Jake 1,488 Posted December 15, 2015 In a post made by the London Symphony Orchestra, and a quick post made by the official Kingdom Hearts Facebook page, they confirm that Kingdom Hearts music is set to appear at the Symphonic Fantasies concert, which is going to debut in the UK for the first time. The concert starts on October 6, 2016 from 8:00 PM GMT to 10:00 PM GMT in the Barbican Hall in London. Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts series, will be performing.

It has also been revealed on the event's Facebook page, that Yoko Shimomura will be having an event before the concert at 6:15 PM GMT. She will talk about her musical career (especially with Kingdom Hearts) and her influences with LSO Principal Flute Gareth Davies and answer questions from the audience. This event will be an additional £10 to concert ticket and will be an hour long. You can read the official paragraph below: Also joining fans, as special guest for the night, is Kingdom Hearts composer Yoko Shimomura, who’ll appear on stage for a special ticketed, pre-concert talk. Here she’ll talk about her long and highly successful career in video game music, as well as take questions from the audience in what will be an entertaining and informative evening.

mag77 405 Posted December 15, 2015 Aw, I remember when they had the Symphonic Fantasies play where I live a few years ago. A friend, my family, and I went and it was awesome! The music was absolutely beautiful! Even Uematsu was there, but of course there were so many people wanting to see him that we didn't get to meet him. I hope one day they'll return and play Kingdom Hearts music! They had Legend of Zelda here this year, so I hope that means Kingdom Hearts will be played some time. Mario too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
