Eminence is an orchestra based in Sydney, Australia that specialises in Video Games and Anime music.
It was formed in 2003, and every year since, has held many unforgettable concerts.
In addition to the our signature concert series A Night in Fantasia, we've held many ensemble and solo concerts, like Piano Stories, Destiny: A Dreamtime Ensemble, and our recent success, Passion.
In 2005, we broke from the norm, and presented World of John Williams, showcasing many of the legendary composer's most memorable scores such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, E.T. - The Extra-Terrestrial, Home Alone, and Indiana Jones.
A Night in Fantasia 2007: Symphonic Games Edition is coming up VERY SOON - next week, actually!
This year's concert features a wide variety of music from games such as:
Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and for those who also love the games from that other console, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts and Shadow of the Colossus XD
There's a string of special guests that will be present as well!
Yasunori Mitsuda, composer of Chrono Trigger and Xenogears
Hitoshi Sakimoto, composer of Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy Tactics (as well as the score to Studio Gonzo's latest anime masterpiece Romeo x Juliet, which Eminence performed!)
Yoko Shimomura, composer of Kingdom Hearts and the upcoming Final Fantasy Verses XIII

Despite the fact that I just gave a massive plug for them, there doesn't seem to be a thread on them here, so I reckon it should get a mention at least!
So who's heard of them?
Anyone on here who's from Sydney or Melbourne should definitely go to those concerts!
I can get you some cheap tickets, too (Sydney only lol)

Also, when are you coming to Perth?

But it's only going to be in Sydney and Melbourne.
We've talked about going to other cities, and we may in the future, so there's the possibility of Perth.
