An immersive musical experience inspired by Studio Ghibli’s anime Spirited Away, Einaudi's meditative piano pieces, and Japanese Zen stories
Following their 5***** and sold-out show in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe,
"Matthew Shiel has ‘composed’ a most enchanting concert, relating amusing, enlightening stories to introduce each piece; his eloquent performance expresses a dramatic, emotional mood from sad and sorrowful to light-hearted and lyrical, oozing a joyful sense of romantic love." (5***** Edinburgh Guide)
"A ripping good yarn. Sim and Shiel both are masters of their crafts." (5***** Binge Fringe Magazine)
"Matthew Shiel shone" (4**** Three Weeks)
