In case you’re unfamiliar, the Video Games Symphonic is a concert by the Manila Symphony Orchestra where they play beloved video game music live. The first show took place back on May 8, 2019, with a repeat performance happening on May 26, 2019.

The first two events featured the MSO play several iconic tracks, including ‘Tifa’s Theme’ from Final Fantasy 7, a Super Mario Bros. medley, and more.
The reveal of the upcoming video game music event was made by the Ayala Museum. In a promotion for the Music at the Museum series (the first of which is a Bach performance), the Video Games Symphonic event was listed, and it is happening at the said museum on August 25, 2022 at 6:30pm.
Currently, there’s no word yet on ticket prices and a setlist for the show. Expect to see an official announcement on tickets at the Ayala Museum social media pages.
