WMGSO Presents: A Video Game Recital

Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra ensemble is proud to present our summer recital: An Evening of Video Game Music.

Come see captivating performances from our rhythm section, which includes percussion, piano, harp, guitar, and bass guitar. All of the music for this recital has been tirelessly arranged by our own musicians who enjoy adding their personal takes on our favorite classic video game soundtracks.

General Admission Presales will end at 12:00 PM the date of the performance. Digital Streaming Tickets will still be available for a suggested $5 donation for those watching along at home on Twitch.

General Admission At-The Door tickets will be available at the venue ($20 each).

More About WMGSO

The Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra (WMGSO) is a nonprofit community orchestra based in the D.C.-metro area. We have over 130 active members participating in our full orchestra and choir, and we arrange and perform music exclusively from video games!

Because most video game music is not written for an orchestra and choir, our musicians must transform the original compositions into an orchestral version called an arrangement. Arranging is one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of what we do.

The vast majority of our repertoire was arranged exclusively for WMGSO by our own members. Our music is based on a wide range of video games: classic to new, popular to obscure. Several of our arrangements also draw on and incorporate classical works and traditions, making them even more unique and special. We’re nerds who are committed to the source material and the classical art.

We recorded our first studio album in 2018 and are currently raising funds to record our second:

Crystals in Time is not only our second studio album, but also a celebration of WMGSO's 10-year anniversary! Our release date is TBA as we work on editing and mastering the tracks. We reached our funding goal, but you can still check out the Crystals In Time Givebutter if you'd like to learn more and contribute.
