'''''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-''''' is an official orchestral concert of ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' music performed by a full orchestra. It is the first orchestral concert and first world tour for the series's music. It was created for the 15th anniversary of the series.
 
The concert was announced on the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Japanese Twitter page<ref>[https://twitter.com/_KINGDOMHEARTS/status/725521469342511104 Twitter Announcement of ''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-]</ref> on April 26, 2016. A [https://www.facebook.com/KingdomHeartsOrchestra/ Facebook page] and website were created to promote the concert. The concert premiered on March 10, 2017 in Tokyo, Japan.
 
On March 1, 2018, an encore concert tour was announced, with 18 performances worldwide, including two in São Paulo, Brazil. Additionally, plans for performances in 2019 to celebrate the release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' were also revealed.<ref>[http://www.wildfaery.com/info/index.php/en/kingdomhearts2018 Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- Encore! - La Fée Sauvage]</ref>
==Development==
According to both series director {{w|Tetsuya Nomura}} and series music composer {{w|Yoko Shimomura}}, the idea for concerts based on the music of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series had been discussed for a long time. Yoko Shimomura created a rough draft of the concert program, which Tetsuya Nomura checked and accepted. Unlike the ''Concert -First Breath-'' performances, all the performances for ''Orchestra -World Tour-'' have videos from the games that accompany each musical piece—with the exception of "[[Twinkle Twinkle Holidays]]", which did not feature a video.<ref>'''Interview with Tetsuya Nomura and Yoko Shimomura, 29 November 2016''', part of the ''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-'' Program Guide</ref>  
 
As part of the announcement of the concert, both Nomura and Shimomura released statements:
 
{{Q|The idea of a KINGDOM HEARTS concert has been in the works for several years, but even so, I was astonished to learn that our music would be performed by a full orchestra, in other countries no less. I've been given the opportunity to oversee the creation of the title, logo, and many other aspects of this amazing production, and as the director of the series, I am confident that what we've created will touch the hearts of our beloved fans everywhere.<br><br>The World Tour is slated for 2017, the same year as the KINGDOM HEARTS 15th anniversary. In the meantime, fans will get a chance to explore the world of KINGDOM HEARTS II.8, which is coming out later this year. I hope the excitement and joy they get from the experience will only increase their anticipation for the release of KINGDOM HEARTS III.|Tetsuya Nomura}}
 
{{Q|I heard this quite often, and it echoed my own feelings. I've wanted to have a concert for some time, and I'm happy to announce that it's finally become a reality. When I began composing for the KINGDOM HEARTS series, I couldn't even dream this day would come. But it has, thanks to our beloved fans. This concert and the music of KINGDOM HEARTS could not have existed without their undying support. I can't thank them enough. The concert will encompass my feelings toward the series and those dear to me around the world. I look forward to seeing everyone there!|Yoko Shimomura}}
 
==Performances==
During the initial announcement in 2017, eleven performances were announced. The positive reaction to the announcement prompted the creation of four additional performances: May 13 in Kuala Lumpur, June 11 in Los Angeles, June 23 in New York, and July 8 in Osaka. The Hong Kong performance was originally scheduled for May 28, 2017 at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Shanghai, but was moved to Hong Kong on April 14.<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FKingdomHeartsOrchestra%2Fposts%2F343142316084188 Facebook Announcement moving Shanghai performance to Hong Kong]</ref>

==Program==
The performance is approximately two hours long, and features seventeen pieces of musical arrangements from the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. The musical pieces were performed by a full orchestra and were accompanied by gameplay footage from all the games. Additionally, the performances featured segments considered canon to the series, including conversations by Kairi, Xion, and Aqua, performed by their Japanese voice actors on-stage. The Tokyo performance on March 11 first featured the conversations by performances of Kairi, Xion, and Aqua's voice actors; subsequent performances featured only the audio with translated subtitles on-screen. The Los Angeles performance on June 10, which coincided with the beginning of E3 2017 in Los Angeles, also premiered a new trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]''.


{|width="100%" style="border:3px solid darkred; padding:5px; background:#f6e9c5; overflow:hidden; border-radius: 10px; text-align:center;"
The 2018 performances added three songs, with "Dearly Beloved -χ Back Cover Ver.-" replacing "Dearly Beloved -KINGDOM HEARTS II Ver.-" and "Traverse Town" replacing "Twinkle Twinkle Holidays". "Toy Box Medley" is the first public performance of a theme from ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
