HoYoverse announced Genshin Concert 2022 is set for October 2 featuring performances based off of the official Genshin Impact soundtrack.
Genshin Concert 2022 is directed by renowned composer Shiro Sagisu (Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War) with performances by the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra. Eímear Noone serves as conductor of the orchestra.
“Creating music for Genshin Impact has always been an endless exploration for me and the HOYO-MiX team,” said Yu-Peng Chen, Composer and Music Producer of HOYO-MiX. “In the past year, as Inazuma and Sumeru unfolded, we’ve strived to enrich the Genshin Impact music with inspirations drawn from all over the world. I’m excited to see how these soundtracks resonate with musicians and players across the world.”
“The original Genshin Impact soundtracks fit perfectly into the actual in-game scenes and ambiance, and also provide much to imagine beyond the game,” said Shiro Sagisu. “Together with the HOYO-MiX team and global artists, we’ve tried different touches to the music, weaving elements of pop music, rock, and jazz into it. Hopefully, we can create a refreshing and fun experience for the players.”
