Candlelight concerts are transporting audiences to fantastical worlds with homages to the best music from anime series and films. Whether you are an anime fan or not, the energy and complexity of its theme songs carry the narrative and imbue fans with all the on-screen emotion. Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball are just some of the timeless classics that will be featured at this original event which also includes a stirring medley of Studio Ghibli songs.
Anime theme songs are not the only universal appeal of the evening by candlelight—The Sazerac House, a venue connected to a rich, global heritage, is hosting the enchanting performances.
Favorite Anime Theme Songs at The Sazerac House
The Listeso String Quartet is coming to the historic Sazerac House to remind you of the musical depth and emotional layers of anime songs. All of the cultural, historical, and artistic aspects wrapped up in the Japanese manga series are being reinterpreted and portrayed in the classical form.
You can reintroduce yourself to some of your favorite fictional worlds from Your Name and Tokyo Ghoul. The music of other series being reimagined include Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Death Note. For the less anime-inclined, Candlelight’s Favorite Anime Theme Songs tribute is the perfect opportunity to expose yourself to something, although different, absolutely remarkable—there’s a reason why it is one of the fastest-growing genres.
The string quartet will also perform a medley of songs composed by Joe Hisaishi, blending fantastical melodies and storytelling of Studio Ghibli with an evening amongst hundreds of candles.
Hearing your favorite theme songs or film scores at an intimate Candlelight concert is a unique way to discover something new about the shows you adore or appreciate the music as a separate, moving piece.
The Candlelight series takes place twice each night with two back-to-back 60-65 minute performances. Doors will open 30 minutes prior to each show.
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
