Celebrate Halo's 20 years with a musical performance, blended in with Australian influences

Xbox and Halo are now 20 years old and while the original console maybe forgotten by many, the original Halo has not, even today it offers some tight gameplay, great moments and of course, that epic score.

Xbox Australia partnered up with the Sydney Youth Orchestra to combine various parts of the Halo score, along with Paul Glass, who adds in some authentic Australian sounds to the mix, check it out below.

Mia Patoulios, Chief Executive Officer for Sydney Youth Orchestras, said “Sydney Youth Orchestras and Xbox ANZ have been in talks for some time now, and it feels great to finally get the chance to work together on such a momentous occasion for the brand.”

“It’s hard to believe that we’ve already experienced 20 years of Xbox and Halo, and we can’t wait to share this unique performance with Australia and the rest of the world during the 20th Anniversary Event.”

Tania Chee, Xbox Business Lead for ANZ, said “Australia has always had a deep love for Halo and Xbox, so it’s been great to not only celebrate the 20th anniversary of this brand and iconic franchise, but the upcoming launch of Halo Infinite on December 9.”

“As one of the most anticipated releases of the 2021, it’s been great to see an original, authentically Australian take on the series’ iconic music.”

The Halo Infinite Multiplayer portion of the game can be obtained now, but the full game will release on December 8 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Xbox Cloud, so there are only a few weeks to go.
