Joe Hisaishi’s World Dream Tour
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Joe Hisaishi is a living legend. His soundtracks for the award-winning films of Studio Ghibli and its creative mastermind Hayao Miyazaki have made the hearts of millions of people around the world beat faster. With more than 100 scores and numerous awards, he has made history in film music while also establishing himself as a composer, conductor, and pianist, securing a firm place in the contemporary music world with his symphonies and piano works.
In autumn 2026, Joe Hisaishi finally returns to Europe. We are fortunate that his World Dream Tour with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will also bring him to the Berlin Philharmonie. As conductor and piano soloist, the Japanese grand seigneur will present his new suite from the Oscar-winning Studio Ghibli film The Boy and the Heron as well as the European premiere of his newly composed concerto for orchestra.

Berliner Philharmonie
The Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin, Germany. Home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the building is acclaimed for both its acoustics and its architecture.
The Philharmonie lies on the south edge of the city's Tiergarten and just west of the former Berlin Wall, an area that for decades suffered from isolation and drabness but that today offers ideal centrality, greenness, and accessibility. Its cross street and postal address is Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße, named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor. The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum, can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station.
Actually a two-venue facility with connecting lobby, the Philharmonie comprises a Großer Saal of 2,440 seats for orchestral concerts and a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal, of 1,180 seats. Though conceived together, the smaller venue was added only in the 1980s.
