Symphonic Game Music in Concert
The Graz Philharmonic Orchestra breaks new ground and performs music from video games live at Graz Opera House.
On June 21, 2026, the Graz Philharmonic Orchestra will venture into the world of video games for the first time in its history under the direction of Stefan Birnhuber. The program promises a journey through this diverse world, from well-known melodies such as Angry Birds, to blockbuster games such as Prince of Persia, to indie titles such as Forgotten Anne, which may even surprise die-hard gamers. The soundscape of this concert ranges from Golden Hollywood to historical-medieval pieces and epic music, showcasing the musical spectrum of game music. …
Framed by video recordings that provide insights into the aesthetics of the games, as well as background information on the compositions and the video games, the audience can look forward to a varied and rousing concert – whether pro, hardcore gamer or noob.
Now that video game music has already conquered concert halls such as the Elbphilharmonie or the Tonhalle in Düsseldorf, it will soon be time to press play in Graz too!
