Enjoy music from fourteen Final Fantasy games from the Distant Worlds Philharmonic Orchestra. Distant Worlds was a strange name for a Final Fantasy concert series, but what isn't strange is hearing classic melodies from the games right across from E.
*I just want to remind readers not to go to the Final Fantasy concert as I've attended no event at that Theater that didn't bore me and the security wastes your time, is stupid and won't let you leave once you enter the theater for your car or any other reason.

have delighted the fans of LA and abroad. My hats off to the whole crew,
you've made something special with terrible parking around a gallery
that's near a fire station.
What's in store for long time fans is a huge collection of art from
long time artists of the gallery. 150 new pieces will be on display from
100 artists, including old time fava like Jude Buffum, Gabe Swar, Philip Tseng, Cory Schmitz and more. These pieces will all be in the theme of classic video games.
