National Concert Hall, Saturday 26th October
The RTÉ Concert Orchestra perform classic gaming scores, from Final Fantasy VIII to Fallout 4, journeying through orchestral story arcs and capturing the thrill of gameplay.
With its complex worlds and adventurous storylines, video gaming goes hand-in-hand with orchestral music and epic soundtracks, with games like Kingdom Hearts, The Shadow of the Colossus and Skyrim inspiring some of the most inventive contemporary sounds and suspenseful scores.
Experience the music of gaming as it breaks out from its screens and speakers into full orchestra sound, with conductor Robert Ames, who led the first Gaming Prom at the BBC Proms. Taking the RTÉ Concert Orchestra on a quest through universes, they perform iconic scores from games like The Legend of Zelda, through to Jessica Curry’s haunted soundscapes in Dear Esther, and to the new worlds of Hildur Guðnadóttir’s critically acclaimed Battlefield 2042.
Presented by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
