The Video Game Symphony is leveling up for its triumphant return to the Akron Civic Theatre! After a spectacular debut last fall, the VGS is back with a brand-new show: PRESS CONTINUE—an unforgettable night where the greatest music in gaming takes center stage. Experience the magic as a full orchestra and choir bring to life the soundtracks that defined generations. Journey through the joyful worlds of Super Mario Bros., the heroic quests of The Legend of Zelda, and the sweeping epics of Final Fantasy. Lose yourself in the mystery of Myst, the pulse-pounding drama of Uncharted 2, and the shadowy depths of Hollow Knight. Feel the nostalgia of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, the grandeur of World of Warcraft, and the spellbinding beauty of Ori and the Blind Forest—all performed with the breathtaking power and passion that only a live symphony orchestra can deliver.

This spectacular symphonic journey will be leveled up with a special guest performance by 88bit, the award-winning pianist celebrated for his virtuosic renditions of classic and modern game scores. His artistry and passion will add a thrilling new dimension to this already extraordinary night.
