Anime lovers, sharpen your Nichirin blades because Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is about to take over Kuala Lumpur in symphonic style. The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) is transforming Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP) into a battlefield of sound and visuals this September with a live-to-screen concert experience like no other.

A Symphony of Anime & Orchestra

Conducted by New York-based maestro Emily Marshall, the concert will feature a 60-piece orchestra performing music from the Unwavering Resolve Arc, perfectly synced with breathtaking anime scenes projected on a cinema-sized screen. Marshall, who has previously helmed live concerts for Naruto and Avatar: The Last Airbender, will guide audiences through an emotional, action-packed journey that mirrors Tanjiro Kamado’s fight to protect his family and his humanity.
