Symphonic Fantasies concert on September 12th - Live video streaming!

[Tetsujin]

So you may or may not have heard about the Symphonic Fantasies concert in Oberhausen and Cologne, Germany on September 11th and 12th.

This concert is dedicated to Square-Enix and music from Kingdom Hearts, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger/Chrono Cross as well as Final Fantasy will be performed by the WDR radio orchestra and choir.

Arnie Roth will conduct the performances and the composers Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Shimomura, Yasunori Mitsuda and Hiroki Kikuta will attend the concert as well as join an autograph session before the concert.

For those who can't attend the concert (which means all of you except me ) there will be a live video stream of the performance in Cologne on September 12th. The concert starts at 8pm (GMT+1).

You can find the links to the live streams on the official site:

There's also a couple of video messages by Arnie Roth as well as the track list (not complete, the complete set list won't be revealed until the concert begins).

Also, they'll play Clash on the Big Bridge. Fuck yeah.

So I've attended the concert on Saturday and it was EPIC. Lots of awesome arrangements. The FF section cleverly teased people eagerly awaiting One-Winged Angel and when they did play it...well, you certainly haven't heard it like this before xD

Here's the link to the youtube video playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYq5NOj23BQ&feature=PlayList&p=F3CD4770BEE9E1C7&index=0&playnext=1

The live video and audio recordings are also available for download somewhere on the webz.
You should definitely check this out.

Also, I got autographs from all four composers. My nerd heart is happy.

ooo videos.

Edit: That was quite awesome. Same old same old, but they re-composed bits into a smooth whole and stuff. The percussionist's a nice touch too, and he was rather leet.

I thought he went on a bit too long tbh. Big show off.

Whole concert was awesome though

Wow. Uematsu and Mitsuda at the same concert? Pretty darn cool.
