Press play and immerse yourself in a world where orchestral power meets digital fantasy. GRAMMY Award-winner Christian Reif leads Australia’s brightest young musicians into new musical territories as they conjure cinematic soundscapes and epic adventures through works by Anna Clyne, Nobuo Uematsu, Daniel Nelson, and Stravinsky.
From the sweeping drama of The Firebird to the pixelated magic of Final Fantasy IX, this concert blurs the boundaries between classical tradition and gaming imagination, blending the fantasy of late Romanticism with the restless and expansive soundscapes of digital worlds.
Presented as part of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s Sidney Myer Free Concert Series, don’t miss this thrilling celebration of youthful artistry, steampunk storms and midnight adventures. Game on - this is symphonic fantasy at its finest.
