At the ongoing Gamescom 2021, miHoYo has announced that its hit game Genshin Impact will be organizing its first online Genshin Concert 2021 – Melodies of an Endless Journey on October 3rd, 2021. This concert will feature the music of this RPG game originally composed and produced by Yu-Peng Chen and Hoyo-MiX. Moreover, renowned Belgian conductor Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra will present the original soundtracks of Genshin Impact. Furthermore, talented musicians from the United States, South Korea, and other countries will be showcasing their innovative interpretations of much-loved pieces with a mix of genres to worldwide fans and players.
First released on September 28th, 2020, Genshin Impact is a free-to-play open-world action RPG where the player takes on the role of the mysterious Traveler. As a traveler, a player sets off on a journey to discover the fate of their lost sibling and unveils the baffling secrets of Teyvat along the way. The game is set in the vast world of Teyvat consisting of seven nations. Each of these places comes with a dedicated musical theme that induces the history and culture of that area.
The original Genshin Impact soundtracks are produced by Hoyo-MiX, which is miHoYo’s in-house music team. Moreover, these songs are written by accomplished composer Yu-Peng Chen. Using traditional orchestral music as the base, these soundtracks embrace assorted elements of world music in themes and variations for different places. To date, the game has released six original soundtrack albums. The seventh album featuring music from the recently launched Inazuma area will be launching soon in a collaboration between Hoyo-MiX and Sony Music.
Enjoy the iconic tracks played by artists from various countries
miHoYo unveiled the trailer giving out the first glimpse of the online Genshin Concert 2021. This trailer stars Maestro Dirk Brossé and the Flanders Symphony Orchestra performing a Mondstadt theme. This one is very much familiar to every Genshin Impact fan and player at the concert hall of Salle Philharmonique de Liège.
For more than 40 years, Maestro Dirk Brossé has been a respected and award-winning composer and conductor. He has been participating in prestigious projects around the world including the Star Wars in Concert World Tour. Moreover, apart from the symphonic performance of the Genshin Impact soundtrack by a full classical orchestra, the approximately 90-minute concert will also have multiple stages in countries including the United States and South Korea, 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.
