Dubbed “the John Williams of Japan” by Pitchfork, Joe Hisaishi is one of the most celebrated composers of our time. He is especially known for his acclaimed symphonic works, as well as his film scores— including Princess Mononoke, Ponyo and My Neighbor Totoro. Hisaishi returns to conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a suite from Hayao Miyazaki's film Spirited Away, plus his Second Symphony and Castle in the Sky, featuring CSO Principal Trumpet Esteban Batallán.
