The Music of Joe Hisaishi will be presented by Art of the Score from November 6-8 at Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne.
Featuring the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nicholas Buc with guest pianist Aura Go, with fellow Art of the Score podcasters Andrew Pogson and Dan Golding, audiences will explore the musical world of Hisashi in a love letter to Japan’s great Maestro.
From Studio Ghibli classics My Neighbour Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Spirited Away to more than 100 works for the screen and concert hall, Joe Hisaishi is one of the most prolific global composers.
Art of the Score co-host Andrew Pogson says the concert experience will be elevated with musical insights.
“Although this is a concert first and foremost, Dan, Nicholas and I will guide the audience through the career and brilliance of Joe Hisaishi’s music via brief introductions to each suite, along with theatricality presented musical demonstrations of various aspects of the composer’s style, all performed live by the orchestra.”
This concert does not feature Joe Hisaishi in person. Produced in association with Concert Lab.
