No other composer has influenced the world of cinema in the last two decades as much as Oscar, Golden Globe, and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer, with his incredible compositions for films like “James Bond”, “The Lion King”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Gladiator”, “The Dark Knight”, “Man of Steel”, “Inception”, and “Interstellar”.

Born in Germany, Hans Zimmer became famous with “Rain Man” and has since helped numerous Hollywood megahits achieve success and dramatic-emotional impact, including “Mission Impossible II”, “Gladiator”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Interstellar”, and “Batman”. Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018 for the soundtrack of Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk”.

The audience will learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer passed an anti-apartheid message in the lyrics of a song for “The Lion King” in the native language, telling Disney Corporation it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose repertoire will feature excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Zimmer followed Morricone’s example of composing the film music beforehand, rather than after filming, shaping the entire work. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, and subsequently, the world-famous director moved into Hans Zimmer’s studio. Zimmer, of Jewish descent, is an artist with social conscience, composed a song for the victims of the Aurora cinema shooting, and music to oppose climate change, all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual concert.
