Organizers of “Games in Concert” sent out word that the second event will be conducted by Emmy award-winning composer Laura Karpman (Steven Spielberg’s TAKEN). It will be performed in Holland featuring live symphony orchestral performances of popular video game music scores; the concert will be performed by the Metropole Orchestra and PA’dam Choir at the Music Centre Vredenburg on December 8.

“It’s so inspiring to be a part of this performance. I believe that games are a terrific way for audiences to hear and experience serious music,” said Laura Karpman. “The sheer number of hours alone that people are listening and engaging with orchestral music is hugely exciting and encouraging about the future of the art form.”

Karpman has also worked on Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom that won PLAY Magazine’s best original soundtrack of the year (2006) award. She has also worked on EverQuest II, Clive Barker’s Jericho and even contributed bonus material for Halo 3.

Some of the orchestral arrangements that will be performed at the concert include Final Fantasy, Halo, Hitman, Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Zelda, Soul Calibur 2, Unreal Tournament, StarCraft and more.
