Yes, PLAY! A Videogame Symphony is still alive and kicking, and will be coming to Eugene, OR on April 24, 2010. The performance will take place in the Silva Concert Hall at 7:30 PM and will feature the Eugene Symphony and Eugene Symphony Choir. Jeremy Soule will also be in attendance, which is a rare treat.
This news prompted me to check out the tour’s official website, where I discovered something else of interest. As it turns out, Andy Brick is now the tour’s Principal Conductor and Music Director, a role that was originally held by Arnie Roth. I guess it’s official that he’s not longer involved with the series. Andy Brick should sound vaguely familiar to you, as he’s worked on a number of concerts, including Europe’s GC (Games Convention) series, and also has orchestrated a number of game titles over the years.
What do you think of the news? Will you be headed to Eugene, OR to hear PLAY! and meet Jeremy Soule?
