Imagine the thrill of video gaming mixed with the collective energy of a rock concert and the emotional power of a symphony orchestra, and you have an idea of the adrenaline rush that is Video Games Live! A concert event for all the senses, the interactive show created by game music composer Tommy Tallarico features the UC Berkeley Symphony Orchestra performing live arrangements of video game music hits, synchronized to dazzling video footage, spectacular light displays, and theatrical special effects. Whether you're a current gamer or nostalgic for the Marios and Zeldas of another era, pre- and post-concert events offer a chance to interact with others in the gaming community, and include a costume contest and meet-and-greets with top industry game composers and designers.
