	Games - Symphonic Game Music Concert

The annual European Symphonic Game Music Concert-series (also called GC Concerts) started in 2003 (08 / 20). The first historic concert took place at the Gewandhaus zu Leipzig in Germany, performed by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra under direction of Andy Brick. This sold-out event appeared to be the first symphonic video game music concert outside of Japan ever.

The second concert took place in 2004 (08 / 18), conducted by Andy Brick, performed by the FILMharmonic Orchestra Prague. Once again, the event was sold-out, this time three weeks before the actual concert.

The third concert under the direction of Andy Brick took place in 2005 (08 / 17) and sold-out in less than three days.

The European Symphonic Game Music Concerts are the official opening ceremonies of Europe's biggest trading fair for video games, the GC Games Convention.
