Video Games Live will perform in Yale University's Woolsey Hall, corner of College and Grove streets, on March 31st at 8 p.m. Video Games Live is a multi-media event celebrating the music of video games. Music will be performed by the Yale Symphony Orchestra and a full choir, synchronized with video footage, lighting, solo performers, electronic percussion, live action and interactive segments that create an explosive entertainment experience. This historic performance will be the first time symphonic video game music has ever been presented with a university.

Special events surrounding the show include a video game industry educational panel to take place on the Yale Campus the day before the concert - Friday, March 30th. This special panel event is open-to-the-public and there is no charge. The panel entitled "Video Games - Past, Present & Future" will consist of industry veterans Seamus Blackley (XBOX creator, game designer, CAA), Lorne Lanning (OddWorld Inhabitants), Hal Halpin (IEMA, ECA) as well as Video Games Live creators and industry composers Tommy Tallarico (Earthworm Jim, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Metroid Prime) and Jack Wall (Myst III, Myst IV, Jade Empire, Mass Effect). The event will take place in Sudler Hall on the Yale University Campus from 3:00PM to 5:00PM. Ticket prices range from $15 to $35.
