Joe Hisaishi in Film Music Prague 2017 Festival

Film Music Prague festival, of which we already talked and advanced provisional program in the following news (follow link), just announced this afternoon the incorporation of Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi as a new guest.

This festival, to be held in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic from April 21st to 23rd, will be the second opportunity to see great Joe Hisiashi in Europe this 2017 (in addition to the concert he will offer in June in Paris: follow link), in front of the orchestra conducting his music.
