Tommy Tallarico is an icon to any one with a love of video games or modern classical music, and to those with a love of both he is a veritable god.  Despite having no musical training beyond playing his parents' piano as a kid, Tallarico was able to virtually infiltrate the video game industry and compose for nearly 300 games, winning over 35 industry awards and establishing his own namesake studio which has become the largest audio production house in the multimedia world.  While these accomplishments on their own would certainly be amazing, Tallarico, with conducter Jack Wall, have gone on to create the phenomenon that is Video Games Live, an orchestral rock experience, utilizing the music, images, and raw emotion of video games to create an immersive experience like no other.  The concert, if it can be called such, has gone on to repeat world-wide tours and untold success, introducing those in the video game world to the experience of the symphony and vice-versa, letting worlds collide for a spectacular musical outcome.
