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.Source:
