March 12th, 2012: Distant Worlds : The Music of Final Fantasy Concert
This past weekend I took a break from Anime Boston preparations to attend a Final Fantasy music concert! As a huge fan of Nobuo Uematsu's work, I had been hoping a Final Fantasy concert would come to Boston since the original 2002 concert was held in Japan. 
After a decade of waiting, I was BEYOND excited to get tickets to the sold-out Distant Worlds: The Music of Final Fantasy concert on March 10th, I went with Sketch, Stardust, and several other friends, but the audience was virtually a Who's Who of the New England convention scene, and we found ourselves waiving to all sorts of people we knew as the orchestra tuned up to start the show. The concert was held at Symphony Hall in Boston, performed by the wonderfully talented Video Game Orchestra, and conducted by Grammy Award winning music director Arnie Roth. It was nothing short of amazing, covering tunes from the classic NES games to a preview of the new Chocobo Theme from the upcoming Final Fantasy XIV. The highlight of the evening, however, was when the group utilized the floor-to-ceiling pipe organ in the music hall to play a proper rendition of Dancing Mad from Final Fantasy VI! You can read a full review of my experience HERE, and if you like Final Fantasy music and ever get a chance to attend one of these concerts, definitely go!
