Meet the Mario Maestros Who Have Videogame Music Rocking Concert Halls

Tennessee Williams. Aaron Copland. Dizzy Gillespie. Some of the nation's most respected artists have been honored onstage at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, over the past few decades. On a recent evening, it was Sam Greszes' turn.

Greszes, a lanky 18-year-old Northwestern University student, wasn't being feted for his contribution to American arts and letters but for his costume: He waddled onto the main stage of the concert hall dressed as a human-sized, L-shaped Tetris piece.

This wasn't the Kennedy Center Honors but a performance of Video Games Live, a 135-minute showcase of music from arcade, computer, and console titles, arranged for and performed by a 66-piece orchestra and a 16-person choir.

To win the best-costume prize, awarded just before the show began, Greszes beat out a Mega Man, two Marios, and a whole lot of Links. As he took the stage — cutting from side to side as he approached the podium in imitation of a Tetris piece — the thousand-strong audience erupted into a raucous bout of hooting.
