New Video Game Concert Series Coming Soon
The brains behind the Final Fantasy concert series Dear Friends and More Friends, JMP Productions, is in the process of putting together another similar program entitled Play! A Video Game Symphony. Select pieces from the soundtracks of various RPGs (and other genres) including The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, World of Warcraft, and the Final Fantasy series will be performed.
Play!, like the Final Fantasy concerts before it, will feature scenes from each game projected on large screens throughout the performances. The music will be conducted by music director and principal conductor of the Chicagoland Pops, Arnie Roth. As reported by 1Up.com, courtesy of Jason Michael Paul and Thomas Boeker, both organizers of the tour, Chrono series composer Yasunori Mitsuda is arranging some of the music for the program, but it is currently unknown which of his songs will be included.
Play! A Video Game Symphony will make its debut in North America April of next year, followed by a worldwide tour. More information as well as an upcoming tour schedule can be found at the concert series' official website.

| Such a shame, that such events are most likely years from coming to my little island. A glimmer of hope prehaps here, but still a distant one; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4670009.stm | |

You're in England, correct? I think there's a halfway decent chance - although I can't guarantee it - that this show'll come to your "little island" within the next year or so. After all, no world tour is complete without a stop in the UK... is it?  | |

I'd go see it, for sure. Morrowind actually had a halfway decent soundtrack. Although I can't vouch for WC, I can for Final Fantasy. It sounds solid to me, but In essence I'd just be going for the FF section of the concert  . | |
