Thank you for checking out the Video Game Orchestra at UC Davis!
The Video Game Orchestra at UC Davis was started by Ziad Asadi and Sogol Aliabadi in 2017, with the goal of allowing college musicians to explore the wonders of video game music. What started out as a small group of 9 musicians has now grown into a community of more than 90 members! All of our members are current students or alumni of UC Davis, and all of our pieces are arranged by our own members. Each quarter, we select a theme for our concert that explores a genre of video games, allowing us to cover a diverse array of games throughout the year. In past concerts, we have played tracks from games such as Kingdom Hearts, Hades, Undertale, Journey and more.
The goal of VGO includes spreading the joy of video game music to our entire community too! Most recently, VGO performed at the Davis Cherry Blossom Festival where our members played tracks from games such as Pikmin, Katamari Damacy, and Pokemon. Our concerts also allow us to gather the community to have fun and enjoy some amazing music! If you are interested in learning more about us, please contact us at [email protected]! |
