The Oregon Symphony is about to get its game on.
This weekend only, November 7th-8th, the world touring production of Video Games Live is descending upon Portland.
Combine the energy of a rock concert, the passion of a symphony, and then throw in lazers, choirs, lighting, big-screen video footage, live action, unique interactive segments… and you’ve got one explosive experience. Even if you’re not a gamer, you’ll enjoy these energetic performances.
Video Games Live has been performing sold out shows from Broadway to Singapore since 2005. They stop in Portland for two nights of nerdy, yet completely enthralling entertainment. This is one big-budget production you won’t want to miss.
This is also a great opportunity to support your local symphony and arts community. Being a season ticket holder, I’ve had the privilege of watching Carlos Kalmar, our great conductor, and symphony members try to diversify their concerts to attract bigger crowds and, most importantly, different audiences. Our local symphony organization has taken a hit, like others in our community, due to the recession. The entire ensemble has taken big pay cuts but continue to perform and dazzle audiences with the same enthusiasm. Now let’s get out there and show our appreciation!
Tickets are still available for both shows and range in price from $20-70.
Saturdays show is at 7pm. Sundays is at 3pm.
Tickets can be purchased at the PCPA box office or through Ticketmaster.
Come early to participate in costume contests and game play.
