Kyoto Animation announced the theatrical anime for the Ensemble Concert arc of the Sound! Euphonium series will release in Japan in the summer of 2023. The anime was officially titled Tokubetsuhen Hibike! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest. Alongside the announcement, the anime’s first key visual and teaser trailer were also revealed.

The theatrical anime will focus on the main character Kumiko’s third year in high school. It was teased that it would be a project shorter than a full feature-length anime movie, hence the revealed label here of ‘theatrical anime’. The new production is set to receive a Blu-ray release along with its theatrical debut.
