A new symphony is music to gamers' ears

There have been several ringtone concerts performed around the world, so why not a video gaming symphony? Well it's happening. According to The Sydney Morning Herald, a "symphony" comprising music from some of the most popular video games will be performed in Sydney next year after sell-out shows in the US and Europe.

"The Sydney Symphony will perform Play!, the "video game symphony", at the Sydney Opera House from June 20 next year, under conductor and Grammy award winner Arnie Roth.

It includes music from about 20 games such as Final Fantasy, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend Of Zelda, Super Mario Bros., World Of Warcraft, Lost Odyssey and Sonic The Hedgehog.

As well as a full orchestra, choir and pipe organ, the show will also feature highlight clips from the video games, which will be played on large screens above the orchestra."
