I didn't know anything about this....but then again I am a bit slow...
I'm sure some smart alec will point me to hundreds of links and message board comments, but I figured if I can miss it, then maybe a few others can too.

Not exactly new...
It's in the news section, too, and I'm sure it was mentioned a couple of times here.
It's a small orchestra rather than a large one.

this seems to be the project site..
A production from Micromusic Netherlands and ON, namely C64 Orchestra. Micromusic is a webcommunity where its roots deeply lie in the retro-games music. Within the micromusic-scene, game computers not only function as a game computer but as an musicial instrument. For this production, C64 Orchestra turn their attention to the ground-breaking 80's computer, the Commodore 64. Recent facination in the Commodore 64, not only as a retro-game computer has fueled compelling interest as an instrument in the dance-scene (think of the Dutch hit from the artist Bastian - You' ve got my love many years ago). For this production, C64 Orchestra approached two of the most experianced C64-users from the 1980s, Rob Hubbard and Jeroen Tel. The current work of these two Commodore 64 musicians intend their compositions to be exploited with the aide of a classic orchestra.
The compositions that they are gonig to play:
Rob Hubbard's compositions:
Monty on the Run, One Man And His Droid, Commando, International Karate
Jeroen Tel's:
Cybernoid II, Hawkeye, Myth, Supremacy.
Midway 2006 will see this production premièred.

Its the same group who performed Bandle Bobble
I'm sure Rob mentioned this last September also in the pub (not that I can remember much so I could be wrong)

from the jinx link,i love this line:
For those people who have already experienced the music of Rob Hubbard, absolutely no introduction is necessary, but for the benefit of those people who haven't - Rob Hubbard is the most famous musician you have never heard of.
that`s straight to the point.
