About this Event

Kiki’s Delivery Service is a coming-of-age story about finding confidence in oneself. As Kiki sets out on her own, she faces challenges that test her abilities, her self-worth, and her belief in the magic that makes her special. Her journey is one of resilience—of losing and rediscovering her spark, of learning that kindness, connection, and perseverance can be just as powerful as magic. This Orchestral Suite follows her through these moments, from the soaring freedom to quiet doubt, capturing the wonder and uncertainty of growing up. 

Then, My Neighbor Totoro unfolds in a narrated orchestral story, where music and spoken words bring Satsuki and Mei’s world to life. Through their wonder, grief, and moments of pure joy, the orchestra gives voice to a story of childhood, loss, and the quiet presence of something bigger than ourselves. 

More than a concert, this is an evening about the beauty of everyday moments, the lessons we learn when we least expect them, and the music that stays with us long after the story ends. 

***

Kiki la petite sorcière est une histoire d’apprentissage et de confiance en soi. Kiki quitte son foyer pour la première fois et découvre les défis de l’indépendance, du doute et de la persévérance. Son voyage est fait d’élans et de chutes, de pertes et de retrouvailles, où elle apprend que la gentillesse et l’entraide sont aussi puissantes que la magie. Cette suite orchestrale suit son parcours, entre envols de liberté et moments de doute, capturant la beauté et les incertitudes du passage à l’âge adulte. 

Puis, Mon voisin Totoro prend vie sous la forme d’un conte musical narré, où la musique et les mots donnent voix à l’histoire de Satsuki et Mei. Entre émerveillement, chagrin et instants de pure joie, l’orchestre raconte un récit sur l’enfance, la perte et la présence silencieuse de quelque chose de plus grand que soi. 

Bien plus qu’un concert, cette soirée célèbre la beauté des petits instants, les leçons que l’on découvre sans les chercher et la musique qui nous accompagne bien après que l’histoire se soit achevée.
