About Video Games Live
Described by the Washington Post as “ingenious and fantastic,” and “a feast for the eyes and ears,” by The Seattle Times, Video Games Live is an award winning concert event that features beautiful symphonic arrangements of music from the most popular video games of all time, along with synchronized video footage on three giant screens, plus lighting and electronic percussion. The mixture of live action, interactive segments, and stirring musical themes creates an explosive one-of-a-kind entertainment experience. To see examples of the VGL experience, go to VGL
VGL was created by industry legend, composer Tommy Tallarico. The multimedia concert introduces new audiences – families, video game enthusiasts and non-gamers – to the symphonic experience. The concert spotlights the music that enhances the most gripping video game moments – rescuing the princess, winning the boss fight, saving the galaxy from aliens or defeating the undead – with performances from recent blockbusters and iconic classics.
