I had no idea this existed until yesterday, I wondered is anyone else was a gamer or had gaming teens/preteens/partners who would enjoy seeing the music of the games performed by an orchestra and choir. It is in O2 Manchester Sat 1st Nov and Hammersmith London Sun 2nd Nov. I can't wait (and neither can my DC and DH)
From the official website:
"Video Games Live is an immersive concert event featuring music from the greatest video games of all time. Created and produced by industry veterans and world famous video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall; top orchestras and choirs around the world perform along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussion, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience.
The best way to describe Video Games Live? Picture the excitement and energy of a rock concert mixed with the power and emotion of a symphony orchestra combined together by the technology, interactivity, stunning visuals and fun that only video games can provide. Completely synchronized cutting-edge video screen visuals, state-of-the-art lighting and special on-stage interactive segments dazzle audiences of all ages – gamers and non-gamers alike.
Special events surround the show, including a pre- and post-show festival. Guests will enjoy interactive game demos, prizes, a costume contest, game competitions and the very popular meet-and-greet with top game composers and designers."
