Studio Ghibli Film Music Concert performed by the Middle School Orchestra, 27.05.22

On 27th May, the staff and students of The Purcell School were treated to a Friday lunchtime concert quite unlike any other. The Middle School Orchestra brought to life the colourful fantasy world of five Studio Ghibli films - 'Kiki's Delivery Service', 'Princess Mononoke', 'Castle in the Sky', 'Spirited Away' and 'Howl's Moving Castle'.

'Kiki’s Delivery Service' – Medley
'Princess Mononoke' – Ashitaka and San
'Castle in the Sky' – The Girl Who Fell from the Sky
'Spirited Away' – One Summer’s Day
'Howl’s Moving Castle' – Merry Go Round of Life

The arrangements were composed by a group of three friends; Yi Yun Soo, Tristan Weymes and Lucia Švecová, based on Joe Hisaishi's World Dream Symphony Orchestra concert.
