“The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses played a major role in popularizing symphonic video game live shows, especially in the United States."
Nina Corcoran
Established in 2003, JMP Entertainment is a pioneer and leader in the live symphonic concert industry, producing and managing concerts and events for leading international artists, and entertainment companies, including a series of officially licensed films with orchestra concerts that make music come to life.
JMP Entertainment’s founder, Jason Michael Paul, is the producer and creator of the first stateside FINAL FANTASY concerts, Play! A Video Game Symphony concerts, The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary concerts, The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concerts, and National Geographic’s Symphony for Our World concerts. JMP’s latest production, Heroes: A Video Game Symphony, is currently on tour.
“I was lucky enough to see this incredible production during its first tour in 2012, and it was without a doubt the ultimate experience for any Zelda fan.”
Joe Corbett
In 2024, JMP Entertainment is celebrating its 20th anniversary since its inaugural video game music concert series with Dear Friends: Music from FINAL FANTASY. Over two decades, Paul has produced over 300 films with orchestra concerts. With prescient vision, he realized that if philharmonic regulars set aside their preconceived notions about gaming culture, they could appreciate the rich musical virtuosity and magic of video game soundtracks. Now, countless gaming and music fans around the world can experience the genius and wonder of JMP’s productions.
In 2004, JMP brought the first concert featuring music and visuals from FINAL FANTASY to the United States. More recently, Nintendo asked JMP to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their AAA series with a concert featuring the music from The Legend of Zelda. The success of those shows spawned a worldwide touring sensation with The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Second Quest and Master Quest.
“…the audience and the musicians never lost focus. Paul knows his stuff; the composers and arrangers had created a dramatic rendering with a sensitive ear for fans’ favorites.”
