Norwalk Gamer Symphony Orchestra

Join the Norwalk Gamer Symphony Orchestra as they bring your favorite video game soundtracks to life! Whether you’re a longtime gamer or a live music fan looking for something new, the NGSO will take you on a symphonic journey through nostalgic classics and modern masterpieces. Featuring music from The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Katamari Damacy, RuneScape, and more, experience iconic video game music performed by local Connecticut musicians and, most importantly, fans that put their love of video games at the heart of every performance.

The NGSO is a community orchestra based in Norwalk, Connecticut, and commits itself to the study, performance, and appreciation of video game scores. Founded in 2016, the volunteer-based, audition-free ensemble has performed throughout Connecticut in its almost ten-year history, including locales such as the Connecticut Convention Center, Westport MakerFaire, the SoNo Collection, and the Sacred Heart University Community Theatre.

The orchestra showcases an atypical instrumentation for an orchestra, from the normal (violins, clarinets, trumpets, etc.) to the unusual (bass flute, saxophone, traditional flutes, drum sets, etc.) to the very unusual (electric guitar, synthesizer, MIDI wind controller, etc.), and possesses a repertoire that reflects that diversity – and which is often arranged by its own members. Audiences can experience the NGSO’s unique sound at concerts and showcases they hold throughout the year.

While the NGSO’s focus is on rehearsal and performance, the orchestra also has an online presence and engages in multiple virtual projects throughout the year, including DLCs (Digital Large Collaborations, in which members individually record parts to add to a full ensemble), virtual recitals, and a yearly Video Game Awards all shared across their channels. Fostering a sense of community, engagement and collaboration carries strong weight within the organization – with the hope of creating a meaningful musical and social experience for members and followers alike.

Cavalera Chaos A.D.

The thrumming of a heartbeat announces the return of the Cavalera brothers to their most volatile recording, the carnage-driven, adrenaline-fueled onslaught that is only known as CHAOS AD. Just over thirty years ago Max and Iggor Cavalera took the world by storm when they released their fifth studio album upon the masses, a record that has stood the test of time through the decades. Though the years have passed, CHAOS AD is as timeless and relevant as the day it was released. While wars are waged around the globe, violence is witnessed in the streets, hate and disparity are rampant in our everyday lives, albums like CHAOS AD are what bind us together, being a prospect of light in an otherwise bleak and corrupt world.

This September, Cavalera and crew will be embarking across the U.S. on their RETURN TO CHAOS tour, alongside other remarkable acts such as Slayer, Lamb Of God, Power Trip, Sanguisugabogg and many more purveyors of extreme metal. With the obvious success of their recent re-recordings, it is guaranteed that the Cavalera duo will be bringing their top-notch energy and proficiency to reviving CHAOS AD on stage. Songs like Refuse/Resist, Territory, Slave New World and Propaganda have been heralded as anthems for the underdogs, and to witness these tracks brought back to life is nothing short of a blessing. CHAOS AD is still regarded as one of the most influential recordings of the 90’s, garnering them Gold Record status and a benchmark in the halls of heavy metal history.

Max shouts out a rallying cry, “Tanks on the streets, confronting police, bleeding the plebs!” And Iggor thunders through the drum intro to Territory like an Apache Helicopter. Silence means death! Stand on your feet! Cavalera will be bombarding the states, decimating every stage they encounter as if they were a warzone.
