BAFTA Games in Concert unveils star-studded VIP Meet & Greet composer line-up
BAFTA, the UK’s leading charity and academy for the screen arts, in collaboration with Nibbs Events and global entertainment company Esk, is delighted to reveal the full line-up of video game soundtrack composers who will be at the BAFTA Games in Concert post show Meet & Greet on 31st January.
Composers at the Meet & Greet include:

Lyndon Holland - Virginia
Inon Zur - Fallout 4

“Most composers tend to toil away anonymously, with little chance to connect directly to the players for whom it's all being made,” said Austin Wintory, conductor and composer. “The BAFTA Meet & Greet is a lovely opportunity for us to step out of our studios and, in tandem with the joys of the concert hall (itself a rarity!), have real conversations with the audience to whom all this work is dedicated!”
When buying tickets, fans can purchase add-on admission to the post-show VIP Meet & Greet, offering a rare opportunity to meet iconic game composers, enjoy drinks and canapés and take part in signing opportunities.
The premiere concert honours two decades of trailblazing game music recognised at the BAFTA Games Awards. Suites arranged exclusively for BAFTA Games in Concert will include titles from across the 20-year history of the awards, uniting standout moments from beloved franchises and landmark soundtracks.
The performance will feature the BBC Concert Orchestra and London Voices under the direction of BAFTA-winning composer Austin Wintory, with BAFTA award-winning band Sea Power joining for a special feature of Disco Elysium.
