The “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End” Film Concert 2026 is heading overseas, with organizers announcing an Oct. 4 performance at Carnegie Hall in New York.
The announcement came Aug. 1 through the anime’s official X account. The concert will be held at the Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage, Carnegie Hall’s 2,790-seat main performance venue.
The concert’s official world tour website lists an 8 p.m. start time. Ian Weinberger will conduct the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, marking a change from the Yokohama performances, which featured the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra under conductor Hirofumi Kurita.
Ticket prices and on-sale information have not been announced. Organizers said additional details would be released shortly.
The New York concert will follow the production’s Japanese debut, which featured two performances Aug. 1 at the National Convention Hall of Pacifico Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture. The production paired footage from the anime’s first two seasons with a live performance of composer Evan Call’s score.
Call, who has composed the series’ music since its 2023 premiere, appeared as a special guest. Singer-songwriter milet also performed the Season 1 ending theme, “Anytime Anywhere,” and the Season 2 ending theme, “The Story of Us,” with orchestral accompaniment.
Two additional performances are scheduled for Sept. 19 at the Grand Cube Osaka Main Hall. Kurita will conduct the Hyogo Performing Arts Center Orchestra, with Call appearing as a special guest.
No guest appearances have been announced for the Carnegie Hall performance.
The world tour website currently lists New York as its only overseas stop, followed by the words “and more,” indicating that additional cities are expected to be announced. The “Frieren” Project presents the tour, which is organized by Toho Co. Ltd., produced by Toho Music Corp. and operated by Sony Music Solutions Inc.
