A one-day Seoul concert of Studio Ghibli and Disney film music. The pieces are the ones most people already know by heart, so language is not a barrier — and it is scaled for families with children.

The Ghibli half means Joe Hisaishi — the composer behind My Neighbor Totoro, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle. His scores travel better than almost any film music of the last forty years, which is why concerts like this fill halls across Asia and Europe. The Disney half draws on the animated catalogue most audiences grew up with.

The venue is a children’s theatre, so the programme is built at family scale rather than as a formal concert-hall evening — shorter, with the pieces people actually recognise.

Language — this is instrumental. Nothing is translated because nothing needs to be. If a host introduces the pieces between numbers it will be in Korean, but the music itself carries the whole evening.

Getting there — Gwangjin Children’s Theater, in Gwangjin District. We could not confirm the nearest subway station in the official notice.

Good to know — the programme list, running time and ticket prices are not confirmed in the official notice yet. Family programmes of this kind usually run between sixty and ninety minutes.

Dates — 15 November 2026, one performance only
