03 May 2025 Luzern (Lucerne) (Switzerland)
Assassin’s Creed Symphonic Adventure
City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kevin Griffiths - KKL
Program Info: After highly acclaimed performances in Paris, Barcelona, Cologne and upcoming performances in London, “Assassin's Creed Symphonic Adventure” is coming to Switzerland for the first time as a large orchestral spectacle. Experience the epic music from the legendary video game series live in the KKL Lucerne concert hall!
In 2007, bartender Desmond Miles burst onto the screens. In the first part of the action-adventure video game “Assassin's Creed,” Miles is kidnapped by a modern Templar organization. Using a machine called the Animus, he must go through the genetic memories of his ancestors, who belonged to the Assassin Brotherhood. Since 2007, Assassin's Creed players have been traveling through time - including to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, Florence and Rome in the Renaissance era, the Caribbean during the golden age of piracy and the Empire of China.
Over the past 15 years, the Assassin's Creed series has become one of the most popular video game brands, known for its diverse and captivating stories as well as its spectacular recreations of the worlds in which players transform the story into their very own playground can do.
All these actions, places and eras have been translated into versatile music for orchestra, choir and vocal soloists by composers such as Jesper Kyd, Lorne Balfe, Brian Tyler, Sarah Schachner and Austin Wintory. Fast-paced action music with gripping rhythms interplaying with lyrical and mysterious moments are always colored by Far Eastern sounds, Caribbean percussion, pirate songs and folkloric elements - each part of the "Assassin's Creed" series has its very own musical identity.
With «Assassin's Creed – Symphonic Adventure», produced by Overlook Events and the creative team Ubisoft , the music moves into the spotlight. While the 70-member City Light Symphony Orchestra with the 40 singers of the City Light Vocal Ensemble under the direction of Kevin Griffiths plays music from the various soundtracks, video game excerpts shine on the big screen in time. At the start there will also be a newly composed concert overture by Jesper Kyd, the musical foster father of the “Assassin's Creed” series.
