Game Music Festival to take place in Poland This October

Having more video game music events in the world is never, ever a bad thing. When you have more things like MAGFest and VGMcon, it helps bring the video game music community together and helps legitimize the desire for game music to be more mainstream. Having the first inaugural Game Music Festival in Poland coming this fall is just one more event to help reach those goals.

Two days, four concerts, workshops, meetings with composers, and panel discussions. The details of the first edition of the Game Music Festival (gmfest.com) in Wroclaw, Poland, have been unveiled. The Game Music Festival will be a unique event – the soundtracks of video games finally receive a large dedicated space. During the 26^th and 27^th of October 2018, a total of several hundred musicians will appear on the stage of the National Forum of Music.

The event will feature several “Symphony” concerts over the course of the two days. “Symphony of the Heroes”, featuring the music Heroes of Might and Magic will be the first top open the event, “Symphony of the Forest” will be dedicated to the soundtrack of Ori and the Blind Forest, and “Symphony of the Storm” will pay homage to the music of Blizzard titles Diablo, World of Warcraft and Starcraft. These, along with an evening gala featuring music from Grim Fandango, as well as guests including composer Neal Acree taking part of the festival should make for a fun event for game music lovers and industry professional both.

The first Game Music Festival will be held in Wroclaw, Poland on October 26th and 27th and is produced by the team from gamemusic.pl. Tickets are on sale now for both passes to the entire event and to individual concerts held throughout the event. You can find out more information on the event’s website.
