Joe Hisaishi at Walt Disney Concert Hall
Joe Hisaishi is a Japanese composer, pianist, and conductor celebrated for melodic orchestral scores and a long-running creative partnership with filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki. His music for Studio Ghibli films—including My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away—has introduced orchestral sound to generations of listeners. His concert repertoire also draws on his solo albums and film work, pairing lyrical themes with richly layered arrangements.
Hisaishi is scheduled for November 15, 2024, at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California. The supplied event listing identifies one date at the venue; it does not establish a history of earlier performances there, so no past venue appearances are assumed. The Los Angeles Philharmonic's home provides a fitting setting for music shaped by cinematic storytelling and orchestral color.

Venue and Seating Information
