Forget what you think you know about this cosplay-encouraged night out; we're back — bringing with us the Colorado Symphony Chorus — to perform even more of your favorite scores from Comic Con-themed movies and video games. The Tetralogy promises a line-up of songs from the hit, immersive concert experience Video Games Live™, including music from Skyrim and "One Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII, as well as themes from popular movie scores like The Nightmare Before Christmas™, Jurassic Park™, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™, and Star Wars™. The Symphony will also perform ABZÛ, the latest release from award-winning composer and hometown hero Austin Wintory. Plus, superstar violinist Sandy Cameron joins the Symphony for Austin's epic concerto from Assassin’s Creed Syndicate®! If you're a Deadpool diehard or a diva of The Doctor, break out your costumes for this incredibly fun night out.
