Format of the Festival

Each iteration of the Game Music Festival is focused on a series of live concerts based on newly created arrangements of the soundtracks from a particular game franchise. These concerts are often monographic in character, aiming to present the music attributed to a selected game or composer in a coherent manner. The performance itself can assume various musical forms, such as a symphonic suite, a concerto grosso, or a jazz big-band[3] piece.

Concerts of each Game Music Festival are not accompanied by visualizations. Sound is not amplified electronically[1] unless this is required by a particular instrument. Game Music Festival also includes multiple auxiliary events such as masterclass workshops, panel discussions, case studies, meet-and-greet sessions.[1] For each edition, organizers are inviting composers and special guests connected to presented games and soundtracks, who then join aforementioned panels and workshops.[5]
