A few years ago when we first heard about Video Games Live™ the concept sounded very intriguing. Imagine an immersive concert event featuring music from the most popular video games of all time? Wow, how many times in my life did I go to bed with the sounds of Myst or Everquest on my mind. Video Games Live features top orchestras and choirs performing along with exclusive video footage and music arrangements, synchronized lighting, solo performers, electronic percussionists, live action and unique interactive segments to create an explosive entertainment experience.

Take a bunch of video games that span the last 20 years, get a world class symphony orchestra, throw in a choir, a giant screen, and about a couple thousand video game fanatics of all ages and you have Video Games Live.

This is a concert event put on by the video game industry to help encourage and support the culture and art that video games have become. Video Games Live bridges a gap for entertainment by exposing new generations of music lovers and fans to the symphonic orchestral experience while also providing a completely new and unique experience for families and/or non-gamers. The show is heralded and enjoyed by the entire family. It’s the power & emotion of a symphony orchestra mixed with the excitement and energy of a rock concert and the technology and interactivity of a video game all completely synchronized to amazing cutting edge video screen visuals, state-of-the-art lighting and special on-stage interactive segments with the audience.

Razer believes that by sponsoring VGL we can help call attention to the cultural contributions of the game developers and those of us who have grown up playing video games. We will always believe that gaming is as vital and healthy pop-culture as any other form of entertainment and we encourage all gamers in the world to witness and participate in this cultural phenomenon.
