A concert of the Mystery Ensemble orchestra will take place in the Chamber and Organ Music Hall of the Azerbaijan State Academic Philharmonic named after Muslim Magomayev in Baku on April 19 at 20:00, Day.Az reports.
The program will feature soundtracks from world-famous animated films, authored by the famous Japanese composer Jo Hisaishi.
Music from such famous cartoons as “Howl’s Moving Castle”, “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind”, “Spirited Away”, “My Neighbor Totoro” and other animated films will be presented to the audience in a fascinating and colorful performance by the modern orchestra Mystery Ensemble. An unusually beautiful concert in the atmospheric interiors of a chamber hall will give vivid impressions to listeners.
“Throughout his long career, Hisaishi has worked extensively on music for film, anime, computer games, television and advertising. He also created the music for the 1998 Paralympic Games in Nagano. Hisaishi’s most famous works are for the cult films of Takeshi Kitano and, of course, cartoons by Hayao Miyazaki.
Hisaishi and Miyazaki are a union of equal brilliant creators. You will never understand for sure: Miyazaki’s films became brilliant thanks to Hisaishi’s music, or Hisaishi’s music became brilliant thanks to Miyazaki’s films.
Jo Hisaishi is one of the most famous Japanese composers. Hisaishi has received the Japanese Film Academy Award for Best Film Score four times. Three of them are awards for music for Takeshi Kitano’s films “Sonatine”, “The Boys Return”, “Fireworks”. He also wrote soundtracks for Kitano for the films “Scenes by the Sea,” “Kikujiro,” “Yakuza Brother,” “Dolls” and “Yamato,” the concert organizers noted in a statement.
The organizers of the concert are RED EVENTS & Distribution ltd.
Mystery Ensemble is a unique group that performs the most current music. This is the live sound of acoustic string instruments, unique arrangements, virtuoso keyboards, as well as artistry and drive from professionals passionate about their work. The orchestra creates a magical mood in the most atmospheric halls of Azerbaijan.
