Big in Japan - Anime in concert

In Japanese animation – anime – music is not just background sound; it drives the story. It draws you into the lives of the characters and heightens every moment of tension, emotion and wonder. In this concert, you’ll hear iconic songs and hidden gems.

Back to all concerts

From the dreamlike music of Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro to the powerful, dramatic soundtracks of Demon Slayer and Fullmetal Alchemist. Performed by a full symphony orchestra, the Noord Nederlands Concertkoor and soprano Bobbie Blommesteijn. A stage filled with musicians bringing rich, expressive music to life – music that tells stories, even if you’ve never seen the anime.
