Indie Symphony II

Returning for the second time, Indie Symphony II showcased some of the best and brightest soundtracks from independent video game developers from Australia and abroad. Performed live by over 60 musicians, soloists and two choirs, the program featured music from Baldur's Gate 3, UNDERTALE, ABZÛ, Hades II and more.

The performance was adorned by an all-star line up including soloists, Montaigne, Justine Anderson, Ryan Gonzales, Concordis Chamber Choir and the Vocal Consort from the Australian Boys Choir. It was hosted by Meena Shamaly (host of ABC Classic's Game Show) and conducted by Vanessa Scammell, and featured a very special world premiere of Dan Golding's Concerto for Orchestra and HONK with Golding himself making his debut as soloist on "HONK".

Every piece was impeccably performed and presented, and each was entirely powerful and evocative enough to stand tall without the context of the work they were pulled from. Jam Walker, SUPERJUMP
