Symphonic Fantasies - Tickets available

The WDR Radio Orchestra Cologne and the WDR Radio Choir Cologne will present the Symphonic Fantasies concert on Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 8 PM. This highly anticipated concert will feature music from the video game soundtracks of Square Enix. The Japanese company Square Enix is rated as one of the world's best known producers of digital entertainment software.

Jonne Valtonen, the award-winning Finnish composer and arranger, has been hired to arrange the music for the Symphonic Fantasies concert in Cologne exclusively, using classics such as Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Kingdom Hearts and Secret of Mana. Though Valtonen has amazed fans and critics alike with his scores for video game concerts all over the world, Symphonic Fantasies just may be his biggest challenge to date. Grammy-winning artist Arnold Roth will conduct the 70 minutes long concert. Roth is a classical trained violinist, conductor and composer.
