Video Games Live January 7, 2011

Giving hard-core video-gamers a reason to go to the concert hall, 'Video Games Live' is a special musical event featuring a live orchestra performing music composed for many popular video game franchises. Produced by lauded video game composers Tommy Tellarico and Jack Wall, the concert will include music from such games as 'Mario,' 'Zelda,' 'Metal Gear,' 'Myst,' 'Warcraft,' 'Final Fantasy,' 'Castlevania,' 'Halo' and many others. The concerts will also contain video footage, lasers, light shows, electronic percussionists and live actors. In addition, gamers will be selected from the audience to compete and play a video game on stage. The competition will be shown on a giant screen while the orchestra follows the action in real time. As part of the experience, special festival events surround the show. For those who come early, you will enjoy interactive game demos, a costume contest, prize giveaways and game competitions. The post-show activities include meet and greet opportunities with the composers, sound designers, performers and special guests.
