Gamers and music buffs, grab your controller - or, rather, your tickets - when Queensland Symphony Orchestra brings The Music of Video Games to Concert Hall, QPAC on July 24 & 25.
Whether you’re a veteran of the 8-bit era or a modern-day open-world explorer, this epic event is the symphonic quest you’ve been waiting for.
Forget tinny TV speakers; this is the full might of the QSO bringing the digital world into breathtaking surround sound. From the high-octane, blue-blurred nostalgia of Sonic the Hedgehog to the cinematic, medieval intensity of Assassin’s Creed, along with Tetris, Final Fantasy, Super Mario and Legend of Zelda the program bridges the gap between retro charm and contemporary masterpieces.
These aren't just background tunes; they are the soundtracks that defined our childhoods and fuelled our greatest virtual victories. Expect an evening of soaring strings, thundering percussion, and all the drama, beauty, and adventure that made these themes iconic global phenomena.
Whether you’re there for the high scores or the high notes, this is a rare chance to see the art of gaming music celebrated with world-class prestige!
