Big in Japan 2018

Game music concerts have become a natural part of the Swedish orchestra scene, and the KTH Academic Orchestra have previously performed the SCORE game concert to ecstatic audiences. Japanese game music holds a special place within the genre and now were celebrating composers like Uematsu, Higashino, Nakamura and Otani in BIG IN JAPAN. You will hear music from platform classics like Sonic the Hedgehog and MegaMan, modern masterpieces like Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian and obviously the vast treasures of Japanese RPGs including Final Fantasy, Secret of Mana and Suikoden. Many Japanese composers have been inspired by the classics and to illustrate this we also perform two shorter pieces by Bach and Stravinsky.
