“Avatar: The Last Airbender In Concert” is coming to the Peoria Civic Center Theater for a show at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 23. The performance will meld iconic scenes from the series with music from a live orchestra.

"It’s been incredibly satisfying and moving to see the audiences’ emotional response to these concerts, and to be a part of that atmosphere is a uniquely beautiful experience,” said Jeremy Zuckerman, the composer and musician who created the music for the original show.
