The Golden State Pops Orchestra has announced they will perform a concert of video game music at the Warner Grand Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 3, 2007 at 8pm. The confirmed line-up includes: MediEvil: Resurrection, Halo, God of War, Final Fantasy, Medal of Honor, Harry Potter, EverQuest and more.
Under the evening’s program title “Be Entertained,” maestro Steven Allen Fox and Music Director Victor Pesavento aim to bring to the stage an intriguing production of contemporary music in a symphonic setting, performed by the Golden State Pops Orchestra. Guests at their February 3rd, “Video Game Soundtracks” performance include composers Bob & Barn (MediEvil: Resurrection), composer/conductor Gerard Marino (God of War), and composers/conductors Jason & Nolan Livesay (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire).
The Golden State Pops Orchestra was formed in January 2002 and is currently the only year-round pops orchestra in the Los Angeles area. The GSPO focuses on exciting and innovative concerts that are designed to entertain both the seasoned enthusiast as well as the casual music lover.
The orchestra’s repertoire includes film and television scores, legendary Broadway hits, and popular music of all kinds. Along with the more modern genres, the GSPO frequently programs influential pieces of the standard orchestral repertoire.
GSPO concerts often feature prominent guest artists and speakers. Recent guests include singer/actress Chase Masterson (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), Emmy award winning comedian Pat Hurley, the chart-topping modern rock band Dishwalla and singer JR Richards, as the lead in “Jesus Christ Superstar – In Concert.” In 2005, the orchestra gave the North American concert premiere of John Williams’ “Battle of the Heroes” from “Star Wars: Episode III-Revenge of the Sith.” In addition, the GSPO’s recording of Mascagni’s “Intermezzo Sinfonico” from “Cavalleria Rusticana” has been featured on commercials for the television show, Alias.
The Golden State Pops Orchestra is comprised of professional freelance musicians from around the Los Angeles area, many of whom are active in the recording industry. The GSPO’s musicians have played on the soundtracks to films such as “King Kong,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Finding Nemo” and “Fat Albert,” along with television shows including “The Simpsons” and “King of the Hill.”
