Joe Hisaishi launches seven-night Radio City residency with ticket discounts

Composer Joe Hisaishi begins a week-long series of concerts at Radio City Music Hall, with seats starting at $87 and a promo code for first-time buyers.

Joe Hisaishi’s highly anticipated Radio City Music Hall residency kicks off next week, offering a seven-concert run from Aug. 11 through Aug. 17. Each evening’s program pairs the composer with MasterVoices and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, delivering a repertoire that spans Studio Ghibli classics and works by Takeshi Kitano and Isao Takahata. Seats can be purchased through SeatGeek, where the lowest-priced tickets are $87 and the most expensive reach $130, with a NYPOST10 promo code granting $10 off orders exceeding $250 for first-time buyers.

The concerts follow Hisaishi’s recent Hollywood Bowl appearance, where he performed 24 pieces ranging from “My Neighbor Totoro” to “The Boy and the Heron.” Critics have praised his ability to blend lush orchestration with minimalist motifs, creating melodies that linger beyond the films. Fans of the composer and Ghibli soundtracks are encouraged to secure tickets promptly, as the run promises a unique live experience.
