An absolute legend comes to Vancouver on June 22,2022. And it is Joe Hirashi . Ok so if you do not know who he is that is fair. But you may have heard in his work before. Many in the west have most likely watched Spirited away a famous movie made by Hayao Miyazaki. He made the soundtrack of that and all of his other movies, such as Princess Monoke, Castle in the Sky and Howl’s Moving castle. Aside from that he has made soundtracks to over 100 films over the course of his career. He is also a master at piano and good a conducting Orchestra’s which he started doing publicly 10 years ago.
This was originally slated for May 28th -May 29th of this this month but has been postponed until next year in the Orpheum theater. This was not the only concert in the Orpheum that was pushed back, All concerts after April 5th were pushed back into new dates due to all the COVID and Vaccinations not being finished yet. I definitely do believe you should come see this concert. Joe Hirashi is a good composer, if you are reading at this point and are still not convinced I will show you a link. To give you a taste on the sheer awesomeness of this person.
Now that you have seen that. I will give you another reason. Tickets will most likely sell out fast when they come out, I may have told you Joe’s work here but the concert tickets come out, fans of those movies that I mentioned above will come like hyenas once they catch wind on this. And if that has not convinced you, Japanese composers or generally Asian composers of scale, which is big especially in his home country of Japan rarely comes to places in the west. So this is most likely your only chance to see him perform live. And with that I hope to you there, Thanks for reading!!!!!
