Power Up: Across the Nation

I'm so thrilled to share that the press release for Power Up: The Art of Video Game Music has seen an incredible response! After being distributed via a national wire service, it has been picked up by over 270 media outlets across the country.

"While these listings don’t necessarily translate directly into ticket reservations, they significantly amplify the conversation around the event and the broader connection between classical and orchestral music and the gaming industry. This kind of exposure is invaluable—it elevates awareness of the project and highlights the vital role video game music plays in shaping new revenue streams for composers and musicians, while also attracting a wider audience to the classical genre. We’re grateful for your support in making this event possible and look forward to continuing this important dialogue. Thank you for being a part of this journey! We look forward to a great event during SXSW 2025!"
