RTE: Beyond The Console

RTÉ Concert Orchestra
Robert Ames, conductor 

Robert Ames and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra perform classic gaming scores, from Final Fantasy toFallout 4.

With its complex worlds and adventurous storylines, video gaming goes hand-in-hand with orchestral music and epic soundtracks, with games like Kingdom Hearts and Dear Esther inspiring some of the most inventive contemporary sounds. 

Experience the music of gaming as it breaks out from its screens and speakers into full orchestra sound, and conductor Robert Ames takes an electronically expanded RTÉ Concert Orchestra on a quest through universes.  

Now the music of gaming breaks out from its screens and speakers into full orchestral sound – as conductor Robert Ames takes the RTÉ Concert Orchestra from classic titles like The Legend of Zelda, through to Jessica Curry’s haunted soundscapes and to the new worlds of Hildur Guðnadóttir’s critically acclaimed Battlefield 2042.
