Hisaishi conducts Hisaishi

Joe Hisaishi conducts the Iceland Symphony Orchestra in his own music, and it is the first time the orchestra has played any of it. He has written for more than a hundred films, and it is his music for the Ghibli studio in Tokyo that is best known. A new concerto for orchestra and a suite from one of the Ghibli films are among the works. The full programme is announced later. About two hours with an interval.
