About this event

Candlelight brings its by-candle string sessions to St Mary's Catholic Church in Ipswich, this time working through the music of Joe Hisaishi. Worth being clear up front: this is a tribute programme performed by Paradiso Strings, not Hisaishi himself, and it isn't affiliated with the composer.

The setlist leans on his Studio Ghibli work, from My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away through to Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle.

The run is 60 minutes, doors half an hour before, and there's no entry once it starts. Seating is assigned first come, first served within each zone.
