Video games and symphonic music come together at the Palau de la Música Catalana, with the OSV and Games&Symphonies.

After the success of last season, the Orquestra Simfònica del Vallès (OSV) in collaboration with Games&Symphonies presents the second edition of "Videojocs en concert!", an immersive musical experience that fuses the most emblematic soundtracks of video games performed live and with projections on the big screen.

The concert will take place on Saturday, April 5th at the Palau de la Música Catalana, with two sessions scheduled at 5:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Under the direction of Adrián Ronda, the OSV will perform iconic pieces from video games such as Fallout, Hollow Knight, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Ori, Hades, Starfield and Neva, among others. The concert will also feature the participation of the Cor Jove Amics de la Unió, directed by Marta Dosaiguas.

This year, Games&Symphonies proposes a journey through the history of video games, from nostalgia to the present day. The repertoire includes pieces such as Street Fighter II, with the unmistakable music of Yoko Shimomura, and Hollow Knight, created by Team Cherry, where Christopher Larkin's melodies guide players through the enigmatic Hallownest. The soundtrack of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, by Gareth Coker, and the music of Hades II, with compositions by Darren Korb and Austin Wintory, will also be performed. Other highlights of the program include Assassin's Creed II, with Jesper Kyd's iconic melody that accompanies Ezio Auditore's adventures in 15th-century Florence, and Civilization VI, with Christopher Tin's Sogno di Volare, a tribute to the history of humanity.

The concert will feature prominent composers. Austin Wintory will conduct his scores for Abzû and Hades II live, while the group Berlinist will perform their music for Gris and Neva, two highly acclaimed indie video games. Mentrix, who co-wrote the soundtrack for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown with Gareth Coker, will also be present to relive the epic of Sargon.
