The world-renowned Japanese composer/conductor/pianist Joe Hisaishi returns to Singapore to lead the Singapore Symphony Orchestra, in three concerts with a performance of four orchestral pieces.
The concert begins with La Valse and Boléro, composed by Ravel, one of France’s most influential 20th-century composers. The second half of the program features I Want To Talk To You, a composition of Maestro Hisaishi for string quartet, percussion and string orchestra. The core piece of the second half will be the Singapore premiere of the Spirited Away Suite – based on the Best Animated Feature Film of the 75th Academy Awards, directed by the great filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. Most anticipated: the emotional piano part will be played by the Maestro himself, creating an exceptional musical journey through Spirited Away.
