About this event

A candlelit string quartet runs through Joe Hisaishi's Studio Ghibli catalogue at St Mary's In Holy Trinity, one of Auckland's grander rooms for this sort of thing.

Worth being clear: this is a tribute programme performed by the Kulios String Quartet, not Hisaishi himself. Expect the familiar themes from Totoro, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle and more across a 60-minute set.

Seating is assigned first come, first served within each zone, and doors open half an hour before the start. No entry once it kicks off.
