With the success of Square's 1990s games "Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy VII" and "Final Fantasy VIII" by Nobuo Uematsu, and "Chrono Trigger, Xenogears" and "Chrono Cross" by Yasunori Mitsuda, public performance began to gain international popularity. On August 20, 2003, music written for video games such as "Final Fantasy" and "The Legend of Zelda" was performed for the first time outside Japan, by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in a Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany at the Gewandhaus concert hall. This event was held as the official opening ceremony of Europe's biggest trading fair for video games, the GC Games Convention and repeated in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
