Video games are a small passion on mine and the other day I stumbled upon this incredible show Video Games Live on Sky Arts 1. This epic show is a symphony of well known and beloved video game music like Halo, Mario, Zelda, Guitar Hero, warcraft, Sonic etc.
Due to be hitting Europe in April and May this could be a great chance of seeing classical music in a fun way.
It also goes to show what unusual careers can come from learning an instrument. I’m sure many of these musicians wouldn’t have imagined in their wildest dreams that they would be playing the Mario theme tune for a living. Along with the job roles of the people who created these brilliant soundtracks for the game in the first place it just goes to show there’s no limit to where learning an instrument can take you…
P.s. if you’re on Xbox why don’t you look me up at Axvoodoo : )
