“If you’re the type to either hum themes from games like Halo, Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda or Pokemon … you’re in luck: a chamber ensemble will be performing OPENWORLD at Laval’s Salle André-Mathieu May 23 and at Place des Arts’ Maison symphonique downtown May 30,” writes J.P. Karwacki in Thursday’s (5/20) Gazette (Montreal, Canada). “The event promises to include pieces from classic titles of the 1990s as well as music from more recent titles, performed by the … film concert orchestra Orchestre FILMharmonique. The group has been behind concerts of music from such films as Star Wars: A New Hope and Lord of the Rings in the past. As with those performances, spectators can expect visual aids on-screen…. If you’re a Montrealer who’s interest is more than piqued by concerts of video game and movie music, it’s worth noting that Place des Arts intends to host a Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 in Concert event in September; that performance was originally slated to occur in 2020, but had to be postponed.”
