About the Eminence Symphony Orchestra

Eminence Symphony Orchestra was established in 2003 by renowned violin virtuoso, Hiroaki Yura. Since then, Eminence has become known for their annual ‘A Night in Fantasia’ events, in addition to other concerts and recordings for games, anime and films.



Eminence Symphony Orchestra comprises 60 elite musicians under the conductorship of Philip Chu. Eminence’s team of musicians have had experience with a large number of established Symphony Orchestras, such as the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, Queensland Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Jeunesses Musicales World Orchestra and Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra.

Many Eminence musicians have also performed as international soloists with major orchestras around the world, including the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra, all major Chinese Eastern Coast Orchestras, all major Australian Orchestras and major USA Orchestras.

Eminence aims to revitalise the current state of Australian orchestras and achieve a following across all demographics, encouraging a wider appreciation of symphonic music in Australia. Eminence is the most experienced orchestra in the world dedicated to gaming and anime music.



What sets the Eminence Symphony Orchestra apart from other orchestras?

Eminence wants to challenge the ‘image’ of orchestral music, by aligning it with the things that are more familiar to younger audiences, such as computer games. Eminence’s musicians want young people to really ‘hear’ orchestral music, to believe in the strength of music and connect with it.

Classical music should not be left to languish in dusty corners or to be appreciated only by an older demographic. It needs to find a new face and be aggressively showcased into expanded genres in order to capture a larger audience.

Eminence’s musicians feel that young people must move away from TVs and computers and get out and listen to ‘live’ music. They want to challenge the notions of classical music and revive its popularity.

Eminence’s music can be a catalyst for younger people to explore symphonic music in more depth and gain an appreciation for a style of music they may never have otherwise acknowledged.

This is the Silverchair of Classical!
