Long time LOTRO music composer Chance Thomas has announced on his Facebook page that his piece Theme for Rohan will be performed by the Utah Symphony on September 6 as a part of their Video Games Live concert series. Mr. Thomas has been asked to guest-conduct the piece. Theme for Rohan was released as a part of the Riders of Rohan expansion pack and can currently be heard in the Rohan regions within the game. Mr. Thomas includes further detail within his Facebook post:
I am happy to announce the symphonic premiere of my original composition, THEME FOR ROHAN, to be performed by the Utah Symphony on September 6, 2014 at Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City. They have invited me to guest conduct at the concert. Tickets are already going fast! Click the image below for ticket information.
THEME FOR ROHAN will be showcased as part of the Utah Symphony’s Video Games Live concert series. Video Games Live offers terrific family-friendly entertainment bursting at the seams with lazer lights, popular video game footage on a massive screen, good humor, excitement and of course, lots of beautiful music.
In a related note, during today’s executive producers live stream, Sapience and Rowan were asked if Chance Thomas would again be contributing music to LOTRO in the future. While no commitments were made, both Sapience and Rowan indicated that they have been in recent communication with Mr. Thomas. Hopefully we’ll be treated to more Chance Thomas classics in the near future!
