Well known and much loved celebrity composer, Yuki Kajiura, who created the brilliant musical scores for the Xenosaga video games series, will be in Australia later this week to promote and participate in the Eminence Symphony Artists' 'A Night in Fantasia 2007: Anime Edition' concert series.
The Eminence Symphony Artists are staging two special 'A Night in Fantasia' concert performances in Sydney on Sunday 18 November, 2007 with the support and endorsement of Ms Kajiura.
In addition to scoring the music to the popular video game series Xenosaga and 'Blood: The Last Vampire', Yuki has provided music for some of the most famous anime series, including: .hack//SIGN, Noir, Madlax, My-HiME, Tsubasa Chronicle, Gundam Seed, as well as countless other solo albums and Japanese films.

All fans are encouraged to come along, as the much loved composer rarely ventures out of Japan.
"We are thrilled and honored to have someone as talented and popular as Yuki Kajiura here in Australia with us to participate in our concerts," commented Hiroaki Yura, Founder, Head and Concert Master of the Eminence Symphony Orchestra.
"While this part of our annual A Night in Fantasia concert series will largely feature anime music, we felt we just had to include the music from the Xenosaga video games, not only for the fans of Ms Kajiura's music, but for the large number of video games fans who come to all of our concerts."
"This concert will have something for everyone and will showcase the brilliance of Ms Kajiura's musical compositions. We are very excited and look forward to literally wowing our fans with another great concert series," he concluded.
'A Night in Fantasia 2007: Anime Edition' will features pieces from a wide range of anime titles, including Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tsubasa Chronicle, Xenosaga II, Studio Ghibli classics , .hack//Liminality, Elfen Lied and more…
