It's great that you are able to go to so many concerts all around the world. I'm grateful if I manage to go to 2-3 concerts a year in my country or occasionally abroad - but only in Europe.    Posted:   Feb 1, 2025 - 9:55 AM     By:   Luc Van der Eeken   (Member) Desplat played the Philharmonie de Paris on Thursday and what a concert it was! My humble review: https://soundtracks-in-concert.com/alexandre-desplat-de-paris-a-hollywood-2025/ Next: Philippe Rombi, who held a sensational concert last night! Thanks for the review! Do you know if it was recorded for a CD or Blu-ray release?    Posted:   Feb 2, 2025 - 9:13 AM     By:   Alain P   (Member) @keky As my wife works for an airline, I can fly abroad for pretty cheap! I keep the costs down by sleeping in airports (not recommended, but necessary if you’re on a budget!) Still, I think it’s always worth going to concerts if the original composer is there. It’s just not the same if someone else is conducting/performing. So yeah, I go when I can and when the composer is still around or healthy enough to perform I don’t want to regret not seeing my favorite composers in concert! @Luc I’m not sure… but I did see multiple cameras filming there. Fingers crossed!    Posted:   Feb 2, 2025 - 9:15 AM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Philippe Rombi played the day after Desplat and what a concert it was!! My humble report: https://soundtracks-in-concert.com/philippe-rombi-in-concert-2025/ Thanks for reading!    Posted:   Feb 2, 2025 - 10:16 AM     By:   keky   (Member) Thanks Alain P for the Rombi concert review as well. It must have been a fantastic experience! I hope Rombi will give more concerts in the future because I would really love to attend one like this. Those couple of pieces at Ghent were wonderful so an entire concert of his music must be even more wonderful.    Posted:   Feb 2, 2025 - 11:17 AM     By:   governor   (Member) This is the kind of concert I decided not to go to anymore (radio France). Too much talk, too much politics, too much flattery among a small, disconnected community. It's sad for music.    Posted:   Mar 6, 2025 - 8:29 AM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Bump! The Film Score Philharmonic Orchestra performed an all-STAR WARS program on the weekend. My humble review: https://soundtracks-in-concert.com/galactic-spectacular-return-of-filphil-2025/ (these guys did last year’s tremendous Goldsmith tribute concert!) Coming up: MENKEN - Aladdin in Concert with live performance by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle! ELFMAN - Elfman/Burton concert SILVESTRI - Back to the Future Musical (Japan run) VARIOUS - Avengers in Concert And more! Thanks for reading ??    Posted:   Mar 11, 2025 - 7:46 AM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Bump! My humble review of ALADDIN IN CONCERT with live performance by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle! https://soundtracks-in-concert.com/aladdin-in-concert-2025/ As always, thanks for reading ??    Posted:   Mar 11, 2025 - 4:26 PM     By:   musiqu3.   (Member) Loved your review of the Aladdin concert in Tokyo! And I couldn't agree with you more, the "Cave of Wonders" underscore is fantastic, and so is the final battle with Jafar. Menken won the Oscar for Best Score on Aladdin, and I think it's incredibly deserving of it! I'm hoping to get the chance to see this in concert some day - I'm really glad that Disney continues to add titles to this concert lineup!    Posted:   Mar 11, 2025 - 10:17 PM     By:   Alain P   (Member) @musiqu3. Thanks for the kind words! It really was a fantastic concert The only thing missing was Menken himself… I only need to see (hopefully in English!) Hunchback, Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, and Hercules Live in Concert for my life to be complete! *** To change topic, for those interested in good tickets for the upcoming LONDON SOUNDTRACK FESTIVAL, please see my trading board post here: https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=159440&forumID=2&archive=0 Thanks! Alain    Posted:   Mar 29, 2025 - 6:50 PM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Bump! Keith Lockhart was in Tokyo last week to conduct a John Williams Tribute Concert: https://soundtracks-in-concert.com/john-williams-tribute-special-concert-with-keith-lockhart-2025/ Good concert that was marred by an overzealous viola player!! Next up: - Back to the Future: The Musical (Tokyo run) - Elfman/Burton concert - James Newton Howard in Vienna - Hans Zimmer Live - Avengers in Concert And more! Thanks for reading, Alain    Posted:   Mar 30, 2025 - 8:56 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) I may have asked this question before, but are you filthy rich, Alain, being able to go to all these concerts all around the world?    Posted:   Mar 30, 2025 - 5:29 PM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Me filthy rich? Far from it! I’m a former teacher masquerading as a Human Resources “professional” (emphasis on quotation marks!) for a big company. As a non-manager, I make a pretty standard salary for someone in Japan at my age. The reason I can fly all over the world to see these concerts is simple: my wife works in the airline industry. As a result, I can get plane tickets for dirt cheap. The only problem is that I can’t purchase plane tickets in advance – I’m on standby always, so can only board flights if there are available seats. It’s very risky (as there have been times that I’ve been stuck in an airport), but worth it! My wife is also very understanding of my “hobby,” so she lets me go as long as I minimize my time away and the money I spend, which is why – as much as possible - I forgo hotels and instead sleep in airport lobbies. This means I arrive the day concerts take place, leave right after the concert ends to head to the airport, then sleep (on a chair!) in the pre-security airport lobby while waiting for the first flight home in the morning! But there’s an even more important reason why I go to these concerts: I don’t want to regret not seeing one of my favourite composers conduct or perform in concert. I had opportunities to see James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, and Ryuichi Sakamoto in concert but let those opportunities pass by… and as you know, these guys are no longer with us. I still deeply regret not seeing David Shire, Lalo Schifrin and John Scott conduct/perform when they were still young and healthy enough to do so. Having these regrets is what pushes me to go to these concerts. Sure, tickets/hotels can be expensive – but you can always make money again… somehow!    Posted:   Mar 30, 2025 - 6:11 PM     By:   Alain P   (Member) I should also add that long before I met my wife, I still travelled abroad to see concerts despite living paycheck-to-paycheck on my meagre teachers’ salary! In fact, I was 23 years old when I flew to London from Japan to meet John Barry – an experience I will never forget. And totally worth all the missed meals and social gatherings leading up to it!!    Posted:   Mar 31, 2025 - 2:58 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Thanks for the background info, Alain. Fascinating stuff!    Posted:   Mar 31, 2025 - 4:19 AM     By:   governor   (Member) Thanks Alain for the report. Were the Williams videos taken from known archives or were they brand new ? Thanks    Posted:   Apr 7, 2025 - 2:32 AM     By:   Alain P   (Member) @governor Apologies for the late reply! The videos were the same as the ones they showed at the last Lockhart-conducted JW concert in Tokyo in 2023. I think the videos were filmed that year or possibly the year before? Can’t be sure, but certainly within the last 5 years.    Posted:   Apr 15, 2025 - 8:25 PM     By:   Alain P   (Member) Bump!
