Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY
AWR Music Productions is proud to present the official symphony concert world tour, Distant Worlds:
music from FINAL FANTASY. Launched in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of FINAL FANTASY, this
concert tour features the music of Japanese video game composer Nobuo Uematsu and is conducted
by Grammy Award-winner Arnie Roth. This multimedia experience combines stirring screen images
to match the soaring emotions of a symphony orchestra performing music from SQUARE ENIX Games'
world-renowned FINAL FANTASY video game series.
History
After the success of the 2002 FINAL FANTASY concert held in Japan, game developer SQUARE ENIX
announced a six-city, seven-show tour of Japan in 2004, entitled Tour de Japon: Music from FINAL
FANTASY. The first stateside concert, Dear Friends: music from FINAL FANTASY, followed on May 10,
2004, at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California, and sold outin three days. The LA.
show featured music from the 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 2005 U.S. concert tour of the same name. Composer Nobuo Uematsu’s award-winning
music was then featured in More Friends: music from FINAL FANTASY in Los Angeles at the Universal
Amphitheatre. Later that year, the Voices: music from FINAL FANTASY concert took place in Tokyo with
the Tokyo Philharmonic under the direction of Amie Roth.
Video game music has grown increasingly popular in the last few years. Music plays an integral role
in today’s games, enhancing the players' overall experience. While still a growing market, video
game soundtracks are now sold in major outlets and include a variety of genres such as rock, hip-hop,
electronica, classical compositions, and songs performed by popular artists. SQUARE ENIX hopes to
pioneer awareness and appreciation of not only its own musical creations, but also video game music
throughout the industry.
