Video Game Orchestra

The Video Game Orchestra (VGO) is a Boston-based project that performs its own "rockestral" arrangements of video game music with a rock band, orchestra and choir. The project was created by Shota Nakama, an Okinawan-born producer who graduated from Berklee College of Music and The Boston Conservatory. Comparative to the other existing major video game concert acts, which mostly focus on the pure orchestral performances, the rock band element is the core essence of the VGO. Their concerts are presented as a rock show with entertaining audience engagement, improvised solos and 80's like show tricks on stage.

It was formed in May of 2008 by Shota Nakama, a graduate from Berklee College of Music.
