About this event
Worth being clear: this is a tribute night. Hisaishi isn't performing, and the show isn't affiliated with the composer or his representatives.
Expect an hour of Studio Ghibli scores, from Totoro and Spirited Away through to Howl's Moving Castle. Doors open 30 minutes prior, seating is first-come first-served within each zone, and there's no entry once it starts.
