Being hosted to celebrate the first anniversary of their open-world adventure game Genshin Impact, MiHoYo used their time during Gamescom 2021 to announced they will be hosting their first online concert on 3 October 2021. Also going by the title Genshin Concert 2021: Melodies of an Endless Journey, the streamed event will feature music from the game originally composed and produced by Yu-Peng Chen and HOYO-MiX. During the event, Belgian conductor Belgian conductor Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra will present the original soundtracks of Genshin Impact, in addition to other musicians from the United States, South Korea and other countries.
For a sneak peek at what to expect, the video below showcases Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra performing a certain Mondstadt theme, which should be familiar to every Genshin Impact player. In addition to a symphonic performance of the Genshin Impact soundtrack by the full classical orchestra at the concert hall of Salle Philharmonique de Liège, the approximately 90-minute concert will also have multiple stages in countries including the United States and South Korea, featuring reimagined iconic tracks adapted and played by various individuals and groups of artists.
The GENSHIN CONCERT 2021 will be aired on October 3, 2021, in celebration of the game’s first anniversary. All fans, players, and interested viewers can watch it online for free. Details on which platforms the concert will be streamed on are yet to be confirmed, but I would expect it shall include the official Genshin Impact Twitch Account where all their digital events are streamed.
We’ve been experimenting with varied cultural elements in Genshin Impact’s music in the past and present, and will continue to do so in the future.
When Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra first played the Mondstadt theme, we immediately knew we got the ideal team to recreate some of the most memorable moments in the game for fans and players.
At the same time, the GENSHIN CONCERT 2021 is also a blessed opportunity for our team to communicate with gifted artists around the world and learn from their distinct interpretations of the game and music through various covers.
