What it was like
Copley Symphony Hall, 750 B St, San Diego. June 21st. From $45. Video Games Live brings game music to a symphony hall with a full orchestra and production design built around the audiovisual world the games created — the music that scored your childhood, played at the scale it was always imagining.
Final Fantasy. Zelda. Halo. Street Fighter. Castlevania. The Super Mario Bros theme. These pieces were composed for orchestras and delivered in MIDI because that's what game systems could run in 1987. Hearing them performed live — by musicians in a room designed for acoustic precision — is the fulfillment of what the original composers were hearing in their heads.
Copley Symphony Hall is the right venue. The acoustics are serious. The production brings video and sound design that runs alongside the orchestra, turning the concert into a multi-sensory experience that recordings never approximated. From $45 at videogameslive.com. June 21st in San Diego. This is the orchestra night for people who didn't think they were orchestra people until they realized they had been listening to orchestral music their entire lives.
