Eminence Symphony Orchestra to Play ‘Prince of Persia’ Music Live
Inon Zur’s orchestral music from Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia games will be played by a symphony orchestra live for the first time ever as part of the “A Night in Fantasia 2009″ to be held in Sydney next month.
Award-winning composer Inon Zur created a compelling and epic original score for the latest Prince of Persia video game, including sweeping themes which feature a cinematic orchestral style blended with eastern ethnic instrumentation.
Zur will be a special guest conducting the full symphony orchestra, accompanied by visuals from the games on the big screen, as well as speaking to the audience about his music for Prince of Persia and signing autographs during a meet-and-greet.
The concert will be recorded and released on CD in the weeks following. A special limited edition CD with a ‘behind the scenes’ DVD will also be released.
“Fans will be blown away by the musical extravaganza of ‘A Night in Fantasia 2009′,” said Hiroaki Yura, Founder and Director of Eminence Artists. “We’re taking ‘A Night in Fantasia’ to a whole new level with this concert – we’re going to raise the roof!”
The score follows the ancient Persian mythological setting of the game where a warrior Prince finds himself caught in an epic battle between the primal forces of light and darkness that pits the God of Light, Ormazd, against his brother, Ahriman, the destructive God of Darkness. After witnessing the destruction of the legendary Tree of Life – an act which unleashes Ahriman’s corrupted darkness onto the land – the Prince and his deadly companion, Elika, embark on a journey to heal the world from the evil Corruption and defeat Ahriman once and for all.
Listen to the main theme:
“A Night in Fantasia 2009″ will be held at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, Australia, on Saturday, September 26, 2009.
Tickets are now available via Ticketmaster.
The limited edition CD/DVD packages are available for pre-order via the Eminence website.
