Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi concert opens ticket sales tomorrow

The music of Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi returns to the stage with a concert that opens ticket sales tomorrow at 12:00. It's an event for those who grew up with Studio Ghibli films and want to reconnect with those melodies that are already part of their memory.

The program uses Castle in the Sky as its thread, but the repertoire doesn't stop there. It also includes pieces from Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, and Howl's Moving Castle, among others. A journey through several of the soundtracks Hisaishi composed for Ghibli's most beloved films.

Hisaishi has composed the music for more than 60 films over his career. His work with Miyazaki is one of those collaborations that defined an entire generation: Ghibli's images and his scores became inseparable. Time magazine included Miyazaki among the most influential people in the world, and for good reason.

A concert with experienced musicians

The concert brings together several musicians with experience on stages in China. Among the names in the announcement are violinists, cellists, and pianists trained at conservatories such as Wuhan's, with participation in national tours and anime-themed concerts.

One of the performers, for example, has appeared in halls in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other cities, with repertoires ranging from classical to contemporary. Another took part in the Castle in the Sky tour and in large-scale symphonic productions. Each musician's resume is long, but the important thing is that the show is not a simple cover with a backing track: there is a live ensemble and arrangement work behind it.

The event is presented as an experience for family audiences, with a nostalgic tone that appeals directly to those who watched these films in childhood. The idea is clear: to feel again what was felt the first time the Spirited Away theme or the My Neighbor Totoro theme was heard.

Tickets and access

Ticket sales begin tomorrow at 12:00. Access is with an individual ticket, one ticket per person, and to enter you must present the ticket and pass the corresponding verification. The announcement asks to respect the assigned seat and not change places during the performance.

It is also recommended to arrive early, remain silent during the presentation, and follow the staff's instructions if someone arrives late. These are usual measures at this type of concert, but it's worth keeping them in mind so you don't end up outside the hall.
