Hubbub

Friday, November 21: Video Games Live

Long before there was Xbox and Wii, there was Atari and Game Boy. Given the countless hours you played Ms. Pac Man, Space Invaders, and Super Mario Brothers, the electronic blips, beeps, and crescendos provided what could loosely be classified as the soundtrack of your life. Now Tommy Tallarico, who’s recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records for his vast repertory of compositions for video games, has created Video Games Live, which comes to the Citi Performing Arts Center (270 Tremont Street, Boston, 617.482.9393) tonight. The symphonic concert meets music event for drum-and-bass-heads meets light show features orchestras and choirs performing some tunes you’re sure to recognize in ways you never could have imagined. Think: Mozart at the arcade. Score your tickets ($35.50 to $65) at www.citicenter.org, or call 866.348.9738.
