Chrono Trigger

1 upcoming performance in New York

At The Theater at MSG, CHRONO TRIGGER Orchestra Concert brings the Chrono Trigger score into a live ensemble setting, recast in a rock/pop-leaning orchestral language. The program, “Melodies Across Time,” moves through themes tied to the game’s shifting eras, treating familiar cues as concert works rather than background music. If this is the series’ first New York presentation, it also marks how game music now occupies the city’s major halls as repertory. The most interesting moments are where the amplified rhythm section and strings negotiate the same pulse without smoothing it out.
