rePLAY: Symphony of Heroes program details and tour dates
rePLAY: Symphony of Heroes is a new video game concert series from PLAY! and Symphony of the Goddesses producer Jason Michael Paul. Like PLAY!, the concert combines orchestral arrangements of popular game music with overhead video projections. However, unique aspect of the concert is that it follows a narrative or ‘monomyth’.
