Anime & Theatre Music

Studio Ghibli’s iconic soundtracks are about to sweep across Bangkok as the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra brings their enchanting music to life in a one-off concert. With stirring pieces from Kiki’s Delivery Service, One Summer Day, My Neighbour Totoro, and Howl’s Moving Castle, the evening promises to transport the audience into the worlds of Hayao Miyazaki’s masterpieces. But the evening is not just a tribute to animation. Expect a diverse mix of timeless theatre and cinematic classics, including selections from The Sound of Music. Conducted by Shinpei Sasaki, with performances from stage star Seiko Niizuma and the deft touch of pianist Tomoharu Ushida, this is one of those rare performances you simply can’t afford to miss.
