I'll translate it later. The gist of it is that Ronni will play music from the computer game Halo series together with boy choir Sølvguttene - Boys of Silver . This will take place at the Jacob Church (Jakobkirken) in Oslo on the 28-September, in conjunction with the release of Halo 3.

The Boys of Silver and Ronni Le Tekrø does «Halo». Written by SNORRE BRYNE for dagbladet.no. Translated by Petter Stene for the fans of Ronni Le Tekro at www.ronniletekro.com. Mandag 27.08.2007, 15:54 (Dagbladet.no): The past few years it's become a tradition to get orchestras, band and marching bands to play music from famous computer games. Be it "Super Mario Bros", "Final Fantasy" or "Halo", concert series like "Video Games Live" has been well received by the audience. In conjunction with the release of "Halo 3" in September, Microsoft has gather TNT-guitarist Ronni Le Tekro and The Boys of Silver to play music from the "Halo" series on the 28-September in the Church of Jacob in Oslo. With choir music, guitar solos and visual art, the culture church is expected to be choke full with an audience out of the ordinary. - This is an exciting project for a choir that normally does church music. Especually for the the boys in the choir, who think this is great as they like other kids are very interested in computer games, says Fredrik Otterstad, conductor for The Boys of Silver in a press release. Otterstad is now working on writing parts from the computer game soundtrack where traditional choir will be combined with guitar solos. The music will get visual aid from art group For*Your*Eyes*Truly, who will be using animation, image sequences and movies from the "Halo" universe. This will be mixed live during the concert. - This is an event for the fans, and will obviously be open for anyone. Details about ticketing will be released shortly, says Silje Thoresen in Microsoft to Dagbladet.no.

I'll be there for sure. An avid gamer, fan of both Ronni and The Boys of Silver, it should be a great event.

Sounds like a lot of fun!
Is he doing music for the game or just from
the game?
Be sure to wear your hard hat into the church
just in case!

If you look at the link, you will see an example. They are playing music from computer games, but in a totally different setting than where you normally would hear this, and many times arranged for different instruments (marching bands, boy choir and solo guitar)... It's a cultural event for geeks, sort of speak, that blends into fans of the artists, who will in many ways experience different sides of the artist.

Now, we've come to known Ronni as not being shy to try out different stages for his music. This will not be his music, so that will be unusual. I'll catch up on some soundtracks before I head to the event. Looking forward to it.

Thanks for the info, Pest! Sounds like an awesome display!

what will it cost?? i'll be there if the price is right

Not sure to be honest. It's an Microsoft event, there are limited seats. Granted it is to celebrate the release of a new game, but I'm sure they'll try to get some marketing dollars back charging something. I'll see what I can find out.
