What is 'An ACG Symphony'?
‘An ACG Symphony’ is an anime, comics, and games-themed (ACG) orchestra concert organised by The Band Lab in collaboration with the Kuching Choral Society and other local organisations. This event follows the success of its first full orchestra anime live concert, An Anime Symphony, held in December 2023, which attracted over 1,200 attendees, including international visitors.
In this second season, we aim to enhance the experience with additional elements, such as including a choir, more cosplays, and increased incorporation of digital and electronic music effects. The event is expected to involve approximately 100 artists and similarly attract an audience from across Sarawak and beyond.
