The World of Studio Ghibli is Vitamin String Quartet’s refined impression of the wonderfully emotional feature film pieces from Japanese animation giant, Studio Ghibli. This collection delivers an unlikely twist on the hit studio’s most iconic composers, directors, and screenwriters, producing an album that brings out the child in all of us, while highlighting Ghibli’s ability to shine detail and beauty on the simplest themes. With tracks from the early Ghibli animations, including a supernatural version of “On a Clear Day” from the 1988 Kiki’s Delivery Service, to a poignant rendition of “Fine on the Outside” from the 2014 When Marnie Was There, Vitamin String Quartet is honored to tribute such deeply nostalgic and masterful pieces.

Formed in 1999, Vitamin String Quartet has popularized classical music by merging modern hits with a classical edge to it. The stringed quartet has shown their adaptability to all genres of music, while bringing in a classical interpretation featuring stringed instruments such as violins, viola, and a cello. The launch of Netflix original show, Bridgerton, in 2020 brought the quartet to the spotlight, as their versions of “thank u, next,” “Girls Like You,” and “In My Blood” were featured throughout the first season. Since then, the ensemble has reached over 1 billion streams worldwide, been featured on Billboard’s charts seven times, and been nominated for awards such as the Libera Awards. With over 300 releases from artists such as Cardi B, Björk, and Studio Ghibli, Vitamin String Quartet is winning the hearts and ears of fans across the globe and creating a name for themselves as one of the most popular string ensembles in the world.
