Festival de Nîmes: Joe Hisaishi

Festival de Nîmes: Joe Hisaishi Join us at the Nîmes Festival on June 28, 2026 for a rare, cinematic concert that blends the magic of film music with live performance. Renowned composer and pianist Joe Hisaishi will personally conduct and play piano as he presents some of his most celebrated scores – from the award‑winning *Hana‑Bi* (“Fireworks”) and *Kids Return* by Takeshi Kitano to the beloved themes of Studio Ghibli classics such as *Spirited Away*, *Ponyo*, and Hayao Miyazaki’s *Howl’s Moving Castle*. As each score unfolds, scenes from the corresponding films will be projected onto the big screen, creating an immersive audio‑visual experience. This is one of the few occasions in Europe where Hisaishi will combine piano virtuosity, orchestral mastery, and film storytelling in a single evening. Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to witness a living legend bring beloved movie moments to life.  Details & tickets.
