Performance NotesLike the film industry before it, gaming has inspired a whole wave of composers who have created new sound-worlds to match the medium’s ever more richly imagined visual realms.

Returning after his Pioneers of Sound and sci-fi film music Proms, Robert Ames conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for the first-ever Gaming Prom. The Royal Albert Hall is transformed into a vast sonic chamber in a mini history of gaming, from classic console titles of the 1980s to the latest release in the Battlefield franchise.

European Premiere of 'Selections from Battlefield 2042', Robert Ames.
