Helix Collective are classical musicians busting out of the traditional mold. From crossover dance music, to storytelling, to film, television, and video game music, the Los Angeles-based ensemble takes the best of classical chamber music and makes it the life of the party.
Level Up! features game music from the globally popular Assassin’s Creed and the Riot Games Cinematic 2023 to revolutionary indie games including Telling Lies and Dungeon Defenders. The music will be played live to select game highlights throughout the show. Helix Collective and the Composers Diversity Collective present this concert featuring a roster of BIPOC and women composers, shining a light on some of the biggest talents in video game music today.
Featuring video game music by Winifred Phillips (Assassin’s Creed Liberation), Nainita Desai (Telling Lies, Immortality), Edwin Wendler (Bladed Fury, Honor of Kings), Jessica Curry (Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs), Afshin Cohen (Dungeon Defenders), Chase Bethea (Stardander School for Witches), Sid De La Cruz (Unearthing Mars 2: The Ancient War), Min He (Zombie Rollerz), and George Shaw (Hop On - Lunar Revel 2023 Cinematic Riot Games).
