    7. The rise of the Eminence Symphony Orchestra

    In 2003, the Eminence organization was founded in Sydney, Australia to focus on the music of Japanese video games. In 2007 the Eminence Symphony Orchestra took their ‘A Night in Fantasia’ concert series around Australia. It marked the first time that the entire set list for their concert was pieces from video games.
