After 35 years of Final Fantasy, what's next for composer Nobuo Uematsu?

Uematsu has always been passionate about performing the music he's written for video games onstage. While video game concerts have been taking place in Japan since 1987, when Koichi Sugiyama filled the Suntory Hall in Tokyo with his music from Dragon Quest on the NES, it wasn't until 2003 that Uematsu's music was performed onstage in the West. The success of Thomas Böcker's Symphonic Games Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany, spawned a symphony concert series that awakened Uematsu to the global popularity of Final Fantasy music concerts.
