The Sound of Epic Anime

Japanese anime, which ranges across various genres, has gained considerable popularity around the world. It is characterised by its artistic diversity – from heart-warming stories through action-packed adventures to dramatic events. This concert offers a chance to discover the emotional power of anime music, featuring iconic works from Studio Ghibli – including the soundtracks to My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke – as well as music from one of the most recognisable characters in Japanese shōnen manga Naruto. Conductor Chuhei Iwasaki will guide you through the programme; his personal connection to Japanese culture and his knowledge of the genre make the concert an exceptionally authentic experience.
