OFFICIAL DESCRIPTION

Final Symphony II, the second chapter of officially licensed concert world tour will be presented live in Poland for the very first time on the 21st of September 2024 in Wroclaw’s National Forum of Music. Like its predecessor, it guarantees stunning orchestral suites based on the music from the FINAL FANTASY video game series – this time, FINAL FANTASY V, VIII, IX and XIII.

 

The previous Final Symphony concert in Wroclaw was quickly sold-out, and met with universal acclaim so it was only a matter of time for us to invite you the National Forum of Music for the next episode of this magnificent series with a completely new setlist!

 

Final Symphony II is a symphonic journey through the worlds of FINAL FANTASY V, VIII, IX and XIII, accompanied by the music composed by Nobuo Uematsu and Masashi Hamauzu. It is an elaborate orchestral experience, dedicated not only for fans of the games but for anyone who embraces beautiful music interpreted in a unique, very emotional manner. The diverse repertoire is a great opportunity to show various facets of the series.

 

This composition, officially licensed by Square Enix, presents unforgettable themes in the form of captivating orchestral suites – they will be played live on stage in Poland for the first time at the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw on the 21st of September 2024.
