A string quartet will perform some of the most popular opening songs in anime this coming April. Candlelight: Favourite Anime Themes will host two concerts at Vancouver’s Christ Church Cathedral on the evening of Saturday, April 8th, 2023.

Surrounded by candles inside a historic church, musicians from the Listeso Music Group will play a selection of hits from Naruto: Shippuden, Sailor Moon, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Your Name (pictured at top), and other beloved series. Each concert is about 60 minutes in length — the first is at 7:00 pm PDT, followed by the second at 9:00 pm PDT.

A tentative song list was shared by the tour web site. Given the short length of the show, it’s possible not all songs may be performed by the quartet.
