The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others ® en concierto

An audiovisual concert in which the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra performs live themes from films such as Dune or Interstellar while the corresponding scenes are projected. It centres on the music of Hans Zimmer and other composers of film music.

The programme brings together great film music themes performed live by the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra, with excerpts from the films projected on screen. The repertoire includes compositions from titles such as Top Gun, Dune, the James Bond films, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception and Interstellar, among others. The evening is hosted by a special guest linked to the original productions.

Hans Zimmer is a German composer known for combining electronic music with symphonic and orchestral arrangements. He has received an Oscar, a Golden Globe and an Emmy, and has composed scores such as those for James Bond, The Lion King, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. He earned his eleventh Oscar nomination for the score of Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk.

The repertoire is interspersed with anecdotes about some of the compositions. One of them explains that Zimmer introduced an anti-apartheid message into the lyrics of a song from The Lion King, written in a native language, and told the Disney company that it was about butterflies.
