SUMMARY:The Ottawa Pops Orchestra Presents: Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final Fantasy VII
DESCRIPTION:The Ottawa Pops Orchestra Presents: Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final\nFantasy VII\, Live featuring a full symphonic orchestra and choir\nOttawa\, ON – April 13 2026 – The Ottawa Pops Orchestra presents Materia Symphony:\nInspired by Final Fantasy VII\, April 17 and 18 at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers\nCentre. The program features a full symphony orchestra and choir in a concert based\non the music of Final Fantasy VII.\nOriginally premiered in Montreal by l’Orchestre de jeux vidéo\, Materia Symphony comes\nto Ottawa in an expanded form\, specially adapted and re-orchestrated for the Ottawa\nPops Orchestra. The work is based on the score by Nobuo Uematsu and arranged by\nMontreal composer Alexandre Choinière as a four-movement symphonic structure\nreflecting the narrative of the game.\n“At the Ottawa Pops Orchestra\, we believe that great music can transcend its original\ncontext\,” says Artistic and Executive Director Mathieu Roy. “This program is designed to\nstand on its own as a concert experience\, whether or not you are familiar with the\ngame.”\nFor conductor Jonathan Dagenais\, the music of Final Fantasy VII has had a lasting\ninfluence on his musical development:\n"Final Fantasy VII has been a defining revelation in my life. As a young musician\, I was\ncaptivated by its complex storytelling\, but it was Nobuo Uematsu’s expressive and\ngrand score that truly transformed me. Far from being mere background music\,\nUematsu’s work acts as a hidden narrator\, masterfully shaping the game’s atmosphere.\nMuch like John Williams\, he utilizes leitmotifs to breathe life into characters and pivotal\nevents\, moving seamlessly from moments of fragile intimacy to sweeping\, epic\ngrandeur. This soundtrack is a primary reason why I chose a professional career in\nmusic.\nDivided into four distinct movements covering the entire saga\, the Materia Symphony is\ndesigned to let you relive this extraordinary odyssey through the full power of the\norchestra. It is an experience that promises to be truly spine-tingling."\nThe arrangement expands the original material for full orchestra and choir\, incorporating\nadditional orchestral textures and choral writing. Latin text\, adapted from elements of\nthe game’s narrative\, is integrated into the score. Choral preparation is led by Deirdre\nKellerman. \nThe concert is intended for a broad audience\, whether you are a lifelong fan of the\ngame or discovering this music for the first time. No prior knowledge is required.\nAudiences are encouraged to come as they are and immerse themselves in a live\nperformance. Costumes are encouraged.\nShowtimes\nFriday\, April 17\, 2026 – 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 2:00 PM\nSaturday\, April 18\, 2026 – 7:00 PM\nAll performances take place at the Carleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre\, 290 Lisgar\nStreet\, Ottawa\, ON\nTickets for Materia Symphony: Inspired by Final Fantasy VII are available through the\nOttawa Pops Orchestra website and through Eventbrite. Accessible pricing for those\nunder 30 is available.
