Spirited Away: Japanese Music for Low Brass

The music of Joe Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli has had a profound affect on the solo instrumental writing of Japanese composers. It is very tonal with elements of jazz harmonies, and lends itself well to lyric, romantic solos.

This recital is a showcase of modern Japanese writing for low brass and pays homage to the music that has elevated Japanese anime for the past four decades. It features Derek Bromme on trombone and Jessica Schroeder on piano.

General admission tickets are $12, available at ticketspice.com. The show is free for students and Sisters of the St. Scholastica Monastery.
