Music for Video Games: From Console to Concert

Part of Just Announced

An evening of video game music performed by Lucis Choir, Wilder Vocals, Noctis Chamber Choir and Bristol Ensemble. Lucis Choir, supported by Wilder Vocals, Noctis Chamber Choir and the Bristol Ensemble, bring you an evening of the most iconic soundtracks in gaming.


Video game music has grown into one of the most vital forms of contemporary orchestral writing. These scores borrow from film, choral and classical traditions, and their melodies are crafted to tell stories and build emotional connections. While gamers will recognise the music instantly, you don’t need to have picked up a controller to enjoy it and newcomers will discover why a new generation is filling concert halls to experience it.

Be a part of this unique event, featuring the combined forces of a 40-piece orchestra and a 150-strong massed choir transport you on a sonic journey through the worlds created within games, taking you from console to concert hall.

The concert includes music from:

Final Fantasy

Since 1987, Final Fantasy has been one of the most beloved gaming series in the world. Nobuo Uematsu, often hailed as the “Beethoven of video games”, has composed a multitude of beloved themes that have become concert staples, performed by orchestras around the world for over two decades.

Ori and the Blind Forest

A hand-painted fairytale about a small guardian spirit, British-born composer Gareth Coker created a lush, cinematic score of rising strings, intimate piano and wordless voices that’s drawn widespread critical acclaim and award recognition.

The Elder Scrolls

Jeremy Soule’s music for The Elder Scrolls defined what an epic fantasy world should sound like. Skyrim’s rousing Dragonborn theme features a thundering male chorus in the game’s invented dragon language and the soundtrack as a whole is arguably one of the most recognisable in modern gaming.
