Candlelight: The Best of Anime Vancouver BC Canada

Candlelight is a series of concerts held in inspiring locations such as in heritage venues and in cathedrals. This concert held at the Kerrisdale Presbyterian Church in Vancouver, BC, Canada features the music of Anime.

While anime is short for animation, most times when we refer to anime we mean Japanese animation which has its own unique style, artwork, storytelling and cultural nuances. Visual effects and episode lengths of 12 minutes or less are hallmarks of anime. Over the last 40 years anime has become an international phenomenon being translated to many languages and attracting millions of fans.

Music is key to anime and anime can include all genres and styles of music including, rock, jazz, and classical. Music connects people with the storytelling and brings joy to the performance.

There are two performance times on October 1, one at 7PM and one at 9PM, each performance is 60 minutes long and will be held in the glow of candlelight. The performer is the Listeso String Quartet. A list of 17 of the songs that will be performed have been listed on the website, three are: Dragon Ball "Mystical Adventure", Elfen Lied "Lillium", and Naruto "Blue Bird."
