PLAY! will also feature music from The Darkness by composer Gustaf Grefberg when the tour performs in Hartford.
Superstar percussionist Rony Barrak will perform video game music together with orchestra and choir once again. Rony Barrak has been a part of PLAY! for three concerts in the past, at the world-premiere in Chicago, at the Europe-premiere in Stockholm and at the Canadian premiere in Toronto.
