The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others

Berlin / Los Angeles - "The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others" is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all ages, film enthusiasts, music lovers, and families.

The best music by Hans Zimmer is presented by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show featuring light installations, laser projections, and selected film clips. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from "The Lion King," Zimmer's most popular blockbuster.

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

Hans Zimmer has composed film music for over 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022) after receiving his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He cites Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be showcased with excerpts from the films "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West." Zimmer followed Morricone's example of often composing film music before - rather than after - filming, shaping the entire film. For instance, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" - the world-renowned director came to Hans Zimmer's studio.

It has performed in leading music centers around the world, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from the Great Festival Hall in Salzburg to the Salle Pleyel in Paris, and from the Laeiszhalle in Hamburg to the Tonhalle in Zurich.
