А fantastic concert will take place on January 17th at 8.00 pm on the stage of one of Tbilisi’s most atmospheric venues — Silk Factory Studio. “Howl’s Moving Castle”, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”, “Spirited Away”, and “My Neighbor Totoro” — you will hear fantastically charming soundtracks from world-famous anime by the greatest modern Japanese composer — Joe Hisaishi. Plunge into the world of fantastic music in the heartfelt, most colorful performance of the contemporary orchestra Mystery Ensemble. Delight for the whole family is guaranteed.
Throughout his long career, Hisaishi has worked extensively on music for film, Anime, computer games, television and advertising. He also created the music for the 1998 Paralympic Games in Nagano. Hisaishi's most famous works are for the cult films of Takeshi Kitano and, of course, for the anime of Hayao Miyazaki.
Hisaishi and Miyazaki are a union of equally brilliant creators. You will never understand for sure: Miyazaki's anime became brilliant, thanks to Hisaishi's music or Hisaishi's music became brilliant thanks to Miyazaki's anime.
Such a beautiful concert will make your cozy winter evening even better!
Joe Hisaishi is one of the most famous Japanese composers. He released his first album 'Information' in 1982. In 1983, Isao Takahata recommended the young composer Hayao Miyazaki to write the accompanying album for the manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Miyazaki liked Hisaishi's work so much that he invited him to write music for the anime Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Hisaishi's work on Nausicaa made him famous. In gratitude, he worked on all of Miyazaki's subsequent anime.
Hisaishi received a record number of times (four) Japanese Film Academy Awards in the category “Best Film Music”. Three of them are awards for music for Takeshi Kitano’s films: “Sonatine” (1993), “The Boys Are Back” (1996), “Fireworks” (1997). He also composed the soundtracks for Kitano's films Scenes by the Sea (1992), Kikujiro (1999), Brother of the Yakuza (2001), Dolls (2002) and Yamato (2005).
