Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy Concert Dates
Square Enix has just announced the upcoming concert dates for Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy. They have quite an interesting song listing for these concerts, and Nobuo Uematsu himself is even playing at the shows! The upcoming shows are as follows:
October 8th, 2009: Vancouver, Canada
This performance is the Canadian Debut of the concert series, and will feature the Vancouver Symphony and UBC Opera Ensemble at the Orpheum Theatre. The show will include the North American premiere performance of the Final Fantasy VII: Main Theme! Details and tickets can be obtained at vancouversymphony.ca.
December 12th, 2009: Rosemont, IL, USA (Dubbed as the Chicago Show)
This exciting show is to feature the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra, Elmhurst College Concert Choir, and Susan Calloway, conducted by maestro Arnie Roth. Best of all, Nobuo Uematsu will play the B3 organ with the Chicago Mages! The show will contain North American Premieres, World Premieres, and works never heard outside of Japan! New arrangements of Dancing Mad and J-E-N-O-V-A will be debuted at this show. Details and tickets can be found at ticketmaster.com.
February 5th/6th, 2010: Seoul, South Korea
This one includes the Korean Symphony. South Korea's spectacular Seoul Arts Center will be the host of these performances, with Nobuo Uematsu in attendance for both shows. For more information visit ffdistantworlds.com/seoul.
I just keep on wondering how long it will take for them to make people grow tired of FF concerts. There is so much good game music out there that it's such a shame that most of the concerts are solely on the FF stuff.
If they came to Toronto, I would definitely try to go. There are not enough of these shows to go and enjoy, and they are never near me!
