Founded in 2003, Eminence came to birth as an orchestra that endeavours to resurrect the popularity of classical music, whose general appeal is currently stagnant. In the words of one newspaper, the internationally celebrated Eminence is a revolution.

Composed of Australia's finest young professionals, Eminence musicians came from many other prestigious establishments including Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra, Queensland Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Jeunesses Musicales World Orchestra, Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and so forth.

Many elite players have performed as International Soloist with major worldwide orchestras, won diverse international competitions as well as having performed for dignitaries including former US President Bill Clinton, Japanese Prime Minister Junichi Koizumi and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark.

The vivacious orchestra, still in its youth, has held groundbreaking performances. A Night in Fantasia 04 was the debut concert for Eminence, featuring the Oscar-winning animated Studio Ghibi films and Final Fantasy series, one of the highest selling games in the world. ANIF 04 was followed by the phenomenal success of the sell-out concert Piano Stories. The recent establishment of Dream Time Ensemble, an elite selection from Eminence, marked the debut of Eminence going national by bringing the highly anticipated concert Destiny to eager Melbourne fans.

As guest of honour at A Night in Fantasia 2004,
Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu commented:

"I was deeply moved by the energetic performance by the Eminence Symphony Orchestra... they are of great significance in the future of classical music."

The Eminence Symphony Orchestra will perform the best of anime and gaming music in full symphonic grandeur at the prestigious Sydney Town Hall on Sunday 30th October 2005.
