About Einaudi’s Piano by Candlelight: Spirited Away

An immersive musical experience inspired by Studio Ghibli’s anime Spirited Away, Einaudi's meditative piano pieces, and Japanese Zen stories

Following their 5***** and sold-out show in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,

"Matthew Shiel has ‘composed’ a most enchanting concert, relating amusing, enlightening stories to introduce each piece; his eloquent performance expresses a dramatic, emotional mood from sad and sorrowful to light-hearted and lyrical, oozing a joyful sense of romantic love." (5***** Edinburgh Guide)

"A ripping good yarn. Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (5***** Binge Fringe Magazine)

"Matthew Shiel shone" (4**** Three Weeks)

Moonlight Concerts tour Glasgow with a musical show inspired by Studio Ghibli’s anime Spirited Away, Ludovico Einaudi’s TOP10 most streamed piano pieces, and Philip Glass’ hypnotic soundtrack to the Academy award-winning film The Hours.

Tonight's musical programme is accompanied by thought-provoking Japanese Zen Stories and a digital art exhibition and light installation designed by acclaimed Chinese artist and Disney illustrator Emma Yitong Shen – to create an immersive musical experience designed to relax and wind down, bring you into a heightened state of consciousness and find musical enlightenment.
