Gaming invades High Culture

I got an email from the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra telling me about Video Games Live, a concert that will feature music from:

• MARIO
• ZELDA®
• HALO®
• METAL GEAR SOLID®
• WARCRAFT®
• MYST®
• FINAL FANTASY®
• KINGDOM HEARTS

They are also going to have the score from the Halo3 trailer as well.

I’m just tickled at the whole idea of this event – very much in the same way that I really enjoyed Symphony and Metallica. But it’s not surprising when you think about the production value that is behind these scores.
