Joe Hisaishi joins the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Boettcher Hall for an evening built around his film scores, the music behind Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli films among them. Expect the sweep of a full orchestra handling themes many in the room grew up with, from Spirited Away to Princess Mononoke.
Hisaishi has spent decades scoring animation with a classical composer's patience, and hearing that work played live by a full symphony is a different experience than the soundtrack alone.
