Ghibli Jazz Orchestra

Under the direction of Isabel Leong, Vancouver’s Ghibli Jazz Orchestra is composed of 18 musicians who combine their love of Studio Ghibli films & video games with a deep reverence of the big bands of the 1940s. Their repertoire consists of compositions by Joe Hisaishi featured in Studio Ghibli films like Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke, with all music arranged by members of the band, in a style heavily influenced by big bands, wind ensembles & orchestral music. This event is co-presented with Infidels Jazz as part of the VANJAZZ ’26 Jazz Festival
