Avatar: The Last Airbender has joined the list of films and TV shows getting the live orchestra treatment.

This winter, the beloved Nickelodeon series is getting a live concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London to celebrate its most iconic moments and characters.

Across a two-hour show, clips from all three seasons will be projected onto a big screen while an orchestra performs the backing tracks and musical scores on stage. They will be bringing to life the music of Emmy award-winning composer Jeremy Zuckerman with both classical and Asian instruments, like the taiko and erhu.

Ahead of the concert, Avatar co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko have commented on the impact of Zuckerman’s music. “Jeremy’s music is one of the most crucial ingredients in Avatar, providing the emotional backbone to the characters’ arcs and capturing the spirit of Aang’s world,” said Konietzko.

DiMartino added: “From epic action scenes to heartfelt emotional moments, Jeremy’s score was an integral part of Avatar’s storytelling. To hear his music live with an orchestra will be a truly special experience.”

Aside from the score, Avatar: The Last Airbender was celebrated upon its initial release due to its stunning visuals and emotional storyline. The series follows the story of Aang, a 12-year-old who is the last surviving Avatar of his kind, as the only one who can control earth, air, fire and water all at once, he strives to bring harmony to the spirit world with the help of friends like Katara, Sokka, and Toph.

From 2005 to 2008, the series earned much acclaim and was turned into an ongoing comics series, a prequel novel series and a less than fantastic live-action film. A new live-action series is also set to release on Netflix soon. But for now, here’s how you can get tickets to see the series in concert.
