Press Start is a New York City-based video game music orchestra, producing and streaming concerts in the city and worldwide. Wielding an instrument in one hand and a game controller in the other, Press Start performs music from popular video games alongside symphonic classics. We defy expectations and are leading the charge in bringing gamers and symphony-goers together. Our core values are supporting local musicians through equitable hiring, revamping the classical music canon with energy and originality, and playing video game music that captures the hearts of players from their first playthrough.
