The Video Game Orchestra at UC Davis was founded in 2017 with the goal of allowing college musicians to explore the wonders of video game music. What started out as a small group of 9 musicians has now grown into a community of more than 100 members, including current UCD students, alumni, and community members. Additionally, all of our pieces are arranged by our own members. Each quarter, we select a theme for our concert that explores a genre of video games, allowing us to cover a diverse array of games throughout the year. In past concerts, we have played pieces from games such as Super Mario Galaxy, Hollow Knight, Fortnite, and more.

Join us on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:30 PM to experience the music of Determination, including pieces from beloved games such as Deltarune, Minecraft, Hollow Knight: Silksong, and more!
