Join the CSO as we pay tribute to the movie music of Hans Zimmer.
Today, when you go to the movies, you’ll probably hear Hans Zimmer. If you don’t hear Zimmer, you’ll hear a composer under his influence. Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan has described him as a minimalist composer with a maximalist production sense – someone who can take a simple idea and expand it to musical and emotional extremes.
From the epic worlds of Interstellar, Inception and the Batman Dark Knight Trilogy to animated classics such as The Lion King and Kung Fu Panda and unforgettable themes from Pirates of the Caribbean and Gladiator, join us for this journey through Zimmer’s iconic scores – experiencing the highlights and exploring what makes them so great.
This unmissable concert is hosted by Art of the Score podcasters Andrew Pogson and Dan Golding, and conductor Nicholas Buc.
Art of the Score sold out in 2025 and is likely to be a hot ticket in 2026 – get in early to secure your tickets!
