Game Music Festival: The Symphony of the Realms
Gather your party to enter the Forgotten Realms as the epic Baldur’s Gate 3 soundtrack is performed live in concert.
The Philharmonia Orchestra and Hertfordshire Chorus join forces for a full symphonic concert experience guiding you through the universe of Dungeons & Dragons.
Baldur’s Gate 3, the most recent instalment of the saga, has already captured the hearts and imaginations of many. Its phenomenal music by Borislav Slavov is doubtlessly responsible for its captivating and immersive tenor.
Slavov previously composed music for many video games including CRYSIS, Ryse: Son of Rome and Divinity: Original Sin 2. His renowned artistic style seamlessly aligns with the universe of Baldur’s Gate.
The soundtrack masterfully incorporates a diverse range of instruments and human voices, creating a tapestry of musical expression. These compositions brim with contrast, featuring grand, rhythmic passages enriched by full brass, as well as ethereal, seraphic melodic lines interwoven with sung beauty.
Join us for a night of ballads and bards as we enjoy Slavov’s work orchestrated live in concert, for the very first time.
