For those who appreciate anime/game music, or contemporary orchestra music, check this out:
Also coming to Singapore for the first time!! Go to the link at the bottom of this post for more details.
Anyone going to this? If you remember their last concert A Night in Fantasia 2006, this is run by the same group of dedicated musicians smile.gif Keep in mind that they are all-Australian, they are NOT hired musicians, they are the actual orchestra themselves who are passionate about bringing music to us (the younger generation).
Performed by a small ensemble, consisting of violins, percussion, guitar and piano, ‘Passion’ will feature the unique and innovative arrangements of memorable themes from games such as Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Tsubasa Chronicle, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII, Xenosaga, Haibane Renmei, Shadow of the Colossus, Super Mario Bros., .hack//Liminality and many more.
To add even more excitement and wonderment, well-known video game composer Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono series, Xenogears) will not only be attending as a guest of honour, but will also be playing the bouzouki on a select number of tracks. Also to be in attendence at the Sydney show, will be Hitoshi Sakimoto (Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics)
All attendees will have the chance to meet these composers at a special meet and greet session free of charge!
Passion is part of a range of smaller concerts held by Eminence, featuring ensembles instead of large-scale orchestras. They are much cheaper, more a casual (but classy) night out with your mates. Give it a go!
