Games in Concert: The Score
You play the game, we play the score
Joeke Hoekstra, dirigent
Metropole Orkest was one of the first European orchestras to bring game music to concert halls. Now that game music is evolving and gaining more attention, Smartphone Orchestra and Metropole Orkest are taking it a step further. What happens when we bring not only music but also gameplay into the concert hall?
The audience plays a specially designed game, and the scores determine ‘The Score’: the music the orchestra performs. The result is a completely new and often hilarious concert experience, where the audience and orchestra collaborate. Recently, The Score won a Dutch Game Award in the category of Best Innovation.
In addition to the interactive game, the Metropole Orkest performs some of the most beautiful game music. Epic compositions from games like Assassin’s Creed and Fallout, as well as the surprising soundtracks of Cuphead and Undertale.
Games in Concert: The Score is made possible by Het Cultuurfonds, Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie, and Cultuurloket DigitALL.
