Foreword

Childhood. I recall it clearly, right after the classes, together with my friends, we gathered in one of their homes to continue a previously saved scenario of Heroes of Might and Magic© III. It is one of those warm memories that come back in my mind just before falling asleep. Do you have these, too? The music in this game was unique, magical… To this day I find pleasure in listening to it again and again. Not only does it evoke positive recollections, but it also is simply a good piece of art on its own. It certainly can be appreciated by a
connoisseur, even one who does not associate it with the picture it was written for.

A decade ago, the music by Paul Anthony Romero became the spiritus movens for the creation of gamemusic.pl. At the same time, a dream has sprouted. A dream of bringing these beautiful melodies to life and presenting them on the stage. A vision to free them from the soulless speakers and let them sound in full glory in the cozy wooden interiors of a philharmonic hall. This dream grew in my head and never let me go.

The Symphony of Heroes concert is the accomplishment of this youthful fantasy. There is no large agency behind its organization. It is the work of a group of enthusiasts. A gift from the fans to the fans. I hope that it will also make your wishes whispered in mind during a night of falling stars come true. Ladies and gentlemen, let me wish you a pleasant evening, hoping that there will be many more such memorable moments which we shall spend together.
