Even if you have never played Tetris, you will most likely be familiar with the Russian folk song »Korobeiniki«, that served as soundtrack for the first video game with cult status and is indelibly linked to it. And since the success of such epic games as »Fortnite«, »Resident Evil« and »Horizon« at the very latest, it has become clear that video game music transcends the framework for which it was created. Like the soundtrack to famous films, the characteristic melodies are often familiar even to those who have never played the respective game. Under the baton of Eímear Noone, the Bamberg Symphony is now taking the video game scores from well-known titles to the Bamberg concert stage. The Irish composer and conductor has touched over 100 million people worldwide with her music for the online role-playing game »World of Warcraft«. She not only won the Hollywood Music in Media Award with her compositions, but also received five nominations for the Annual Game Music Awards 2014. Together with singer Aisling McGlynn, the orchestra will take the audience into strange new worlds, fusing the sound of a classical symphony orchestra with the sound of electric guitar, bass and drums. A journey through magical forests, post-apocalyptic civilisations and treacherous labyrinths – not only video game lovers will get their money’s worth on this special concert evening.
