Video Game Orchestra Performs Live

I recently received an email from composer DUNCAN WATT (BROTHERS IN ARMS: HELL'S HIGHWAY) about an upcoming concert at the Berkless Performance Center on March 5, 2009. If you're in the Boston area, you might want to check it out.


Hi everyone - I'm happy to announce the Video Game Orchestra will be performing some material I've worked on from Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway on March 5th, at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. the 90-piece (!) ensemble will be playing a wide variety of video game music, including pieces from some wonderful composers, including Jack Wall (who I believe will be guest-conducting his material), Gerard Marino, Keith Zizza, and many others.

Full information below - I hope to meet some of you there!
