Joe Hisaishi in Concert

Is it a coincidence that so many of the top grossing Japanese films have a score written by Joe Hisaishi?

Joe Hisaishi was a long-term collaborator of legendary Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, as well as Takeshi Kitano. During the concert evening, he presents highlights of his works, such as the symphonic suite for the anime film “Princess Mononoke”, the film compositions for the Kitano films “Kikujiro’s Summer”, “HA-NA-BI” and “Kids Return” as well as his “Symphony No. 2”. This concert in Venice is a chance to dive into the fascinating world of a multi-faceted artist, at once composer, conductor, pianist, and lyricist.
