The Gamer Symphony Chamber Concert is an opportunity not only for individual members to showcase their talents, but also for us to perform pieces that we otherwise could not as a large full orchestra ensemble. Join us on a foray into the world of video game music.
Join us for our Spring 2019 concerts! The Gamer Symphony Orchestra is the first collegiate ensemble exclusively devoted to performing orchestral arrangements of video game music and using that music as an educational tool. This semester, our selections include pieces from Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda, and much more! We are eager for you to come and watch our talented members perform!
Join the artists for a post-performance Q and A.

Franz Liszt, a pivotal figure of 19th-century Romanticism, often took inspiration for his piano works from events in his own life. Many of these compositions are program music—pieces with extra-musical associations. In this lecture-recital, Dr. James Litzelman will give background and historical context for the pieces, as well as show images and videos that correspond to the music. Works to be performed include Funérailles, Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude and the two St. Francis Legends.
The Muses proudly present their Original Works Projects, a memorable night of short plays created and produced by students.
Somewhere in America, an army of pre-teen competitive dancers plots to take over the world. And if their new routine is good enough, they’ll claw their way to the top at the Boogie Down Grand Prix in Tampa Bay.
