The two sold out FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Orchestra World Tour with special guest vocalist Loren Allred at Carnegie Hall were a complete delight. The 2pm show was my daughter Ursula’s first time experiencing a full orchestra rehearsal and concert and she had the best time. 

 I always enjoy spending time with Masashi Hamauzu and his partner Mina (who are both so incredibly talented). Being able to speak to them a little bit in Japanese encouraged me to keep studying. I love Hamauzu-san’s music a lot. It’s always so thoughtful and interesting and I love the chords he constructs. 

Loren Allred sang “No Promises to Keep” wonderfully in both shows. The orchestra and the choir were both excellent and Arnie was in great spirits. The Meet & Greets were great fun. It was about as perfect a day as one could have. A great start to the year!
