A high-energy multimedia concert blending live orchestral performance with video and lighting, featuring music from Halo, Skyrim, Final Fantasy and more, with special guest Tommy Tallarico.
Video Games Live comes to Maurice Abravanel Hall on Saturday, January 2, 2027, at 7:30 PM. The Utah Symphony presents the show, with Tommy Tallarico appearing as a special guest.
It's a multimedia concert that pairs a live orchestral performance with synchronized video footage and lighting, bringing music from games like Halo, Skyrim, and Final Fantasy into the concert hall. The Utah iteration is billed as "leveled up" for local audiences: alongside the big themes from those titles, the program includes music from Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy, a game created right here in Utah, and pieces by local composers whose work has appeared in Blizzard's Overwatch, The Lord of the Rings, and Avatar.
That local angle adds a bit of home-grown context to the night. You'll hear the well-known scores that travel with the tour, but you'll also hear music tied to the Utah game development scene and to composers who've worked on some of the biggest franchises in gaming and film. The whole thing is presented by the Utah Symphony, so the orchestra is the one doing the heavy lifting on stage.
