Overview
A great movie soundtrack has the power to lift you out of your seat and take you on a journey to a world beyond the everyday and normal – whether it's to Middle-earth, Gotham City or a galaxy far, far away. If you've ever wondered what makes a soundtrack really soar, podcasters Art of the Score and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra can tell you as they take a deep dive into the magical music of cinema's most recognisable composers, this time the legendary Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi, live at the Sydney Opera House.
Hisaishi is the maestro best known for his decades of collaboration with director Hayao Miyazaki, aka the creative behind Studio Ghibli and films like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbour Totoro and many more. With catalogued works dating back to 1984, Hisaishi has quite the portfolio. At this immersive event, Art of the Score podcasters Dan Golding and Andrew Pogson, alongside conductor Nicholas Buc, will unpack, demystify and celebrate Hisaishi's body of work, exploring its unique motifs and more.
