The idea for a game music festival was born already in 2012, when Finland didn’t yet have video game concerts or artist that perform music from games. But in the last few years thing have changed completely and the VGM concert scene has landed in Finland as well. So the time is now ripe, and thus Helsinki Game Music Festival was born.
The festival will be held at the Helsinki Hall of Culture on May 5th, 2018. Perfoming live will be five artists (both local and from overseas) known for their game music covers.
Tickets are on sale for either the entire festival or only one half. Whole day tickets cost 39-69€ depending on your seat. Half day tickets are 25-40€.
A live orchestral performance of video game scores from composer Austin Wintory and friends.
Austin Wintory will take us on a musical journey through his most memorable and moving video game scores.
This includes his Grammy nominated score for Journey, ragtime heists from Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine, bombastic and melancholic music from The Banner Saga trilogy, murder ballads from Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and lots more including some surprises from friends.
“Seriously, Animex is my favourite festival of its kind in the world! … I’m better at what I do simply for being around these people”
– Austin Wintory
