Phoenix Collective present a filmed presentation of the music of Japanese cult animation giant, Studio Ghibli.
Eight tracks from six different movies arranged for string quartet. A filmed and animated PCQ performs along-side clips from the movies.
The music has been composed by Joe Hisaishi and arranged by Yukihiro Matsubara and Hiro Tsurunori.
The growing trend of film screenings accompanied by live music performance foregrounds the score, highlighting the drama of the music, enabling listeners to hear detail not audible during the movie.
Edits require split-second timing, which means instrumentation demands a lot from players. These combine to provide a more intense audience experience.
The Ghibli movies blend of fantasy and reality highlight growth and the importance of nature. Renowned for their empathy for human frailty, they provide a re-energising reminder of our need for imaginative, uplifting journeys.
Tickets – $20 will give you access to the film. Tickets can be purchased from Phoenix Collective’s website: pcmusic.net. Release Date: 6 September 2020
