ConcernedApe and SOHO Live have announced Stardew Valley: Festival of Seasons, an “intimate and immersive” orchestral concert experience that will bring to life the calming soundscapes of Stardew Valley, in performances set to take place across the globe.
Kicking off in February 2024, this show has been produced in partnership with Stardew Valley creator and composer Eric Barone (aka ConcernedApe), with the performers at SOHO Live bringing the game’s sweeping score to life in their live show.
According to a press release, this experience is segmented into four parts – each representing one of the four seasons of the game. These seasonal soundscapes will also be buoyed by “memorable songs” featured across the game’s festivals, and in its unique locations. The songs included have been curated by Barone, with arrangements penned by Thanapol Setabrahmana, one of Thailand’s swiftly emerging conductors.
So far, tracks including Stardew Valley Overture, (Spring) The Valley Comes Alive, and Dance of the Moonlight Jellies have been announced for Festival of Seasons, with plenty of other fan-favourite tunes likely contributing to the experience.
