THE Joe Hisaishi Symphonic Concert and the sell out crowd left my face tired from smiling and my hands sore from clapping. How Joe was still standing and able to visit at the reception after the concert after, this his fourth concert this week, and his second one this day is amazing.

Mononoke, Castles in the Sky and others, always featuring nature took my breath away.

Joe was up on the podium orchestrating, then at the piano key board and back and forth; always with dynamic direction. Sometimes it was just the horns, sometimes the choir, once a mandolin and several with Amanda and Mai, vocalizing. The Ghibli films were screened, but the music was live, featuring the thousands of hours of Hisaishi composition creation!

At the reception, Joe shared with me that he started at four years old and took violin lessons from Dr. Shinichi Suzuki and his school "SAI NO KYOKU". We agreed that we are all connected with our activities and inspirations in this life as I shared with him that I helped start the Seattle Suzuki program.

Thank you Yuka for sponsoring this concert and for the invitation to join your party with the Consul General of Japan and his wife Yuki and your parents from Japan.

Arriving home near midnight, a beautiful end to a fulfilling week!!
