Yet another full orchestral/choir concert will be hitting the US (more specifically, California) this coming summer. Only unlike the Dear Friends Final Fantasy concerts, this one will is titled "Video Games Live" and will feature music from both popular and not-so-popular games/franchises, including Metal Gear Solid, Sonic the Hedgehog, Headhunter, and Beyond Good & Evil. The concert will take place on Wednesday, July 6, 2005, 8:00 PM, at the Hollywood Bowl. The performing orchestra is the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Tickets may or may not already be on sale, I'm not sure. I can't find a link to purchase any on the website.
In addition to the music, they'll also have some other fancy crap:
