I'm sure many of you have heard about the concert held around e3 showcasing Nobuo Uematsu's work from the Final Fantasy games. Well, It's coming to Chicago.
This is from Square Enix's web site:
SQUARE ENIX, INC. is very proud to present the premiere of the FINAL FANTASYŽ symphony concert series on Saturday, February 19, 2005, at the plush Rosemont Theatre in Rosemont, Illinois. The concert, to be performed by the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra and the CPO Festival Choir, will be the first in a series of long awaited concerts in North America featuring award-winning music from Square Enix's world-renowned FINAL FANTASY video game series.
Building upon the success of the 2002 FINAL FANTASY concert held in Japan, Square Enix announced a six-city, seven-show tour of Japan titled "Tour de Japon - Music from FINAL FANTASY-," for 2004. The first stateside concert, "Dear Friends -Music from FINAL FANTASY-," followed on May 10, 2004 at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, CA and sold out in three days. It featured music from Square Enix's world-renowned FINAL FANTASY video game series, performed by the acclaimed Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Master Chorale. The positive reception of this performance gave rise to the U.S. concert series beginning next year.
The 2-hour program produced by Uematsu, will be conducted by Grammy award winning Arnie Roth, music director and principal conductor of the Chicagoland Pops. Outstanding graphics will tie memorable moments from the video games along with the scores on massive screens during the performance.
I don't have any clue if I'm gonna go, but this should be one concert not to miss out on. If you're in the Chicago area and you love Uematsu's work, this could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. For more info visit here: http://www.square-enix-usa.com/uematsu/concert/index.html# |

Gaaah! Why can't we be living back in IL right now instead of stupid North Dakota? Nothing good ever comes to this putrid state. |

I went to the LA concert and it was an awesome experience. 
I would have liked to make it to the SF concert as well if I knew they were playing new music, but it seems (according to the pattern shown with the Chicago concert) that they will be playing all the same music during the "Dear Friends" tour. This isn't a bad thing; it would still be awesome to partake in once more, but not when I live all the way down in Ventura. I've driven non-stop up to the SF area before, but...let's just say my last driving experience wasn't so good.
Anyway, for those of you going, have fun!  |
