About the GSO
Imagine a 100-person orchestra whose sole purpose is to play video game music.
We’ve done songs from Halo, Chrono Trigger, Warcraft, Zelda, and
Portal, to name a few. Rather than taking scores off the Internet, we
arrange our music ourselves.
Here’s a picture from our Spring 08 concert (we’re about twice as big now):
We’ve also helped in the creation of another VGM-playing orchestra at a local high school, the Magruder GSO.
MP3s!
MP3s from all of our recent concerts are here.
