans can look forward to hearing many of the game's most popular songs such as Stardew Valley Overture, (Spring) The Valley Comes Alive, and Dance of the Moonlight Jellies, plus plenty of surprises and fan-favorite deep cuts.
Eric said:
"Music is very important to me, so it's been really wonderful to see Stardew Valley's soundtrack resonate with so many people. I'm really looking forward to seeing it performed live in concert in the Festival of Seasons."
