“Heroes – A Video Game Symphony”, with its origins in the mastermind of producer Jason Michael Paul, promises to take the audience on the ancient hero’s journey: a hero goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home transformed, celebrating the heroes ordinary people become when entering the world of a game. Each stage of the Joseph Campbell monomyth features a chapter in the story, each represented by a suitable global favorite game and carefully selected music, narrated by the incomparable Nigel Carrington.

Fact: The gaming landscape is ever-evolving, and soundtracks are getting better and better by the day. The music is part of every gamer’s culture: it sketches the world he immerses himself in, it is the story of the hero achieving unbelievable things, and it is the heart and soul of it all.
Video game soundtracks from worldwide favorites such as “Assassin’s Creed”, “Bioshock”, “Castlevania”, “Dear Esther”, “Diablo”, “Fallout”, “Guild Wars 2”, “God of War Ascension”, “Halo”, “Mass Effect”, “Metal Gear Solid”, “Shadow of the Colossus”, “The Elder Scrolls”, and “World of Warcraft” will be reimagined in a new symphonic way with an unusual twist, inducing a new era of respect for the video game composer and ushering in a new generation of symphony-goers at the same time. This unique fusion of video game culture and classical music performance will be performed live by the magnificent 70-piece Oregon Symphony under the baton of maestro Kevin Zakresky and the singers from the Oregon Chorale, accompanied by scenes from the gameplay, illustrations, full-motion videos, and behind-the-scenes footage shown on a large cinematic screen.
Producer Jason Michael Paul collaborated with renowned video game soundtrack composers such as Nobuo Uematsu and Jesper Kyd to create the magical moments of this fresh perspective on favorite soundtracks – almost an entire new hero’s adventure on its own! Rumor also has it that the innovative performance at The Hollywood Pantages Theatre will feature a special guest appearance by composer Inon Zur, whose music from Playstation 5’s exclusive “Rise of Rōnin” will debut at the concert.
