The Washington Metropolitan Gamer Symphony Orchestra (WMGSO) is a community orchestra and chorus whose mission is to share and celebrate video game music with a wide audience, primarily by putting on affordable, accessible concerts in the D.C. area.
Game music weaves a complex melodic thread through the traditions, shared
memories, values, and mythos of an entire international and intergenerational culture. WMGSO showcases this music that largely escapes recognition in professional circles.
The result: classical music with a 21st-century twist, drawing non-gamers to the artistic merits of video game soundtracks and attracting new audiences to orchestral concert halls.
Ages: All Ages
Runtime: 1 hour and 45 minutes including a 15-minute intermission
