About The Witcher in Concert

The Witcher franchise, born from the masterful pen of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, has captivated millions worldwide. While the novels laid the groundwork for a rich tapestry of lore, it was CD Projekt Red’s groundbreaking video game series – The Witcher, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, and the monumental The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – that catapulted the saga into global consciousness. Central to its immense success is its deeply evocative and powerfully emotional musical score, a vital component that has become as iconic as Geralt’s silver sword or Ciri’s destiny.

The music for The Witcher games is a masterful blend of orchestral grandeur, traditional folk melodies, and atmospheric soundscapes, expertly crafted to reflect the gritty realism, dark fantasy, and epic scope of the world. Composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz, Mikolai Stroinski, and Percival Schuttenbach (among others), the soundtracks have garnered widespread critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Hits like “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” a viral sensation from the Netflix series, have introduced the music to an even wider audience, but the game scores themselves boast an array of unforgettable pieces.

From the haunting beauty of “Fields of Ard Skellig” to the thunderous intensity of boss battle themes, the music perfectly captures the mood of each location and encounter. The “Geralt of Rivia” theme is instantly recognisable, a powerful and brooding anthem that embodies the stoic nature of the White Wolf. The melancholic strains of “Whispers of Cards and Wine” evoke the carefree, yet often perilous, atmosphere of the gambling dens in Novigrad, while the tribal chants and driving rhythms of the Skellige themes transport listeners to the rugged, windswept islands.

“The Witcher in Concert” is not merely a performance of these beloved tracks; it’s a celebration of the artistry that has made this world so enduring. The series of concerts has seen sold-out venues across the globe, a testament to the universal appeal of the music and the deep connection fans feel to the franchise. This is a chance to experience these potent compositions in their full glory, conducted by talented maestros and performed by a symphony orchestra and choir that bring every nuance and emotion to life. It’s an opportunity for long-time fans to relive their favourite moments and for newcomers to discover the sonic soul of The Continent.
