What happens when you have band geeks who are also video game geeks? You get a jazz band that performs video games songs and they were pretty amazing. I wonder if 8-Bit and the Single Players are on here. I know @wvgo.bsky.social are. That first half was fun and once this hall is packed.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at WVGO! One thing we are truly thankful for is this wonderful arrangement of Zelda's Lullaby written by local composer, clarinetist and all around cool guy, Chris Byman! Listen to the Sidequest Quintet performing it for @extralifewpg.bsky.social here!

One more preview of some of the music you'll hear at our GENESIS Concert, coming up on November 14th! Get your tickets today at wvgo.ca/tickets! There's a very subtle hint as to what game this is from, I'm not sure anyone is going to figure this one out. 😉

Another sneak peak at some of the music you'll hear at our Genesis concert on November 14th! We were originally planning on doing this piece at our outdoor concert this past June but thought it really needed to be heard in a hall!

Another Sidequest Quintet video! This one is from Larian Studios' smash hit Baldur's Gate 3! This arrangement was written by clarinetist Amanda Forest (@amandaforestclarinet on Insta)! Composer @borislavslavov.bsky.social even shared a clip someone else recorded on Twitter! Thanks again, Borislav!
