Is it a coincidence that so many of the top grossing Japanese films have a score written by Joe Hisaishi? He was a long-term collaborator of legendary Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, as well as Takeshi Kitano. Hisaishi returns to France with the Philharmonic Orchestra, to perform and direct pieces from Ponyo and Princess Mononoke, along with his much-anticipated Symphony No. 2. This concert in Paris is a chance to dive into the fascinating world of a multi-faceted artist, at once composer, conductor, pianist, and lyricist. Programme: Symphony n° 2 [Woman] for Piano Harp, Percussion and Strings Princess Mononoké, Suite
