A SYMPHONIC FAIRY TALE

Thursday 26 November 2026, 19:00Odense Koncerthus - Carl Nielsen Salen, Odense

About the concert

Let the sound waves lead you from the steaming bathhouse to the town by the water and on to the moving castle, to finally set you down by the great camphor tree, where you can greet the forest spirit Totoro. In this musical fairy tale we dive into a wonderful world where you will hear Joe Hisaishi's iconic music from the animated films Spirited Away, Kiki's Delivery Service, Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbour Totoro. The films are beloved the world over, and at this concert it is solely the fantastic sound world that is in focus. The music richly deserves it too, as it in itself captures the very special magic that can only be found in these whimsical and touching stories. So hop on your broom or board the train, and head to Odense Koncerthus, which on this day is transformed into a mysterious symphonic parallel universe with the help of the magical music from the four masterpieces of Japanese animation. The music is performed with rights leased from the relevant rights holders. The concert is not officially affiliated with Studio Ghibli.
