Global interactive entertainment publisher and developer MiHoYo is set to stage a first-of-its-kind global online concert entitled "GENSHIN CONCERT 2021 - Memories Of An Endless Journey" on October 3, 2021 in celebration of Genshin Impact's first year anniversary. Announced during GamesCom 2021 in Germany and available to watch for free worldwide, the virtual concert will feature Genshin Impact music originally composed and produced by Yu-Peng Chen and MiHoYo's in-house music team HOYO-MiX to be presented by world-famous Belgian conductor Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra with talented musicians from the US, South Korea and other countries slated to deliver innovative interpretations of well-loved pieces with a mix of genres to fans and players worldwide.
First released on September 28, 2020, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world action role-playing game (RPG) where players take the role of the mysterious "Traveler" who sets off on a journey to discover the fate of their lost sibling and unveils the mysterious secrets of Teyvat along the way. The game is set in the open world of Teyvat comprising of seven nations, each with a dedicated musical theme that evokes its history and culture played through the use of traditional orchestral music and incorporation of assorted musical elements from different parts of the globe. The game has released six original soundtrack albums with the seventh album featuring music from the recently launched Inazuma area coming soon in a collaboration between HOYO-MiX and Sony Music.
For more than 40 years, Maestro Dirk Brossé has been a respected and award-winning composer and conductor, participating in prestigious projects around the world including the Star Wars In Concert World Tour. In addition to the symphonic performance of the Genshin Impact soundtrack by a full classical orchestra, the approximately 90-minute concert will also have multiple states in the United States, South Korea and other countries featuring reimagined iconic tracks adapted and played by various individuals and groups of artists. "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," said Yu-Peng Chen.
Meanwhile, Genshin Impact players can claim the free five-star crossover character "Savior From Another World" Aloy from the Horizon series on the PlayStation in Version 2.1 and on all platforms during the Version 2.2 update.
