NJGSO was originally founded in 2014 by conductor Alyssa Menes as the Montclair Gamer Symphony Orchestra. A group of less than 10 members, MGSO made their debut performance at Digital Press Videogames in Clifton, NJ. Since then, we've changed our name, our venue, and our look pretty substantially, but our goal has always remained the same: create a welcoming and supportive community of musicians that strives for excellence through shared knowledge and performance experiences.
