Skyrim Composer: Be 'Wary' of Upcoming Concert

The orchestra allegedly won’t be using any of the game’s original scores.

Skyrim’s composer Jeremy Soule isn’t a fan of the upcoming concert for the game.

To celebrate the October launch of Skyrim Special Edition for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Bethesda announced a live orchestral Skyrim concert to be performed in London’s Palladium theater. Tickets go on sale on October 4. But, Soule took to Facebook to reveal he wasn’t aware of the concert, and advises potential attendees to be "wary" of it.

He claims the orchestra won’t be using any of his original scores. Instead, the performers had to transcribe the notations they are performing by ear, which Soule calls a "flawed process" that’s "fraught with errors."

The composer confirmed that he doesn’t know anyone who will be part of the event, and won’t "endorse a concert that is trading on my name and music that has absolutely no oversight or involvement on my part."

IGN has reached out to Bethesda for comment.
