Concert Description
Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY
AWR Music Productions, LLC 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’s world-renowned FINAL FANTASY
video game series.
History
After the success of the 2002 FINAL FANTASY concert held in Japan, SQUARE ENIX announced
a six-city, seven-show tour of Japan in 2004 titled 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 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 2005 U.S. concert tour “Dear
Friends: music from FINAL FANTASY.” Uematsu’s award-winning music was then featured in
“More Friends: music from FINAL FANTASY" in Los Angeles at the Universal Amphitheatre.
In 2006, the “Voices: music from FINAL FANTASY"” concert took place in Yokohama, Japan
with the Prima Vista Orchestra under the musical direction of Arnie Roth.
