Two concerts, two different programs!
We worked hard to find a new concert date in Chicago when Uematsu-san would be available to attend, and also when we could perform Distant Worlds at the Chicago Symphony orchestra’s concert hall, Symphony Center: It's June 26, 2011! We will be performing TWO different programs, at 2:30pm and 7:30pm! Susan Calloway singing the newly released FFXIV “Answers” composed by none other than Nobuo Uematsu himself, the Chicagoland Pops Orchestra and chorus, and of course, maestro Arnie Roth!

NOTE: PROGRAM SUBJECT TO CHANGE I live like 15 or 20 minutes away from the concert. I never went to a concert and now I am thinking of actually going to the 2:30 PM concert. 45 dollars is cheap and I love Final Fantasy music (a lot of their stuff).
