"Death Stranding" Strands of Harmony — A New Dimension in Game Music
Empire Entertainment’s group company SOHO Live has partnered with Kojima Productions to bring Death Stranding to the stage in a way never seen before. “Strands of Harmony,” the official concert experience, reimagines the haunting, cinematic world created by legendary game creator Hideo Kojima as a live musical journey.
Debuting at the iconic Sydney Opera House, the production features a full orchestra and choir performing Ludvig Forssell’s original score and selections from the most memorable music of the series by Woodkid and Low Roar, all synchronized with stunning visuals from the game. The result is a fully immersive experience that draws audiences into the emotional and mysterious world of Death Stranding — a story of connection brought to life through live music and immersive visuals. More than just a performance, the tour offers a shared space for fans to reconnect — with the world of Death Stranding, and with one another.
SOHO Live led the creative development of the production from the ground up, working in close collaboration with Kojima Productions to ensure every element —musical, visual, technical, and even merchandise — remained true to the original narrative. The tour continues globally, currently scheduled to visit 20 cities across four continents.
Ina crowded field of video game concerts, Strands of Harmony stands apart— not just for its scale, but for its soul.
With strong demand and several cities already sold out, Strands of Harmony continues to expand its global tour schedule. To explore dates and ticket availability, please visit deathstrandingconcert.com
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
