The "Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY" concert on December 12, 2009 at 8 p.m. at The Rosemont Theatre, will feature never before heard new works by the Japanese video game composer Nobuo Uematsu from the not yet released FINAL FANTASY XIV game. The premiere of the newly written Final Fantasy XIV music, performed by the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra, will pre-date the release of the video game and will give fans an exclusive opportunity to be the first to hear the music live and in concert."We've never done anything like this before as we typically perform music after the release of each particular video game. The fans attending the Chicago concert will be the first to hear the music performed by over 100 performers, including a live orchestra and chorus, before hearing it on their computers when they play the game! This video game music sneak peak is an exciting new prospect that Square Enix Co.,Ltd.(Square Enix) has allowed us to present and should be a thrilling premiere for the fans and performers," said Arnie Roth, Music Director and Executive Producer, "Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY."
The Chicagoland Pops Orchestra, under the direction, of Arnie Roth will be premiering new FINAL FANTASY XIV music on December 12, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. at the Rosemont Theater. Nobuo Uematsu will be seated in the audience for these, and many other DWFF premieres, and, for the first time on the Distant Worlds concert tour, Uematsu will also be performing live, in Advent: One Winged Angel, along with the rock band the Chicago Mages! Heard on the title track from the acclaimed Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY CD, Susan Calloway, will also be a featured soloist.
