EÍMEAR NOONE JOINS CLASSIC FM TO HOST NEW SERIES OF HIGH SCORE

10/4/2019

Eímear Noone will be presenting the new series of the video game show ​‘High Score’ on Classical FM, which is coming back for its fourth series.

The new six-week programme focuses on various themes within the gaming world, starting with Game Changers, as Noone provides an insight into the characters and unforgettable stories that have gained legendary status and changed the gaming world forever. Future topics of discussions will also touch on Girl Power, celebrating the smart, powerful and brave female protagonists at the helm of gaming; Villains, looking at the most iconic lawbreakers in video games; and Magic, Myths and Legends, exploring the games inspired by ancient legends, mythical beasts and familiar fairy tales.

The new show hosted by Eímear comes as Classic FM celebrate a growing younger demographic of listeners, with more than one million 15 – 34-year-olds tuning in every week.

Eímear Noone said:

“Video game music is the perfect gateway to the classics for a younger audience, especially since the sonority of the orchestra is already in their hearts and minds. It’s also fun to let existing classical music fans in on the zeitgeist of this new form of orchestral pop art, even if they’ve never played a video game in their lives. Classic FM is the perfect home for both audiences.”

High Score with Eímear Noone starts on Saturday 22 June at 9pm on Classic FM – available across the UK on 100 – 102 FM, DAB digital radio and TV, at Clas​sicFM​.com, on the Classic FM app and the Global Player.
