Dubbed “the John Williams of Japan” by Pitchfork, Joe Hisaishi returns to Chicago to lead the CSO in his symphonic works and iconic film scores on April 23-26. From the magic of Spirited Away and Castle in the Sky — featuring CSO Principal Trumpet Esteban Batallán — to his Second Symphony, it’s a program not to be missed.
