Storyline

Experience epic game music in a whole new light. At DR Koncerthuset, the 150-member Danish National Symphony Orchestra and Concert Choir turn the hall into a series of vivid sound-scapes drawn from beloved video games – from the heroic sweep of The Legend of Zelda to the modern intensity of League of Legends. Special guest Eivør Pálsdóttir lends her powerful Nordic voice to the hit song “Legends Never Die,” joined by rising Danish soloists Isabel Schwartzbach and Adam Riis. Under the direction of James Sherlock, every melody is re-imagined for full orchestra and choir, creating 70 minutes of stirring, cinematic music that speaks to gamers and newcomers alike. Gaming X Symphony – Legends and Quests in Concert: discover the stories, the emotion, and the spectacle of game music—performed live on stage.
