A NEW WORLD: Intimate music from Final Fantasy - CHRISTCHURCH
For the past couple of moths, I have had the pleasure of co-organizing and then performing last week as concert master in the A New World: Intimate music from Final Fantasy concert tours coming to New Zealand for its first time.
This was a chamber music tour featuring the music from the popular Final Fantasy video game series originating in Japan. It was a wonderful experience working together with fantastic local musicians as well as with touring conductor Eric Roth and pianist Benyamin Nuss.
With one rehearsal for the concert, the ensemble put the concert together and with such enjoyment! especially in such beautiful venue as the Isaac Theatre Royal and the enthusiastic audience from Christchurch.
After 2 and a half hour sleep, The next morning I flew off to Auckland for the next concert.
