Music in video games is an important aspect of the whole experience. The Toronto Symphony Orchestra invites gamers to GameON!, an event celebrating instantly recognizable music from some of the best games ever made.
GameON! is an event celebrating the best music in the gaming world, and it is coming to Toronto this May. The best part is they’re including the fans and performing all of this incredible music in front of a live audience. YOU! For two nights, The Game ON! will be performed for an audience of gamers, boasting songs from Bioshock, World of Warcraft, Assassin’s Creed and more at Roy Thompson Hall, a venue that regularly hosts the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
The Toronto Symphony Orchestra is teaming up with gaming music legend Andy Brick to bring game music enthusiasts in Canada a night of immersion. Andy Brick is known for his prolific work on music for games like Arc the Lad and Sim City. He has also orchestrated both live concerts and recorded soundtracks for Super Mario Bros., Halo, Final Fantasy, The Witcher 3 and much more. It’s worth mentioning that the exact list of songs the orchestra will perform isn’t spoiled anywhere (yet), so fans will be in for some surprises.
