"OST came together through a mutual love for music from games and anime, and we wanted to create a space to rehearse and perform together," notes OST co-founder Charles Li. "

The musicians have diverse backgrounds, including those who are classically trained, self-taught, have played their instrument their whole lives, or are learning a new one. Some of our favorite soundtracks are those of Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, FINAL FANTASY, NieR, and Xenoblade Chronicles. We also enjoy pieces from the Hoyoverse games and Ghibli films.”

This year's event will also include San Diego's own game music record labels, Scarlet Moon Records and Streaming Arrow Records.

Formed in September 2023, Orchestral Soundtracks (OST) is a San Diego community orchestra for members to arrange and perform music from their favorite soundtracks. A group of musicians who came together through their college orchestra decided they wanted to continue playing, arranging, and conducting. They formed OST to provide that opportunity to everyone. OST aims to bring to life the artistic expression and emotional depth of both soundtrack music and musicians through live performance.
