This coming October, Ghibli Jazz Night brings fans a live jazz performance of pieces from your favourite Studio Ghibli films at Zepp Kuala Lumpur. Performed by All That Jazz, a renowned Japanese band commissioned by Studio Ghibli themselves, the quintet ensemble will spend the night serenading you with high-energy jazz rendition of pieces from the Ghibli songbook such as The Merry-Go-Round of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle, The Path of Wind from My Neighbour Totoro, A Town with an Ocean View from Kiki’s Delivery Service, Country Roads from Whisper of the Heart, and the classic: Always with Me from Spirited Away.
Doors open at 7pm, the night beginning at 8pm, so you’ll have enough time to soak in the atmosphere. The seating is cleverly named after Ghibli paraphernalia, such as the Shooting Star (RM 208), the Catbus Upper Deck (RM 268), and the Clock Tower (RM 388), the latter includes VIP laminate and lanyard, acrylic souvenir ticket, A3-sized event poster, and an autographed poster (or 50 VIP ticket holders.
Tickets are now available here for a chance to experience the Ghibli soundtrack in an entirely new manner.
