The Colors of Harmony: Hitoshi Sakimoto 40th Anniversary Celebration
Hitoshi Sakimoto Music from ‘Final Fantasy XII’ 0
Hitoshi Sakimoto conductor/composer
The Colors of Harmony marks the world premiere of a unique symphonic celebration dedicated to the extraordinary 40-year career of composer Hitoshi Sakimoto, whose evocative soundtracks have brought to life the fantastical worlds crafted by renowned Japanese studios Vanillaware and Square Enix.
For this historic occasion, Maestro Sakimoto will honour the audience with his presence, joined by the illustrious London Mozart Players and an ensemble of acclaimed soloists.
Under Sakimoto’s visionary direction, Basiscape has created music that holds an enduring place in the hearts of millions of gamers worldwide. The Colours of Harmony will present this legacy in concert for the first time, featuring beloved themes from Vanillaware’s iconic titles — including 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir – alongside timeless Square Enix masterpieces such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Final Fantasy XII.
Beyond the concert itself, Fairfield Halls will host a full day of attractions for fans of Sakimoto’s music. Together with Final Fantasy Union, we are organising a special Final Fantasy Pub Quiz hosted by Darryl from Final Fantasy Union and Ben Starr – an event like no other, celebrating beloved worlds and melodies in a social, entertaining setting. We plan to have quite a few special guests there to guide each party on their quest for victory.
Fans will also have the rare opportunity to attend an educational talk with Hitoshi Sakimoto, hosted by Alex Moukala. Educational events are a hallmark of the Game Music Festival, and participation in them is an essential part of the full GMF experience.
Band A tickets include admission for the Final Fantasy Union Pub Quiz, educational meeting, and the Colors of Harmony concert.
