Evangelion Wind Symphony Returns To Tokyo, Premieres in Nagoya and Osaka

Whether you count yourself among the legions of fans of Neon Genesis Evangelion who appreciate the epic soundtrack by Shiro Sagisu, or you're just a classical music buff with broad interests, the return of the highly acclaimed Evangelion Wind Symphony this coming May will surely be music to your ears.

Due to popular demand, the symphony will be not only returning to Tokyo where they originally performed in September 2018, but also performing for the first time in Osaka and Nagoya.

This year, Masamichi Amano will conduct the Osaka Shion Wind Orchestra in Osaka and Nagoya, with singer Yoko Takahashi (A Cruel Angel's Thesis, Soul's Refrain) as special guest performer, and the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra in Tokyo, with trumpeter Eric Miyashiro making a repeat appearance as special guest.

This excerpt from last year's concert will give you an idea of what to expect:
