Outlander in Concert: Echoes Through the Highlands
Based on Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling novels, the television series Outlander stars Caitríona Balfe as Claire and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser. This fantastic story through time has created eight seasons of gripping television, and also led to the prequel series, Outlander: Blood of My Blood.
Beyond the show itself, the music of Outlander has become its own phenomenon, generating over 500 million streams across seven soundtracks, making it the best-selling soundtrack in the catalogue of Sony Pictures Television. Its theme, Outlander – The Skye Boat Song, has over 49 million plays.
The music was created by Emmy Award-winning composer, Bear McCreary, whose credits also include The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, The Walking Dead, God of War and Battlestar Galactica.
McCreary collaborated with executive producer and Outlander showrunner Matthew B. Roberts to bring this concert experience to life. Like Claire, you’ll travel through time across the series, witnessing your favourite moments in Scotland and beyond, and listening to a heartfelt symphony.
