Dates for Yoshiki Classical performances have started popping up around the web, with tickets also going on sale. By the looks of it, there are going to be quite a few Classical concerts happening during the first half of the year, so I thought I would create a topic that consolidates all of these performances into one thread.
As has been mentioned on Xplosion Online, tickets have started going on sale, as well as the announcement of future concert dates. Although there hasn't been any official word from Yoshiki himself in any social media (as of 30th Jan) relating to particulars, with ticket sales going ahead, you can be sure these dates are solid.
Based on all the dates I am assuming a set up like the Grammy Museum one last year, with Yoshiki on piano and a string ensemble. I feel it would be too costly to travel with an entire orchestra. He could organise the local orchestras to accompany him, but with the dates below, I don't think there would be much time to practice with each one?
So far, the concerts are as follows:
LA, 19th February
Setlist:
1. Forever Love
2. Golden Globe Theme
3. Red Rhapsody (Violet UK)
4. I.V.
5. Art of Life
6. Endless Rain
Austin, 14th March *Part of SXSW* (Include a X Japan announcement!)
Costa Mesa, April 25th
San Francisco, 28th April
Mexico, 1st May
Toronto, 10th May
Moscow, May 21st
Berlin, May 23rd
Paris, May 26th
London, May 29th
Shanghai, 6th June
Beijing, 8th June
I will update the list as more dates and news are announced and, when the concerts occur, will try and round up as much footage / info of the nights as possible.
