Monday 12 September, 8pm: Symphonic Video Games
The video games business is growing like never before, and the music to accompany such prolific stories has come a long way from the synth-heavy soundtracks of yesteryear. To celebrate National Video Games Day, Jane Jones presents a varied mix of modern day scores, with a nod towards the retro consoles of the past. She’ll also feature complete performances of classical music used on certain video game soundtracks.
