Combining stunning National Geographic natural history footage with an original symphony and theme created by Emmy- and BAFTA-nominated Bleeding Fingers Music, featuring composers Hans Zimmer, Austin Fray and Andrew Christie, Symphony for Our World is a breathtaking musical journey through some of the world's most incredible wildlife spectacles.
 
Driven by a five-part composition, Symphony for Our World pairs artistry with science as it brings viewers from the depths of the sea, up to the coastlines, onto land, through mountains and into the sky. Each environment will be accompanied by a different orchestral movement, resulting in a powerful musical tribute to the beauty and wonders of our wild world.
 
"National Geographic has inspired generations to explore, understand and protect our world. Bringing this type of storytelling to life in symphony is an incredible honor," said Jason Michael Paul, President of Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc. "We're bringing together everything I've learned from over 20 years in music production with National Geographic to create something truly special."
 
"We're excited to share the breathtaking beauty of our world in this unique symphonic format with our partner Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc., a prominent leader in film orchestra projects," said Rosa Zeegers, Executive Vice President, Consumer Products and Experiences at National Geographic Partners.
 
"Combining 130 years of National Geographic's stunning visual storytelling with original music from award-winning composers will bring the story of our planet to life in a truly special way for audiences all over the world."
