About This Event

Fantastic worlds, epic adventures, complex characters and huge moral choices 鈥� the universe of computer gaming is a natural match for orchestral music, and in the 21st century games have created a huge and passionate global audience for some of the most vivid, ambitious and inventive music currently being written for symphony orchestra. In this first ever Gaming Prom, Robert Ames 鈥� best-known at the Proms for his explorations of sci-fi and electroacoustic music 鈥� takes an electronically expanded Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on an odyssey from the classic console titles of the 1980s, through Jessica Curry鈥檚 haunted soundscapes to the European concert premiere of music from Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir鈥檚 and Sam Slater鈥檚 score for Battlefield 2042.
