Nikolai presses play on video games
As an avid gamer and music lover, Drive presenter Nikolai Beilharz is ready to press play on his favourite video game soundtracks with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
From 8-bit pioneers to modern-day epic worlds, the ASO is powering up for a bold new concert of iconic gaming music.
Evolving from the nostalgic beeps and boops of the 80s, to some of the most cinematic and powerful soundtracks of today, video game compositions help bring virtual worlds to life.
Whether you grew up playing Tetris and Sonic, lost yourself in the worlds of Call of Duty and The Legend of Zelda, or spent hours playing Super Mario, video game soundtracks are surprisingly nostalgic and familiar.
Join Nikolai for Drive, as ASO musicians preview the 'Press Play' gaming music concert and perform live in the ABC's Collinswood studio on Friday 13 June.
Plus, there's tickets to win to be at the live concert and experience the classical soundtracks yourself.
