For those of us who were lucky enough to attend Symphonic Shades and Symphonic Fantasies in the beautiful city of Cologne, we all agreed that as soon as we left the venue, we were already getting excited in an unhealthy manner for the announcement of the next concert in the series. The events are somewhat of a shining treasure in video game music-themed concerts, with great production values, exclusive arrangements and fan pleasing selections, leading to many industry firsts when it comes to featuring games in this kind of setting.
Yesterday, Thomas Böcker, the man behind the “Symphonic” series was pleased to announce that ticket sales open on December 19, 2009 for his new concert, Symphonic Legends. Tickets range from 6 EUR to 30 EUR depending on the seats. That translates into roughly $8 USD to $40 USD. It will take place on September 23, 2010 in the Philharmonic Hall in Cologne, which is an absolutely beautiful venue to say the least. Details on what will be featured are not known at this time, but I personally hope to see my friend Benyamin Nuss take the stage one more time, as he did a great job on Kingdom Hearts at Symphonic Fantasies.
You can get tickets at KölnTicket and look for upcoming announcements at Symphonic Legends.

man, I cannot wait for this. Symphonic Fantasies was hands down the best video game concert ever. Even though I haven’t been to all of them, I’ve heard all the arrangements, and this was bar none the best.
Where the heck is the CD and DVD release though?
Tickets already purchased and looking really forward to the whole evening.
Concerning SF CD concert producer Thomas Böcker was talking with Chris from SEMO about and it seems to me that he and Square Enix talk about the last details. To hold back a CD release of this awesome concert would be one of the greatest failures in VGM history.
