It’s still Metroid-week. :)

Tonight’s concert features Melissa Schoenack from the Longy School of Music. Melissa is a bassoon major and part of she and her colleagues call the Nintendo Quartet. On April 12th of this year, Melissa, Graham St-Laurent (oboe), Karen Oosterbaan (violin), Akiko Sato (harpsichord/organ), and Bud Durand (electronics) performed “Music from Five Nintendo Games arr. for Baroque Ensemble, Electronics, and Media” at Edward M. Pickman Concert Hall. Above, you can watch their performance of music from Metroid on the NES.

Of course, an 80-second performance isn’t enough for a Friday night concert. Since the above clip was part of a multi-movement work, you can check after the break for several more songs from the recital! In order, the next four videos feature The Legend of Zelda, Bubble Bobble, Castlevania 2, and Super Mario Bros.
