Program
The performance was about an hour long and features fourteen different pieces of musical arrangements from the Kingdom Hearts series. The pieces were performed by a symphonic concert band. Additionally, Tetsuya Nomura announced via Twitter the week before the concert debuted that the Japanese voice actors for Terra and Naminé would be present at each of the performances.[1] The program featured a conversation between Terra and Naminé portrayed by their voice actors, which is considered canon to the series and was featured in the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour- guide.
