Conceived by the creators of the official concerts Dragon Ball, One Piece, Elden Ring and Assassin’s Creed, Anime Symphony is the very first official celebration of Japanese animation music in symphonic concert form, bringing together the iconic soundtracks that have shaped the collective imagination, from the retro golden age to contemporary masterpieces, all fully licensed and approved by the official publishers and composers.

Japanese animation is not only a major pillar of contemporary culture, it is also an inexhaustible source of emotions, memories, and unforgettable music. From the suspended dreams of Miyazaki to the blazing epics of Akira Toriyama, from the intimate lyricism of Makoto Shinkai to the futuristic visions of Mamoru Oshii, these works have inspired generations across the world.

Anime Symphony offers a unique immersive musical experience, performed by a full symphony orchestra accompanied by a dedicated sound and lighting design, as well as an exceptional lineup of guest artists for the world premiere in Paris in June 2026:

  • Yasuharu Takanashi (Fairy Tail, Naruto Shippuden)
  • Michiru Ôshima (Fullmetal Alchemist, Patema Inverted)
  • Hajime Mizoguchi (Escaflowne, Jin-Roh)
  • Shiro Sagisu (Evangelion, Nadia)
  • Hiroki Takahashi (Dragon Ball)
  • KOKIA (Origin, The Ancient Magus Bride)
  • Cécile Corbel (Arrietty the Borrower)

For three hours, rediscover the legendary themes of Studio Ghibli, Naruto, Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragon Ball, One Piece, Ghost in the Shell, Wolf Children, .hack, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Evangelion, Cobra, Summer Wars, and many more. A repertoire signed by the greatest composers of the genre, including Kenji Kawai, Yuki Kajiura, Seiji Yokoyama, Shunsuke Kikuchi, Toshihiko Sahashi, Yoko Kanno,  Kentarô Haneda and many more, performed by the Colonne Orchestra and Cinephonia Choir.
