## The Music of Your Lie in April — Coming to Concert Halls
The music of *Your Lie in April* (*Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso*) has never been far from fan memory, and now it's coming to concert halls. A joint announcement from Aniplex and the production's original music rights holders confirms an official *Your Lie in April* live orchestra tour for the second half of 2026 and into early 2027.
The program — titled **"Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: The Complete Score"** — will feature full orchestral performance of Masaru Yokoyama's acclaimed original score, alongside live piano soloists performing the in-series classical pieces: Chopin's *Ballade No. 1 in G minor*, Beethoven's *Kreutzer Sonata*, and Saint-Saëns' *Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso*, among others.
**Concert format**
Each concert is designed as a two-part evening:
- **Part I:** The complete anime OST performed by a full orchestra, spanning themes from across both seasons' emotional arc — from the bright, urgent opening cues to the devastatingly sparse final act.
- **Part II:** A solo recital program featuring one of three rotating guest pianists performing the classical works heard in the series, accompanied by a string ensemble.
The concerts will not include a simulcast screening of the anime. This is a stand-alone musical event, not a "music and visual" experience — a deliberate choice that emphasizes the score as autonomous art.
**Confirmed cities (2026–2027)**
- Tokyo — October 2026 (Suntory Hall)
- Osaka — November 2026 (Osaka Symphonic Hall)
- Los Angeles — December 2026 (venue TBC)
- New York — January 2027 (Carnegie Hall)
- London — February 2027 (Barbican Centre)
- Paris — March 2027 (Philharmonie de Paris)
Ticket availability and pricing will be announced per venue. The Tokyo and Osaka dates are expected to sell out rapidly given prior fan demand for *Your Lie in April* live events.
**Why this matters**
Yokoyama's score for *Your Lie in April* is one of the most sophisticated original anime soundtracks of its era — built around the tension between Western classical performance practice and anime's emotional grammar. Hearing it in a concert hall setting, detached from the visual narrative, is an opportunity to appreciate it purely as composition.
For fans who came to classical music *through* the series, this is a rare bridge: the pieces Kousei and Kaori played are not fabricated for the anime — they are the actual repertoire, and hearing them live, as the characters experienced them, closes a loop the series spent eleven episodes building.
