This is only for those people that lives in Australia or going to visit there soon.
A Night in Fantasia 2007 is concert with with orchestral music of videogames. It will take place in Sydney on the 20th and 21st of April at 7:30pm at the Sydney Town Hall, and in Melbourne on April 27th at 7:30pm at Hamer Hall.
Now how can this be related to Seiken Densetsu? One of the piece of music is the answer. They will play a track Legend of Mana, and that is the Title Theme.

I wish I could go, but I don't live there nor am I visiting, although I wish. I wonder, do they also have music from ToP (Tales of Fantasia). This may sound strange, but I saw a concert that did that was also called Fantasia once, so I was just wondering about it.

Here is the poster of the concert

I believe they named this concert group to 'A Night to Fantasia' not because of Tales of Phantasia.

My guess is it would be more related to the musical style Fantasia, being a symphonic arrangement, and also to the fact that the songs are taken from games (taking place in a fantasy world).

There's been a few concerts of this type out in Oz, but as to whether any of them had music from ToP, I'm afraid I can't recall, sorry.

I did a fast research and found out that the group isnt called 'A Night in Fantasia'. The concert itself is called that, the group performing this concert is called 'Eminence Symphony Orchestra'.
They first started in 2003 with 'A Night in Fantasia' and have since then performed concerts with various games and anime music. Their latest concert is 'A Night in Fantasia 2007: Symphonic Games Edition' and 'A Night in Fantasia 2007: Symphonic Anime Edition'

Ah, I see now. Too many bands, companies, etc. use the name fantasia so it gets kind of confusing sometimes. :|
