Immerse yourself in Pandora like never before as you watch the epic film projected on a vast screen as the music is performed live.
The magic of Pandora is coming alive in concert halls across the globe. Following the successful world premiere at London's Royal Albert Hall in October 2024, Avatar Live in Concert has proven that some cinematic experiences are meant to be shared with live orchestral and choral performance.
Watching Jake Sully’s journey to Pandora while a full orchestra and choir performs James Horner’s Oscar nominated score creates a shared experience that connects everyone in the audience. The film’s themes of connection between different species and worlds feel more powerful in a room full of people, all listening and watching together talented musicians bring Pandora to life right in front of them.
This isn't just a screening with musical accompaniment. It's a different way to engage with cinema entirely. Every musical moment becomes immediate and visceral. The bioluminescent forests, floating mountains, and majestic creatures of Cameron's imagination gain new life when accompanied by music performed live, creating a bridge between the technological achievement of Cameron's filmmaking and the timeless power of live musical performance.
The immersive journey to Pandora comes to Orlando, with this cinematic experience featuring the film alongside the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra & Opera Orlando performing the score will take place at Dr Phillips Center's Walt Disney Theater on Saturday, June 2, 2026 at 7 pm.

At the heart of Avatar Live In Concert is one of cinema's most powerful musical scores. James Horner's Oscar-nominated music for the original Avatar captures both the alien beauty of Pandora and the deeply human story at the film's center.
After Horner's passing in 2015, Simon Franglen continued that musical legacy with Avatar: The Way of Water. Franglen had previously worked with Horner on the Academy Award-winning Titanic soundtrack and served as lead music arranger on the original Avatar, so he understood how to honor his predecessor's vision while expanding it for Cameron's sequel.
As Franglen said, "For a composer, there's nothing like hearing an orchestra play your music live to picture. I'm so pleased to be able to collaborate with Avex and Lightstorm to bring James Horner's score to Avatar and my score to Avatar: The Way of Water to the concert hall, so that everyone can enjoy the same thrill we get in the recording studio."
