An 18-piece orchestra will bring the music of the Nickelodeon show to life while showing the greatest hits from the series.
An 18-piece orchestra will perform the music of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” live with tour stops at the Fox Performing Arts Center in Riverside on Friday, Nov. 15/Tuesday, Nov. 26, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa on Sunday, Nov. 17, the San Diego Civic Theatre on Thursday, Nov. 21 and the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, Nov. 22 and Saturday, Nov. 23.
“It’s a big show, and the music’s beautiful,” said Emily Marshall, music director and conductor for Avatar the Last Airbender in Concert. “I fell in love with the show the first time I performed it for the U.S. premieres in California and New York. People come in and get so excited because they don’t know what they will hear or see next. It gets the crowd going differently than I’ve ever seen with other projects I’ve been a part of.

In 2021, GEA Live reached out to Zuckerman about doing a live rendition of the show. He and his assistant, orchestrator and arranger Brian Herald, then got to work rewatching all 61 episodes on their own time and taking notes on the most pivotal narrative scenes of the series. Herald was then tasked with rebuilding recording sessions that were 18 years old and stopped functioning over time.
He also used the pipa, a pear-shaped wooden plucking instrument and the guzheng, a Chinese zither, which have both become signatures in the series associated with emotional undertones within a character’s story arc. Although marketed as a kids’ show for ages six to 11, the series contains many universal themes, such as love and acceptance, that shine through complex subjects such as war, genocide and death.
