Repertoire
The works of Hans Zimmer
Artists
Hollywood Symphony Orchestra
Program
With percussion rhythms and innovative fusions of orchestral and electronic music, there’s nothing quite like a Hans Zimmer score.
Since the 1980s, Zimmer has been providing awe-inspiring music for blockbusters including Gladiator, Inception, Sherlock Holmes, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight trilogy and multi-award winner The Lion King, as well as numerous other film and TV projects. Hans Zimmer has created dazzling sound worlds that evoke eras ranging from Ancient Rome to the far future, adding guitars, out-of-tune pianos and ticking watches to synthesisers, samples and percussion, combining vocals with Romani melodies and scintillating strings.This orchestral concert pays tribute to the composer whose scores, both enchanting and exhilarating, take us across the oceans and the skies, from Victorian London to the depths of the subconscious, to stir and thrill us before bringing us safely back home.
