For those who haven’t had a chance to catch Video Games Live while they’ve been on tour there is exciting news! PBS and Video Games Live will be working together to film a show at the Lakefront Arena in New Orleans with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra that will air in 2010 on PBS in the US. Tickets for the concert which will take pace on Febuary 5th, 2010 just went on sale this past friday Dec 18th and start at $15. The concert itself will be put on the air in June 2010.

“We believe the concept of introducing young audiences to an orchestra through the music of video games fits perfectly with PBS’s mission in a very new and creative way,” said PBS Vice-President of Programming Joe Campbell.  “We are very optimistic that the program will be a big success!”

Along with the concert that will be broadcast on PBS, a DVD and Blu-Ray will be released as well with extra segments and special extras like behind the scenes footage, a making of, interactive angles, exclusive game developer and composer interviews, and special never before seen game trailers.
