The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Nordseehalle Emden


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Hans Zimmer is a German film composer who found popularity after the release of the cult film "Rain Man". "While I was composing the music for 'Rain Man,' I kept thinking: Don't ask, it will drown out the characters. Don't take first place. Raymond, the main character, really doesn't understand where he is . He sees the world differently than we do... Why wouldn't we create "world music" for the world that only exists in his head?" - reminds Hans. This work became a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer received an Oscar nomination. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans puts his all into work, often composing musical themes for two or three films at a time. His music impressed the Disney studio so much that they commissioned Zimmer to compose for the animated cartoon "The Lion King." The musical theme of the cartoon brought the composer three of the most prestigious awards - "Oscar", "Golden Globe" and "Grammy". And further, Zimmer continued to receive numerous awards, truly becoming the best of the best in Hollywood. A rare Oscars ceremony goes without a Zimmer nominee.

Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - Palau Sant Jordi


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

Film Symphonic - Joker
Nationaal Orkest van Belgie conducted by Dirk Brossé - Bozar, Henry Le Boeuf Hall


Program Info:
Hildur Guðnadótti - The Joker

The psychological thriller Joker was without a doubt one of the most memorable films of the year 2019. The unique origin story surrounding Arthur Fleck, who eventually becomes the psychopathic supervillain who terrorises Gotham City, has delighted friends and foes of the Batman universe.

That has everything to do with the phenomenal acting performance of Joaquin Phoenix. In a deeply human way, he plays the character of Arthur Fleck, a marginalised individual who slowly but surely slides into delusion. An important reason for this is the discontinuation of his health care – a drastic cost-cutting measure. The absurd and nihilistic actions of the former clinic clown, who can't control his laughter, soon become the source of inspiration for many popular protests - until everything gets terribly out of hand.

The music of Joker , which will be performed live by the Belgian National Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé, was written by the Icelandic composer and classical cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir. Her own instrument, the cello, plays the title character, while the orchestra symbolises the madness that rises in the head of the purple-yellow horror clown: first slumbering in the background, then getting louder and finally completely engulfing the cello. For the
's soundtrack, Joker Hildur Guðnadóttir, who also wrote the music for the acclaimed mini-series Chernobyl at the same time , received numerous awards, including a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score.

Hans Zimmer is a German film composer who found popularity after the release of the cult film "Rain Man". "While I was composing the music for 'Rain Man,' I kept thinking: Don't ask, it will drown out the characters. Don't take first place. Raymond, the main character, really doesn't understand where he is . He sees the world differently than we do... Why wouldn't we create "world music" for the world that only exists in his head?" - reminds Hans. This work became a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer received an Oscar nomination. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans puts his all into work, often composing musical themes for two or three films at a time. His music impressed the Disney studio so much that they commissioned Zimmer to compose for the animated cartoon "The Lion King." The musical theme of the cartoon brought the composer three of the most prestigious awards - "Oscar", "Golden Globe" and "Grammy". And further, Zimmer continued to receive numerous awards, truly becoming the best of the best in Hollywood. A rare Oscars ceremony goes without a Zimmer nominee.

The success of the concerts of the LORDS OF THE SOUND orchestra combined with the best compositions of Hans Zimmer will immerse you in the unforgettable sensations of a warm summer evening, the atmosphere of a beautiful fairy tale, filled with the beauty of symphonic sound favorite compositions, rock band, brilliant visual effects, powerful voices of soloists and choirs, unstoppable energy and positivity of the whole group!

Modern Times, USA 1936, R: Charlie Chaplin with Charles Chaplin, Paulette Goddard, Al Ernest Garcia, 89 min, OF

Charlie Chaplin is again in search of his little bit of happiness.
This time it's not for gold in Alaska, he tries to find a "normal" life with his hands work.

But the machines, the circumstances, many of the fellow human beings, lack the reference to what Chaplin wants to tell us.

Yet he cannot speak at all, he is mute! He dances, he gesticulates, and in the end he runs away.

It is an escape. But fortunately he finds the woman of his dreams first.
And so they go off into the distance, two by two, into the land of dreams on Highway 61. Revisited.

Subjected to the infernal production rate of the factory, a model worker suddenly has a nervous breakdown and goes mad.

From hospital, to prison, to unemployment, the Little Tramp gets caught up in the sprockets and cogs of modern industrialisation.
That is, until he comes across a beautiful orphaned gamine, whom he helps escape from the police.

How to break free from the constraints of modern life? Chaplin provides a critical look at productivity in the early 20th century& and well beyond!
Charlie is a factory worker in this hectic age - a minor cog in the grinding wheels of industry. His job -mechanically tightening bolts on a moving belt. The monotony of the work drives him berserk. Taken to hospital he soon recovers and is discharged, cautioned to avoid excitement. Caught in a street riot, he is mistaken for the leader and thrown into a patrol wagon.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Kulturhaus Salzwedel


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

Dunkirk
Inception
Earth

In this way, our story is the story of a hero, told through the amazing worlds of other heroes, in an unforgettable experience that's not to be missed.

We encourage cosplayers and fans to come out in their favorite video game-themed outfits. Please note: Toy weapons are not permitted at this event (i.e. guns, blasters, swords, etc.).

Do you remember the 1980s? The fact that the computer games of that time, which initially seemed quite clumsy, have now become an art form that is very well respected in wide circles (and commercially immensely successful) is not least due to the music. Similar to the great fantasy epics of Hollywood, lush symphonic sounds accompany the events here: mythical creatures, heroes fighting with ancient weapons, rocking ships and cities of the Middle Ages growing up as if by magic would only be half as impressive if not for cleverly composed music. In the beginning this was still monotonously archaic-modal, but the range has increased significantly. This can be impressively experienced with "Final Fantasy", "Journey", the 1980s classic "The Great Giana Sisters" and others.

Hans Zimmer is a German film composer who found popularity after the release of the cult film "Rain Man". "While I was composing the music for 'Rain Man,' I kept thinking: Don't ask, it will drown out the characters. Don't take first place. Raymond, the main character, really doesn't understand where he is . He sees the world differently than we do... Why wouldn't we create "world music" for the world that only exists in his head?" - reminds Hans. This work became a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer received an Oscar nomination. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans puts his all into work, often composing musical themes for two or three films at a time. His music impressed the Disney studio so much that they commissioned Zimmer to compose for the animated cartoon "The Lion King." The musical theme of the cartoon brought the composer three of the most prestigious awards - "Oscar", "Golden Globe" and "Grammy". And further, Zimmer continued to receive numerous awards, truly becoming the best of the best in Hollywood. A rare Oscars ceremony goes without a Zimmer nominee.

The success of the concerts of the LORDS OF THE SOUND orchestra combined with the best compositions of Hans Zimmer will immerse you in the unforgettable sensations of a warm summer evening, the atmosphere of a beautiful fairy tale, filled with the beauty of symphonic sound favorite compositions, rock band, brilliant visual effects, powerful voices of soloists and choirs, unstoppable energy and positivity of the whole group!

Sinfonietta Cracovia will perform under the baton of its first conductor and artistic director, Katarzyna Tomala-Jedynak, presenting its full string sound in a repertoire combining new and film music.

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - MEO Arena


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

CNDM. Hauschka
Hauschka, piano - Auditorio Nacional de Música, Sala de Cámara


Program Info:
Debut of the pianist Hauschka at the Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical (CNDM) in Madrid, Spain. On his ID card he is listed as Volker Bertelmann (Kreuztal, Germany, 1966), but in front of the piano he becomes Hauschka and reinvents the eighty-eight keys with an unbridled imagination to manipulate the sound with leather, felt or aluminium foil. Experimentation and mischief were already guiding his steps since his youthful beginnings as a hip-hop transgressor. The overwhelming facet as an author of soundtracks, a priority since 2010, corroborates this spirit of search. Hence the scores for Adrift, Hotel Bombay, A Way Home (Oscar nominee in 2017), the series Patrick Melrose or Gunpowder and, of course, All Quiet on the Western Front, winner of the Oscar and Bafta in 2023.

In this unique concert, Charlie Draper presents not only rare music, but also rare electronic instruments. The Ondes Martenot has achieved a certain recognition, largely due to Messiaen, and the music of science fiction movies. The Theremin, invented in 1919, and named after its colourful inventor Leon Theremin, is much less known to the general public. The only instrument played without being physically touched, it creates a fascinating sound, capable of imitating the violin as well as the human voice. The repertoire presented by Charlie Draper, one of Britain’s leading exponents, is partly made of transcriptions, partly original works, all of high musical interest.

Pierre Vellones - Fantasie
George Gershwin – Summertime
Sergei Rachmaninoff - Vocalise
Nikolai Medtner - Suite-Vocalise in F Minor
Richard Rodney Bennett - Serenade No. 2
Darius Milhaud - Suite for Ondes Martenot and Piano
Miklós Rózsa (arr. Paul Jackson) Spellbound Concerto for Theremin and Piano, based on the music for Hitchcock's psychological thriller "Spellbound" in 1945

Symphony of Illusions
Olando Philharmonic Orchestra - Dr. Phillips Center – Steinmetz Hall


Program Info:
Join us for a night of magic and music at Steinmetz Hall! Magician Michael Grandinetti performs live with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra to songs from your favorite film score pieces. Watch as Michael transforms a tuxedo into the orchestra’s conductor, makes roses bloom on the stage, levitates into the air while surrounded by the playing orchestra, and more!

Named by Entertainment Weekly as “a great magician who can truly communicate with a TV audience”, Hidden Remote as “a fan favorite with charisma and an easy rapport with an audience”, and Digital Journal as “one of magic’s best loved magicians, the one to watch”, Michael Grandinetti is not your ordinary magician.

Michael combined the worlds of magic and music when he created special performances and appeared as a featured guest artist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra, the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, and the Augusta Symphony Orchestra, with several more symphony shows ahead. During these shows, while the orchestras played musical selections specially themed for each illusion, Michael magically transformed a tuxedo into the orchestra’s conductor, made roses bloom on the stage, levitated into the air while surrounded by the playing orchestra, and, for a finale, caused the orchestra itself to read the minds of the audience by playing pieces of music they were only thinking of.

Hobbits and Fairies
Symphony of the Lakes - Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts, Winona Heritage Room


Program Info:
Still: Wood Notes is a composition by the American composer William Grant Still. Still (1895–1978) was a prominent figure in the 20th-century classical music scene, known for his contributions to both orchestral and chamber music, as well as his role in breaking racial barriers in the classical music world. The composition is characterized by its melodic charm, colorful orchestration, and reflective mood. Still’s use of lush harmonies and lyrical flute passages captures a sense of serenity and beauty, reminiscent of a tranquil forest setting. “Wood Notes” is just one example of Still’s ability to blend classical music with elements of American folk traditions and his distinctive voice as a composer.

Symphonic Suite from Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a musical composition created by Howard Shore and orchestrated by John Whitney. It is derived from Shore’s original score for the 2001 film “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” directed by Peter Jackson and based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy novel. Howard Shore’s score for “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is renowned for its complexity, depth, and ability to enhance the storytelling through music. It incorporates diverse musical elements, including memorable character themes, atmospheric textures, and dramatic orchestration. The symphonic suite likely captures some of these elements while condensing them into a standalone orchestral performance piece.

Mendelssohn: Incidental Music from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Op. 61 is a musical composition by Felix Mendelssohn, inspired by William Shakespeare’s play of the same name. Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” music is celebrated for its imaginative quality, melodic charm, and ability to evoke the whimsy and enchantment of Shakespeare’s play. The incidental music, written for specific scenes in the play, features a range of compositions from dances to atmospheric pieces that enhance the storytelling. One of the most famous pieces from the incidental music is the “Wedding March,” often used in weddings to this day.

Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’
Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra conducted by Johannes Fritzsch - Federation Concert Hall, nipaluna


Program Info:
Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra
Johannes Fritzsch, conductor
Emily Sun, violin

Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Symphony is one of those works that never loses its ability to shock, stir and astound. It is a classic in every respect and remains as thrilling today as it was centuries ago. Legendary conductor Leonard Bernstein described its first half as ‘perhaps the two greatest movements in all orchestral music’.

At the head of the concert is the world premiere of a new work by immensely gifted Australian composer Harry Sdraulig – Flashout, which is followed by Korngold’s Violin Concerto performed by the extraordinary Emily Sun. Like Beethoven, Erich Wolfgang Korngold was a child prodigy. After bidding farewell to Vienna he forged an impressive career in Hollywood as an Oscar-winning film composer, his work here weaving together themes and motifs from some of his best-loved movie scores.

Harry Sdraulig - Flashout
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto in D, Op 35, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

Jurassic Park in concert
Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Shinpei Sasaki - Tokyo International Forum Hall A


Program Info:
John Williams - Jurassic Park

``Jurassic Park'' was released 30 years ago in 1993 and caused a huge boom all over the world.
This work, which was adapted from Michael Crichton's novel by master director Steven Spielberg, used the most advanced CG at the time to bring dinosaurs back to life in modern times. The Cinema Orchestra (commonly known as Cineoke®) will screen the entire historical movie "Jurassic Park" on a big screen, and a full orchestra on stage will perform the music part live in time with the movie. Decided! The first day will be a super subtitled version, and the second day will be a gorgeous double feature of the Japanese dubbed version.

The music for ``Jurassic Park'' was composed by John Williams, who has created countless film scores including ``Star Wars,'' ``E.T.,'' and ``Indiana Jones.'' The delicate yet bold score and expansive, adventurous music, played live by a full orchestra, increases the sense of presence and makes the dinosaurs released into the wilderness even more realistic. The world of "Jurassic Park" opens before your eyes and stimulates your whole body!

Chaplin's The Circus live
Babylon Orchester Berlin conducted by Stefanos Tsialis - Babylon


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - The Circus

The Circus brings the series of long Chaplin silent films at the Babylon to its grand finale.

Following the overwhelming success of The Kid, Gold Rush, City Lights and Modern Times, here is Chaplin's reflection on the circus from the perspective of its most important character: The Clown.

Thanks to live performances of Chaplin's original music, audiences can experience the masterpiece exactly as it hit theatres nearly 100 years ago. Where is the culture of European travelling theatres, where is the centuries-old culture of comedic popular theatre? Supplanted by the cinema.

And Chaplin's art sets the high point and the end point for this in the new medium. You will laugh, you will cry and, you will never forget this film!

The Circus won Charles Chaplin his first Academy Award - it was still not yet called the ‘Oscar’ - he was given it at the first presentations ceremony, in 1929.
The special award was for ‘Versatility and genius in writing, acting, directing and producing’.

The film certainly merited the honour. It contains some of his best comic inventions, subtly balanced with sentiment that is kept tightly in control.

Yet paradoxically, though, this is the only film from his mature feature productions which Chaplin does not once mention in his extensive autobiography.
As late as 1964, it seemed, this was a film he preferred to forget.

- The Tramp is mistaken for a pickpocket and chased by the police. In the process, he accidentally ends up in a circus, where the audience thinks his performance is a successful act and celebrates him wildly. He is promptly hired by the ringmaster. When the Tramp, who can't be funny on cue, falls in love with the principal's daughter, the challenges begin.

Hamburg International Music Festival: Charlie Chaplin: The Great Dictator
Symphoniker Hamburg conducted by Timothy Brock - Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - The Great Dictator (director: Charlie Chaplin, US 1940)
Film with original music by Charlie Chaplin and Meredith Willson

It’s one of the great masterpieces of film history, »perhaps the most significant film ever produced« (New York Times): with »The Great Dictator«, Charlie Chaplin created not only a satire of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism, but also a general manifesto against totalitarianism and war. In the opening week of the Hamburg International Music Festival, which is centred around the theme of »War and Peace«, the film is being screened in the Elbphilharmonie – with the soundtrack performed live by the Symphoniker Hamburg.

As with his earlier films, Chaplin was responsible for the script, direction and production on »The Great Dictator«. And he also acted the two main roles: the tyrant Anton Hynkel and the Jewish barber who is terrorised in the ghetto by Hynkel’s stormtroopers. The great similarity between these two characters leads to a mix-up at the end of the film and to that famous speech in which the »wrong« dictator takes to the stage and, in a passionate address, makes a plea for humanity and world peace.

»The Great Dictator«, Chaplin’s first sound film, is shown in English with the original soundtrack by Charlie Chaplin and Meredith Willson. Talking about the composition process, Willson explained: »We broke the picture into 70 musical sequences and spent weeks fitting original music to these sequences.« In this process, Chaplin’s role was far more than simply providing the occasional idea: »I have never met a man who devoted himself so completely to the idea of perfection as Charlie Chaplin. I was constantly amazed at his attention to details, his feeling for the exact musical phrase or tempo to express the mood he wanted.«

In addition to their original music, Willson and Chaplin made memorable use of two classical works: the scene in which Chaplin as the barber shaves a customer to the rhythms of Johannes Brahms’s Hungarian Dance No. 5 has gone down in film history, as has Hynkel the dictator’s dance with the inflated globe to the sound of Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin prelude.

Galactic Sounds
Heilbronner Sinfonie Orchester conducted by Alois Seidlmeier - Konzert- und Kongresszentrum Harmonie Heilbronn, Theodor-Heuss-Saal


Program Info:
What a spectacular season finale! In his rousing orchestral suite, the British composer Gustav Holst takes us to the limits of our solar system and finds an overwhelming musical representation for each of our seven neighbouring planets. It is an epic astronomical, astrological and mythical journey that takes us from Mars, the bringer of war, to Neptune, the mystical, where at the end the music seems to dissolve into stardust in spherical colours. The sounds that Holst elicits from his huge late-Romantic orchestra have repeatedly impressed and influenced subsequent generations of composers.

One who has never hidden his admiration for Holst's "Planets" suite was John Williams, and his perhaps even better-known space music, which he wrote for the film "Star Wars", complements our galactic program in a no less spectacular way and way. Join us on our journey to the limits of our solar system and beyond!

The Music of Game of Thrones & House of the Dragon
Czech Symphony Orchestra conducted by Franz Bader - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Dramatic drum rolls, sombre cello sounds, oriental melodies - the music for the "Game of Thrones" series is as complex as its plot and characters. The soundtrack by the German-Iranian Ramin Djawadi underscores everything that made the television series a worldwide success: the battle between good and evil, feelings between love and hate and the dark obsession of the main characters.

The concert evening "The Music of Game of Thrones" is dedicated entirely to the music of the series. Under the musical direction of Franz Bader, the 50 musicians of the Czech Symphony Orchestra, a choir and the vocal soloist Franziska Bader interpret the almost endless variations of the soundtrack. A spectacular light show provides the visual background.

The monumental orchestral work develops its very own dynamic and overwhelms the listener. A musical evening as gripping as the series itself.

Game Music Festival: The Sounds of the Fireflies featuring music from The Last of Us
NFM Philharmonic conducted by Robert Kurdybacha - NFM Narodowe Forum Muzyki (Hall)


Program Info:
For the first time ever, the BAFTA-nominated soundtracks of The Last of Us Part I & II are to be presented in such unique arrangements! Performed by the amazing Philharmonia Orchestra in London, and the outstanding NFM Philharmonic in Wroclaw, both joined by the Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santaollala, this performance is set to captivate hearts and minds in a true torrent of emotions.

With dozens of awards, over 17 million copies sold, and TV adaptation being HBO Max’s most-watched project in history, both parts of Naughty Dog studio’s masterpiece left a strong imprint in hearts of gamers all over the world.

Setting new standards in mature, emotional storytelling, The Last of Us follows a narrative of two characters – Joel and Ellie. Venturing through post-apocalyptic, desolated cities, they need to face not only harsh environments and mutated creatures, but also the sheer realisation that sometimes the most dangerous monsters are… other people.

Virtuosic guitar skills of Gustavo Santaollala, paired with his minimalistic approach, deliver a soundtrack that adds depth to each scene, perfectly resonating with the emotional landscape of the game. Brief moments of respite are adorned by austere compositions and ambient melancholic sounds, only to be followed by aggressive drums and industrial tones during many dreadful, deadly encounters.

Jurassic Park in concert
Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Shinpei Sasaki - Tokyo International Forum Hall A


Program Info:
John Williams - Jurassic Park

``Jurassic Park'' was released 30 years ago in 1993 and caused a huge boom all over the world.
This work, which was adapted from Michael Crichton's novel by master director Steven Spielberg, used the most advanced CG at the time to bring dinosaurs back to life in modern times. The Cinema Orchestra (commonly known as Cineoke®) will screen the entire historical movie "Jurassic Park" on a big screen, and a full orchestra on stage will perform the music part live in time with the movie. Decided! The first day will be a super subtitled version, and the second day will be a gorgeous double feature of the Japanese dubbed version.

The music for ``Jurassic Park'' was composed by John Williams, who has created countless film scores including ``Star Wars,'' ``E.T.,'' and ``Indiana Jones.'' The delicate yet bold score and expansive, adventurous music, played live by a full orchestra, increases the sense of presence and makes the dinosaurs released into the wilderness even more realistic. The world of "Jurassic Park" opens before your eyes and stimulates your whole body!

The Music Of Hans Zimmer
The Lords of the Sound - Palais des Congrès


Program Info:
The new generation orchestra LORDS OF THE SOUND returns to France
with a new program "The Music Of Hans Zimmer".

The LORDS OF THE SOUND orchestra's performance is more than just a concert, it's a real show!

“Amazing Spider man 2”, “Lone Ranger”, “The Dark Knight”, “Interstellar”, “Dune”, “Sherlock Holmes”, “Man of Steel”, “Pearl Harbor”, “Gladiator”, “Inception”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Spirit”, “Wonder Woman”, “Madagascar”, “The Lion King” – ce sont des hits de Hans Zimmer, interprétés par LORDS OF THE SOUND Orchestra!

Hans Zimmer is a German film composer who found popularity after the release of the cult film "Rain Man". "While I was composing the music for 'Rain Man,' I kept thinking: Don't ask, it will drown out the characters. Don't take first place. Raymond, the main character, really doesn't understand where he is . He sees the world differently than we do... Why wouldn't we create "world music" for the world that only exists in his head?" - reminds Hans. This work became a real breakthrough in his career - Zimmer received an Oscar nomination. Hollywood's top directors lined up to work with him. And Hans puts his all into work, often composing musical themes for two or three films at a time. His music impressed the Disney studio so much that they commissioned Zimmer to compose for the animated cartoon "The Lion King." The musical theme of the cartoon brought the composer three of the most prestigious awards - "Oscar", "Golden Globe" and "Grammy". And further, Zimmer continued to receive numerous awards, truly becoming the best of the best in Hollywood. A rare Oscars ceremony goes without a Zimmer nominee.

The success of the concerts of the LORDS OF THE SOUND orchestra combined with the best compositions of Hans Zimmer will immerse you in the unforgettable sensations of a warm summer evening, the atmosphere of a beautiful fairy tale, filled with the beauty of symphonic sound favorite compositions, rock band, brilliant visual effects, powerful voices of soloists and choirs, unstoppable energy and positivity of the whole group!

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - WiZink Center


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - Zénith Toulouse Metropole


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The Sound of James Bond, Licenced to Thrill

Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts and the wild chases. And the music of the James Bond films is always spectacular. There's the unmistakable title tune that's been around since «Dr. No» accompanied all 25 Bond films.

The classics by Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele and many other top artists are legendary.

Reflections on a legendary story. The 1720 Red Mendelssohn Stradivarius violin is said to be one of the world’s most legendary instruments. Its mysterious history and whereabouts after it went missing for 200 years, has inspired much speculation, and many tellings of its story, including the 1998, Academy Award winning film, The Red Violin. And the story of how it came into the hands of its current owner? It’s just as fascinating. Join us for a performance by world-renowned violin virtuoso, and longtime keeper of The Red Violin, Elizabeth Pitcairn, who, along with her legendary instrument, will lead the ASO Chamber Ensemble in performing captivating arrangements from the now famous movie. This concert will double both as the Season 39 finale, as well as the premiere for ASO’s first-ever international debut, a 10-day concert tour of Poland, where the Symphony will travel with Pitcairn and her Red Violin, performing at some of the country’s most prestigious concert halls and music festivals.

Jaime conducts Enigma Variations
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jaime Martín - Robert Blackwood Hall


Program Info:
Benjamin Britten - The Young Person's Guide to the orchestra, opus 34 (composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonlight Kingdom)
Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending
Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations

Jaime Martín conducts this stunning program of perennial English charmers – some of the most popular orchestral music ever written.

First, you'll tour through the instruments of the orchestra with Benjamin Britten’s delightful A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.

Then, you'll hear a work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a figurehead of England’s Folk Music Revival, who would spend his time rambling through the countryside to ‘collect’ folk tunes from villagers. One of the best-loved works in classical music, The Lark Ascending draws on such tunes, creating a glorious pastoral picture of a bird in flight on a clear, bright day.

After a long day of apparently-torturous teaching, Elgar sat down at the piano to clear his mind, and began to tinker. The final work on this program is the tune he called Enigma – to express the ‘nothingness’ from which it came. Each of the fourteen variations on this never-revealed theme paints musical portrait of one of Elgar’s friends. The most famous – Nimrod – is one of the most emotionally profound and magnificent works of all time.

Ulrich Tukur, moderation / acting / singing / accordion

As if we were the first to have the feeling of living in an ever more closely timed world. The second edition of KiezPalast shows that it was no different in the 1920s. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony and emcee Ulrich Tukur devote themselves to speed and find plenty of turbulence on the subject in classical music, film music, jazz and chanson. Whether at the speed of a Ride of the Valkyries, a space flight or a flight of the Hummel: the actors pick up speed in this cross-genre and cross-epoch concert evening, which leaves room for composed and improvised music, for texts and sounds, for great orchestral sound and small scenes. And don't worry: breathers are planned, for example with Ligeti's »Atmosphères,« a work in which time literally stands still.

From Wagner to Ligeti, from Star Wars to Flight of the Bumblebee, from classical to jazz. An orchestra concert with songs and scenes, sounds and texts

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the greatest science fiction saga in film history thrilled millions of fans worldwide. The film score by John Williams also contributed to its success and is one of the best soundtracks of all time.

In Star Wars: A New Hope, the Empire reigns cruelly over the galaxy after the Jedi Knights have been destroyed.

The plans end up with the old Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who fights against the Empire together with his apprentice Luke Skywalker, the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca. A life-threatening adventure begins, because Darth Vader is hot on their heels and wants to prevent the destruction of the Death Star.

The Star Wars saga, which was thought out by George Lucas down to the smallest detail, revolutionised the film world and continues to fascinate to this day. With its story, compelling characters and groundbreaking special effects, the Star Wars saga has become an icon of American culture. Under the direction of John Jesensky, the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg performs the award-winning music of John Williams in the Barclays Arena while the complete film is shown on a big screen.

The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The Sound of James Bond, Licenced to Thrill

Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts and the wild chases. And the music of the James Bond films is always spectacular. There's the unmistakable title tune that's been around since «Dr. No» accompanied all 25 Bond films. And like the license to kill and the vodka martini, the unmistakable theme song is part of every new 007 thriller. The classics by Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele and many other top artists are legendary.

The 21st Century Orchestra, vocal soloists and a band let the legendary soundtracks of "Goldfinger", "From Russia With Love", "GoldenEye", "Skyfall", "No Time To Die" and many more ring out in the concert hall.

With music from John Barry, Monty Norman, Eric Serra, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and others

School concert With Britten through the orchestra
Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen conducted by Jascha von der Goltz - Theater St. Gallen, Tonhalle


Program Info:
One of the great classics for young ears is Benjamin Britten's sounding orchestral leader. Which instruments play in an orchestra, how do they sound alone and how do they sound when played together with others? And can a composer mix sounds like a painter mixes colours? Yes he can! Benjamin Britten demonstrates this with a theme from a play by his legendary predecessor and 17th-century compatriot, Henry Purcell. He lets the theme wander through the orchestra, sometimes played by a single instrument, sometimes by a whole group, appearing now in this timbre, then again in that timbre. At the very end he puts all the individual pieces together into a great, sounding painting.

Jaime conducts Enigma Variations
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jaime Martín - Melbourne Town Hall


Program Info:
Benjamin Britten - The Young Person's Guide to the orchestra, opus 34 (composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonlight Kingdom)
Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending
Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations

Jaime Martín conducts this stunning program of perennial English charmers – some of the most popular orchestral music ever written.

First, you'll tour through the instruments of the orchestra with Benjamin Britten’s delightful A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.

Then, you'll hear a work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a figurehead of England’s Folk Music Revival, who would spend his time rambling through the countryside to ‘collect’ folk tunes from villagers. One of the best-loved works in classical music, The Lark Ascending draws on such tunes, creating a glorious pastoral picture of a bird in flight on a clear, bright day.

After a long day of apparently-torturous teaching, Elgar sat down at the piano to clear his mind, and began to tinker. The final work on this program is the tune he called Enigma – to express the ‘nothingness’ from which it came. Each of the fourteen variations on this never-revealed theme paints musical portrait of one of Elgar’s friends. The most famous – Nimrod – is one of the most emotionally profound and magnificent works of all time.

Jurassic Park in concert
Osaka Symphony Orchestra conducted by Shinpei Sasaki - Osaka International Conference Center Main Hall


Program Info:
John Williams - Jurassic Park

``Jurassic Park'' was released 30 years ago in 1993 and caused a huge boom all over the world.
This work, which was adapted from Michael Crichton's novel by master director Steven Spielberg, used the most advanced CG at the time to bring dinosaurs back to life in modern times. The Cinema Orchestra (commonly known as Cineoke®) will screen the entire historical movie "Jurassic Park" on a big screen, and a full orchestra on stage will perform the music part live in time with the movie. Decided! The first day will be a super subtitled version, and the second day will be a gorgeous double feature of the Japanese dubbed version.

The music for ``Jurassic Park'' was composed by John Williams, who has created countless film scores including ``Star Wars,'' ``E.T.,'' and ``Indiana Jones.'' The delicate yet bold score and expansive, adventurous music, played live by a full orchestra, increases the sense of presence and makes the dinosaurs released into the wilderness even more realistic. The world of "Jurassic Park" opens before your eyes and stimulates your whole body!

As if we were the first to have the feeling of living in an ever more closely timed world. The second edition of KiezPalast shows that it was no different in the 1920s. The Frankfurt Radio Symphony and emcee Ulrich Tukur devote themselves to speed and find plenty of turbulence on the subject in classical music, film music, jazz and chanson. Whether at the speed of a Ride of the Valkyries, a space flight or a flight of the Hummel: the actors pick up speed in this cross-genre and cross-epoch concert evening, which leaves room for composed and improvised music, for texts and sounds, for great orchestral sound and small scenes. And don't worry: breathers are planned, for example with Ligeti's »Atmosphères,« a work in which time literally stands still.

From Wagner to Ligeti, from Star Wars to Flight of the Bumblebee, from classical to jazz. An orchestra concert with songs and scenes, sounds and texts

Disney in Concert: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir conducted by Gottfried Rabl - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Klaus Badelt - Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse of the Black Pearl

One of the most original cinema hits of all time returns: The first part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, which has conquered the concert halls in recent years, can be experienced again in the Meistersingerhalle in May. Jack Sparrow's eccentric and charismatic appearance as a pirate captain - played unsurpassed by Johnny Depp - has given Disney one of the greatest cinema successes. A film spectacle whose adventurous character was perfectly staged by the two film music composers Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer and their unerring sense for the right sound.

Clearly: without the right music, everything would only be half as nice. The original soundtrack has been reduced by the music - because this time it comes live. A festival for all Jack Sparrow fans, made possible by sophisticated technology, a large screen and a fantastic orchestra that has been tried and tested many times over in film music. While the concert hall is transformed into the largest cinema hall in Nuremberg, the musicians of the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra mutate into daring adventurers - led by "Captain" Gottfried Rabl at the conductor's podium, who will steer his orchestral ship with full commitment.

Safety Last!
Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin - Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater


Program Info:
As part of the 33rd FILMKUNSTFEST MV, a classic film will be shown again with live musical accompaniment by the Mecklenburgische Staatskapelle Schwerin. This time, the famous comedy with silent film star Harold Lloyd, SAFETY LAST!, will be shown:

In order to finally get rich and marry "the girl", "the boy" moves to the big city. But luck is not on the street there either, and so he ends up working behind a shop counter. When his fiancée arrives to visit the "successful businessman", Harold literally has to risk his neck to get some money at the last minute. He devises a major advertising campaign for the company that employs him: climbing a skyscraper for $1,000. Through a chain of unfortunate circumstances, it is ultimately he himself who is suspended at a dizzying height above the abyss. On the hands of a giant clock, he fights for all-encompassing success (money, life and the girl) or a fatal fall.


In his new composition, the renowned conductor and composer Sir Carl Davis was inspired by the popular music of the 1920s and based his orchestration on the line-up of the legendary Paul Whiteman Band.

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - Halle Tony Garnier


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Filmmusic
Hollywood Film Orchestra - Muziekgebouw


Program Info:
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more!

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film buffs, music lovers and families. The best music is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film fragments. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer's most beloved blockbuster.

No other composer has influenced the film world as much as Oscar, Globe and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer over the past twenty years with his stunning 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 wrote the film scores for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be featured 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 the film's score before - rather than after - filming, thus shaping the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and the world-famous director moved to Hans Zimmer's studio.

The Hollywood Film Orchestra was founded for this concert series and usually works with state orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the world's leading halls, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

Titles such as "Hogwarts Hymn" by Patrick Doyle, from the fourth Harry Potter film, remind the audience of the mysterious and dark world of the Triwizard Tournament.

Nicholas Hooper composed "Dumbledore's Farewell" for the fifth and sixth Harry Potter films. He helped shape and mature the Harry Potter music.

Alexandre Desplat created "Lily's Theme" and composed the music for the last two parts of the film series - a grand and unforgettable finale and musical experience.

THE MAGIC FILM ORCHESTRA
The beautiful film music is performed by The Magical Film Orchestra, which was founded for our Harry Potter concerts and mainly collaborates with state orchestras from Europe.

The Sound of James Bond, Licenced to Thrill

Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts and the wild chases. And the music of the James Bond films is always spectacular. There's the unmistakable title tune that's been around since «Dr. No» accompanied all 25 Bond films. And like the license to kill and the vodka martini, the unmistakable theme song is part of every new 007 thriller. The classics by Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele and many other top artists are legendary.

The 21st Century Orchestra, vocal soloists and a band let the legendary soundtracks of "Goldfinger", "From Russia With Love", "GoldenEye", "Skyfall", "No Time To Die" and many more ring out in the concert hall.

Gustavo Santaolalla: Music from The Last of Us arr. Robert Kurdybacha

Traverse the austere musical landscapes of The Last of Us as Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack is brought to life in an unforgettable concert.

The taut storyline and tense gameplay of Naughty Dog’s seminal action-adventure title asserted its mastery ten years ago, but it is Santaolalla’s compositions, performed today by the Philharmonia Orchestra, that gave it transcendent emotional depth.

Oscar-winner Santaolalla’s musical genius bestowed an indelible mark upon the game's world. His evocative work did not just accompany the gameplay. It became the heartbeat of the characters’ struggles, immersing players in a visceral symphony of contradiction – finding beauty in a world stifling it.

Through his artistry, Santaolalla transformed The Last of Us into an unforgettable sensory experience, reminding us of the deep impact music can have on interactive storytelling.

Join us for an afternoon celebration as we enjoy Santaolalla’s compositions orchestrated live in concert, for the very first time.

These compositions brim with contrast, featuring grand, rhythmic passages enriched by full brass, as well as ethereal, seraphic melodic lines interwoven with sung beauty.

Join us for a night of ballads and bards as we enjoy Slavov’s work orchestrated live in concert, for the very first time.

Prom Praise 2024 Chariots of Fire
Orchestra - Royal Albert Hall


Program Info:
A century ago, Olympic sprinter and Christian missionary Eric Liddell refused to compete in his favoured 100 metre race because it was held on a Sunday. Instead, he competed in the 400 metres… and won. Liddell’s story and the convictions that motivated him formed the foundations for the 1981 film Chariots of Fire.

Originally attributed to the Biblical stories of Elijah and Elisha, the title was inspired by a line from William Blake’s poem And did those feet in ancient time – now best known in the popular hymn Jerusalem.

As the Olympics return to Paris in 2024 and to mark the 100th anniversary of Liddell’s remarkable race, we will be drawing inspiration from his tale of integrity, presenting an evening of musical sportsmanship that champions perseverance, character and hope.

Join us for Prom Praise 2024: Chariots of Fire – a whirlwind of musical energy, celebrating an Olympic year and worthy of this giant of sport and faith.

Shostakovich 9
Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra - The Old Museum Concert Hall


Program Info:
Linda Robbins Coleman - For A Beautiful Land
Leonard Bernstein - On The Waterfront (music from the 1954 movie by Elia Kazan)
Graeme Koehne - Elevator Music
Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 9 in Eb Major

BPO’s first concert of 2024 sees Bernstein and Shostakovich juxtaposed against contemporary composers for a program that will offer something for everyone.

Opening with Linda Robbin Coleman’s For A Beautiful Land, this symphonic ode to Coleman’s homeland of America is filled with the rhapsodic celebration of nature. On The Waterfront is Bernstein at his finest; originally written as a film score, the melodies flow from one searing emotional extreme to the next.

The boisterous Elevator Music by Australian composer Graeme Koehne begins the second half, with the tongue-in-cheek title concealing a delightful pastiche of jazz, film music and Latin influence impossible to not dance to.

Conductor David Law ends the program with the Shostakovich Symphony No. 9. Often referred to as his “Classic” symphony, the work is both light-hearted and wonderfully clear in its approach—with an almost Haydn-like simplicity contrasted with a sense of humour in orchestration.

Jaime conducts Enigma Variations
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jaime Martín - Frankston Arts Centre


Program Info:
Benjamin Britten - The Young Person's Guide to the orchestra, opus 34 (composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonlight Kingdom)
Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending
Edward Elgar - Enigma Variations

Jaime Martín conducts this stunning program of perennial English charmers – some of the most popular orchestral music ever written.

First, you'll tour through the instruments of the orchestra with Benjamin Britten’s delightful A Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra.

Then, you'll hear a work by Ralph Vaughan Williams, a figurehead of England’s Folk Music Revival, who would spend his time rambling through the countryside to ‘collect’ folk tunes from villagers. One of the best-loved works in classical music, The Lark Ascending draws on such tunes, creating a glorious pastoral picture of a bird in flight on a clear, bright day.

After a long day of apparently-torturous teaching, Elgar sat down at the piano to clear his mind, and began to tinker. The final work on this program is the tune he called Enigma – to express the ‘nothingness’ from which it came. Each of the fourteen variations on this never-revealed theme paints musical portrait of one of Elgar’s friends. The most famous – Nimrod – is one of the most emotionally profound and magnificent works of all time.

The Music of Game of Thrones & House of the Dragon
Czech Symphony Orchestra conducted by Franz Bader - Tempodrom


Program Info:
Dramatic drum rolls, sombre cello sounds, oriental melodies - the music for the "Game of Thrones" series is as complex as its plot and characters. The soundtrack by the German-Iranian Ramin Djawadi underscores everything that made the television series a worldwide success: the battle between good and evil, feelings between love and hate and the dark obsession of the main characters.

The concert evening "The Music of Game of Thrones" is dedicated entirely to the music of the series. Under the musical direction of Franz Bader, the 50 musicians of the Czech Symphony Orchestra, a choir and the vocal soloist Franziska Bader interpret the almost endless variations of the soundtrack. A spectacular light show provides the visual background.

The monumental orchestral work develops its very own dynamic and overwhelms the listener. A musical evening as gripping as the series itself.

Of the many beautiful dance movements written by Antonín Dvořák, the third movement of the "Eighth" is perhaps the most beautiful. In the summer of 1889, he gave his friend Alois Göbl an insight into the composition process: "I've got my head full, if only people could write it down right away! (...) It's easy beyond expectation and the melodies just fly to me...” Korngold was also able to invent melodies, his songs from the opera “Die tote Stadt” became big hits with audiences in the 1920s.

Dobrinka Tabakova - "Timber & Steel", perpetuum mobile for symphony orchestra from: "Earth Suite"
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto in D major op. 35, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)
Antonín Dvořák - Symphony No. 8 G Major "Englische"

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Toscana Congress Gmunden


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

In the old cinema
West Side Sinfonietta & Czerwie Band - Filharmonia Szczecin


Program Info:
Live music for the original pre-war Polish film "Bestia".

Pola Negri, the most famous Polish actress of all time, the tragic story of a love triangle brought to the screen in 1917, and excellent musicians specialising in creating new music for silent films - this is our proposal to end this Sunday afternoon in May.

Aleksander Hertz's film is the oldest and only preserved film with Pola Negri, from the period when the actress was still playing in Poland. Let us recall that the artist ended her career with the status of an undisputed Hollywood legend. The version of the film presented during the event is the latest work of the National Film Archive - Audio-visual Institute, which digitally restored the image.

The Beast is a tragic story of a love triangle. The heroine, who comes from the provinces, takes advantage of a countryman who falls in love with her and runs away from home. She goes to a big city, where she becomes a famous dancer and meets a wealthy entrepreneur. Soon, however, an angry provincial admirer appears in that city, this time with only one goal in mind - revenge.

Pola Negri is the most famous Polish actress in the world, who started on the stage of Polish theatres and on small film sets, and after the success of the film The Beast , she moved to the German cinematography market and finally landed in Hollywood. All this happened during a difficult period when silent films were being abandoned in favor of cinema with sound. Great talent and a lot of work allowed the actress to become a pioneer of modern cinema and an undisputed Hollywood legend, appearing on screen in the 1960s.

The soundtrack for the film will be provided by the Czerwie band, representing the leading Polish groups playing live music for silent films. The artists are also creators and performers of music for many theatre plays, documentaries and feature films. The band has five original albums in its discography. Czerwi's music has appeared many times on Polish and European radio stations, and each time it is met with a very warm reception, both from listeners and critics. The last time the Szczecin Philharmonic hosted artists during the pandemic was in May 2020, when the musicians played for the silent film Metropolis , directed by Fritz Lang. 1927

The group currently consists of four musicians: Wojtek Zaborowski, Maciek Kudłacik, Paweł Zawarus, Piotrek Bogunia, who use in their work, among others, ethnic instruments, xylophone and many other percussion instruments, bass, guitar, mandolin, accordion, and synthesisers.

The Czerwie band will be accompanied by the West Side Sinfonietta - a joint initiative of musicians from the National Forum of Music in Wrocław and the Philharmonic. Mieczysław Karłowicz in Szczecin. Instrumentalists from both outstanding institutions from western Poland exchange diverse artistic experiences. The orchestra is not traditionally led by a conductor, but by violinists: Marcin Danilewski and Paweł Maślanka, who, together with the excellent double bassist Jacek Sosna, form the core of the band. The ensemble's repertoire is very wide, and the music of Viennese composers has a special place in it.

Of the many beautiful dance movements written by Antonín Dvořák, the third movement of the "Eighth" is perhaps the most beautiful. In the summer of 1889, he gave his friend Alois Göbl an insight into the composition process: "I've got my head full, if only people could write it down right away! (...)

The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child Screening
National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Terry Davies - National Concert Hall, main stage


Program Info:
René Aubry - The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child

Terry Davies conducts René Aubry’s inspired score for the much-loved children’s classics The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo’s Child, based on the books by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This live music, played by the National Symphony Orchestra will accompany screenings of these two films.

The Gruffalo
Walk further into the deep dark wood and discover what happens when a quick-witted mouse comes face to face with an owl, a snake . . . and a hungry Gruffalo!

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's The Gruffalo is an undisputed modern classic and has become a best-selling phenomenon across the world with over 13.5 million copies sold. This award-winning rhyming story of a mouse and a monster has found its way into the hearts and bedtimes of an entire generation of children and will undoubtedly continue to enchant children for years and years to come.

The Gruffalo's Child
The story is about the Gruffalo's daughter who, despite her father's warning, sets off into the deep dark wood to find the "big bad mouse", the only thing her father is afraid of. The Gruffalo can not remember what he looks like and describes him as a monster.

During her winter journey, she encounters the tracks of the snake, the owl, and the fox from the previous story, each of whom she first suspects to be the "big bad mouse", but who in turn tell her where she can find the real "big bad mouse". Eventually, concluding she has been tricked by the animals (and perhaps her father), she sadly decides that she "doesn't believe in the 'big bad mouse".

At this point, she encounters the little mouse from The Gruffalo, who previously tricked her father and who her father and the animals were talking about. When she threatens to eat him, he cunningly invites her to meet the "big bad mouse", which he re-creates by using moonlight to project a tremendously enlarged and fearsome shadow to scare her away. Believing the shadow to belong to the real "big bad mouse", the Gruffalo's child flees and returns to the Gruffalo cave with faith in her father restored.

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Filmmusic
Hollywood Film Orchestra - Theater Amsterdam


Program Info:
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more!

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film buffs, music lovers and families. The best music is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film fragments. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer's most beloved blockbuster.

No other composer has influenced the film world as much as Oscar, Globe and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer over the past twenty years with his stunning 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 wrote the film scores for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be featured 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 the film's score before - rather than after - filming, thus shaping the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and the world-famous director moved to Hans Zimmer's studio.

The Hollywood Film Orchestra was founded for this concert series and usually works with state orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the world's leading halls, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

The Sound of Movies with Jonas Kaufmann
Münchner Symphoniker conducted by Jochen Rieder - Isarphilharmonie, Gasteig HP8


Program Info:
Munich Symphony Orchestra
Jochen Rieder, conductor
Jonas Kaufman, tenor

Famous film tunes of the 20th and 21st centuries

Italian coffee is cult for world star Jonas Kaufmann - and an art to which the tenor devotes himself with just as much perfection, skill and passion as anything else he tackles artistically. Since his debut at the Metropolitan Opera New York in 2006, he has belonged to the Olympus of classical music. Kaufmann is just as much in demand in the Italian and French repertoire as in German. In the meantime, the native of Munich has chosen the music and Mozart city of Salzburg as the center of his life, where he recently made his debut as Tannhäuser at the Easter Festival. But Kaufmann has also appeared in a documentary film and several times on the big screen, including "An Evening with Puccini" or live broadcasts from the MET.

Jonas Kaufmann has always been a big fan of films and film music. For his new Sony Classical album "The Sound of Movies", the versatile singer focuses on famous screen classics and devotes himself to film melodies of the 20th and 21st centuries. From "Moon River" ("Breakfast at Tiffany's") and "Singin' in the Rain" to "Somewhere" ("West Side Story") and "Strangers in the Night" to "One Enchanted Evening" or "Edelweiß" From "The Sound of Music" he brings moving film music highlights to the stage of the Isarphilharmonie in a glamorous concert evening in February. Jonas Kaufmann is accompanied by the Munich Symphony Orchestra , who can draw on a wealth of experience, especially in this genre - they have recorded the soundtracks for many Hollywood films, among other things. Together with the "King of Tenors" they give every title a very personal touch: a special listening pleasure - with the finest nostalgic crema, aromatic lightness and vocally strong expressiveness.

This concert is sold out.


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - Scandinavium


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

(Poland)
 

Williams: Harry Potter
Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maria Sydor - Filharmonia Szczecin


Program Info:
It is already a tradition at the Philharmonic that every year in May we take you to the world of the best film music. Last season it was music from the Star Wars movie , this time on our concert menu: Harry Potter - symphonic suite ! The adventures of the young wizard were told in a total of eight films. The saga became a huge box office success. Films about the adventures of Harry Potter, shot in 2001-2011, earned $7.7 billion worldwide (source: filmweb.pl ).

The suite that will open our concert consists of the most famous musical motifs from Harry Potter films, written by John Williams (born 1932), one of the most famous film music composers in history (56 Oscar nominations, including 5 statuettes), author music for the parts: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Patrick Doyle (born 1953), creator of the soundtrack for the parts of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Alexandre Desplat (born 1961), whose music can be heard in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Parts I and II .

After the break, we will return to the world of magic and sorcerers thanks to the next songs. We will hear music from the famous film by the creators of Shrek and Madagascar , which has had three subsequent parts. We are, of course, talking about the famous film How to Train Your Dragon , with music written by John Powell (born 1963). He is also the author of music for almost 70 other films, for which he was nominated several times for a Grammy and an Oscar.

This literally magical evening will end with the symphonic poem The Sorcerer's Apprentice by the French composer Paul Dukas (1865-1935). The work is subtitled Scherzo after Goethe's ballad , because it was inspired by Goethe's poem from 1797 under that title. The plot told in the poem can be briefly summarised as follows: in the absence of the sorcerer, the student wants to test the strength of the acquired magical powers. So he enchants the broom to carry water. The trick works and there is more water. However, when it becomes dangerously high, the student realises that he no longer remembers how to cancel the spell. Terrified that he will inevitably flood the entire house, he splits the broom in half with an axe, which only makes matters worse. Because now two brooms are constantly carrying water. However, everything has a happy ending, as the situation is saved by the sorcerer. It is this funny story that Dukas' piece tells, so it is a work of program music, i.e. it has a specific theme. It is also the most famous and most frequently performed work by the French composer. And although it was never written for the big screen, it was used in an animated film by Walt Disney Fantasia from 1940, in which Mickey Mouse himself played the role of the titular student. Thanks to this, the fame of this piece went beyond the walls of concert halls and it became widely known to a wider audience.

On this evening with film music, the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will be led by Maestra Maria Sydor , an excellent young conductor, assistant to the artistic director and chief conductor of the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Samsara – A Cine-Concert
Garin Nugroho (Indonesia) - Esplanade Concert Hall


Program Info:
Wayan Sudirana & Gabber Modus Operandi - Samsara

Samsara:
Director: Garin Nugroho
Music Composer: Wayan Sudirana & Gabber Modus Operandi
Musicians: Gabber Modus Operandi & Gamelan Yuganada
Lead Actors: Ario Bayu & Juliet Widyasari Burnett
Supporting Actors: Gus Bang Sada, Valentine Payen-Wicaksono, Siko Setyanto, I Wayan Wira Kusuma, Aryani Willems & Cok Sawitri

What is one willing to give up to fulfil their insatiable desires?

Following the internationally acclaimed Setan Jawa—which premiered in 2017 to a sold-out crowd at Esplanade—respected Indonesian director Garin Nugroho returns for the world premiere of Samsara, a stunning cinematic experience that marries film with live music.

Samsara follows the story a man from an impoverished family who is rejected by the wealthy parents of the woman he loves. He strikes a bargain with the Monkey King, performing a dark ritual to gain wealth but in the process, curses his wife and child into suffering.  Rooted in Indonesian mysticism, this is a universal narrative about the insatiable hunger to be what one is not, and the boundaries one is prepared to breach to realise this. 

Like its predecessor Setan Jawa, Samsara is a “cine-concert” that draws from German black-and-white films from the 1920s as well as wayang kulit (traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry). While the former featured an evocative silent film accompanied by live gamelan music and a Western classical orchestra, Samsara forgoes the orchestra for vibrant, live electronic music. The production marries this electronic soundscape with traditional Balinese performance elements like the gamelan orchestra, traditional dance, masks and wayang kulit. The film and live performance stars two Asia-Pacific luminaries of the stage and screen, Indonesian film actor Ario Bayu and Indonesian-Australian dancer Juliet Widyasari Burnett. 

Under the bold visionary eye of Garin Nugroho and the exceptional work of a powerhouse creative team, Samsara promises to be a bold and memorable cinematic experience, seamlessly bringing together the art forms, nuances, and traditions of Indonesia’s past and present.

"Zorba the Greek" is a philosophy for life

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - the song from the 1977 film of the same title directed by Martin Scorsese was originally performed by Liza Minnelli for the first time

"Dom Zły", "Róża", "Clergy", "Wołyń" - these are just a few of Wojciech Smarzowski's most famous productions, for which the soundtrack was recorded by the Gdańsk saxophonist and composer Mikołaj Trzaska. One of the most valued representatives of the jazz avant-garde in Poland performs with improvisers from all over the world, is a member of the Shofar trio, collaborates with the Ślina group and the Remont Pomp ensemble.

Krzysztof Komeda. As he talks about the behind-the-scenes of composing: 'Working with Wojtek Smarzowski requires me to participate in the film as an actor rather than as an illustrator or commentator of events. I'm not the type of Hollywood composer, my job is to follow the character and his emotional states. I try to show everything that can't be played on camera. Mikołaj Trzaska's film music harmonizes perfectly with the image, and when performed live it takes on a completely new expression. During the special concert, the artist will be accompanied by the super group Royber Trio (Trzaska / Walicki / Moretti), and the repertoire will include themes from Smarzowski's films and Paweł Maślona's new production "Kos".

The World Of Hans Zimmer - A New Dimension: featuring Hans Zimmer personally
Symphony Orchestra conducted by Gavin Greenaway - Tauron Arena


Program Info:
Powerful. Beautiful. Dramatic. Breath-taking. Strong. Touching. This is the music of two-time Academy Award® winner Hans Zimmer. In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical programme and thus advance to an international concert series at the same time. The new subtitle “A New Dimension” already hints at this: Hans Zimmer is arranging a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores for The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension. The audience will be taken on a unique musical journey that will immerse them in completely new dimensions. With more than 30 dates in 13 countries, The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension will be experienced in venues across Europe.

The concert tour’s precursor The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since been on a triumphal march around the world. Hans Zimmer himself will not appear live on stage in The World of Hans Zimmer – A New Dimension but will function as the show’s curator and musical director. He says: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor David Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience in 2024, along with some of the most outstanding, renowned soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra. David Greenaway tries to put into words how the great interplay between all the musicians works in this concert series: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. … The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.” The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music.

With The World of Hans Zimmer, the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) has created a glamorous, lively, exciting live experience of a very special kind.

Hans Zimmer’s extraordinary melodies and modern compositions captivate a huge worldwide fan base across generations. He has already energized countless international cinema blockbusters including “Dune,” “James Bond – No Time to Die,” “The Lion King,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar,” “Last Samurai,” and “Top Gun: Maverick,” among others.

Family concert With Britten through the orchestra
Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen conducted by Jascha von der Goltz - Theater St. Gallen, Tonhalle


Program Info:
One of the great classics for young ears is Benjamin Britten's sounding orchestral leader. Which instruments play in an orchestra, how do they sound alone and how do they sound when played together with others? And can a composer mix sounds like a painter mixes colours? Yes he can! Benjamin Britten demonstrates this with a theme from a play by his legendary predecessor and 17th-century compatriot, Henry Purcell. He lets the theme wander through the orchestra, sometimes played by a single instrument, sometimes by a whole group, appearing now in this timbre, then again in that timbre. At the very end he puts all the individual pieces together into a great, sounding painting.

After the extraordinary public success achieved during the last season, which ended ahead of time, the Teatro Verdi of Montecatini Terme is pleased to announce the new theatrical tour of Homage to Morricone – Oscar Music : a musical journey into the art of one of greatest composers of the twentieth century , Ennio Morricone.

Maestro Ennio Morricone, who recently retired from the stage, does not need too many introductions: he has won two Oscars, three Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, six BAFTAs, ten David di Donatello, eleven Nastri d'Argento, two European Film Awards and a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (as well as numerous other awards), and has more than 70 million records sold worldwide to his credit. His music , for which he ventured into a wide range of compositional genres, has fascinated entire generations, making him the most important soundtrack composer of all time .

The challenge that Homage to Morricone – Musiche da Oscar sets itself is to pay homage to him in a different way than usual, moving away from slavish re-workings of his repertoire. The success of recent years and the affection with which the public returns to the theatre to attend the concert are enough to demonstrate the happy outcome of this test.

The instrumental protagonist of the concert will be the prestigious Ensemble Le Muse , which had the Honour of representing Italian musical excellence in the inauguration of the semester of Italian presidency at the EU with two unforgettable concerts in Ankara and Istanbul.

If they have made the films they accompany unforgettable, these pieces of music have become works in their own right, alive outside the film. True incarnation of the American dream, cinema was also a source of inspiration for composers such as Samuel Barber, George Gershwin or Quincy Jones. ensemble In this transatlantic trip, the So Brass pays homage to this music without borders, joyful and nostalgic at the same time.

The Kid in concert
Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo conducted by Frank Strobel - Salle Garnier – Opéra de Monte-Carlo


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - the Kid

The silent tragicomedy The Kid (1921) - also known in Germany as Der Vagabond und das Kind - was Chaplin's first feature film as a director. Edna Purviance and Jackie Coogan also star alongside Charlie Chaplin. The film is about a tramp who finds and raises a young child. Due to external circumstances, however, the intimate relationship between the two is in danger. The film combines comedy with social drama, which was almost unique at the time. In 1971, half a century after the film's release, Chaplin, now in his 80s, composed the score for The Kid , cutting out some scenes he felt were too sentimental. " The Kid " is still one of Chaplin's most famous works.

Deep into Japanese Anime concert
Counterpoint Ensemble - National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, Recital Hall


Program Info:
Let's relive some touching moments and memories from times gone by! With anime artist Makoto SHINKAI's trilogy, we're taking a therapeutic trip back in time to look at some of our favorite memories. S'yo FANG, LI Yuan-chen, and CHOU Xuan-hung have taken on the task of arranging several select, purely instrumental pieces to be performed within the acoustically pristine Recital Hall, where we can reminisce once again in that excitement from the past!

On the trip of emotional healing in Suzume, within the drive to not give up on someone even when the whole world is being destroyed in Weathering with You, and through the fatalist bond that goes beyond the limits of time and space in Your Name, we get to experience again the falls of great people, storms, earthquakes, and tsunamis that shake the heart to its very core.

In SHINKAI's world, the sounds of the wind and rustling trees are comparable to music. The dream for more sounds blooms in the hearts of the characters in Suzume. With growth, love, and adventure, an extraordinary music-woven journey relates the emotional bonds that break past boundaries, and the squandering of youth like a city where it never stops pouring in Weathering with You. Time and space become interlaced as two souls switch places and overcome the fate of love's entanglement in Your Name. SHINKAI's stories, described with the detail of poetry, paintings, the wind, and dreams, manifest the melody of life.

Münchner Symphoniker conducted by Nodoka Okisawa - Prinzregententheater


Program Info:
Munich Symphony Orchestra
Nodoka Okisawa, conductor
Arabella Steinbacher, violin

Three composers whose breathtakingly diverse work takes place between revue theatre, Broadway, film, opera and the concert hall. Jacques Ibert is one of the most important French composers between the world wars, his music more colourful than almost any other. "Divertissement" garnishes frivolities from light music with classic catchy tunes - that could have been created for a music hall. Erich Wolfgang Korngold, a precocious child prodigy in the old world, left Vienna for Hollywood in 1934. In addition to film scores, he also wrote "serious" works there, such as the violin concerto for Jascha Heifetz. When you think of Kurt Weill, Mackie Messer and The Threepenny Opera come to mind. But Weill had already written a first symphony in 1921 and, after he had to leave Germany in 1933, a second one in Paris in 1934. And what a! Felt melodies, melancholy, cabaret nostalgia, anger, sadness - all this and more triggers an intense listening experience.

Jacques Ibert: Divertissement
Erich Wolfgang: Korngold Violinkonzert D-Dur op. 35, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

Symphonic Concert
Cinematography Orchestra Chapel of Russia named after A. A. Yurlov conducted by Sergei Skripka - Concert Hall Zaryadye, Main Hall


Program Info:
Irina Kostina, soprano | Polina Shamaeva, mezzo-soprano | Alexander Sukhanov, baritone
Pavel Ratynsky, bandoneon

Luis Enriquez Bacalov (1933–2017) was an Argentine composer who worked in Italy. He gained fame as an author of applied music (in 1994 he won an Oscar for the music for M. Redford’s film “The Postman”), but in his last creative period he turned to creating vocal and symphonic works for choir and orchestra, among which Misa Tango for bandoneon, mezzo-soprano, tenor, mixed choir and orchestra (1997). Outwardly it is a traditional five-part mass, but it is written in Spanish and permeated with tango rhythms. “Tango always sounds in my concerts, even if I play classical music,” said the composer. – As for the Mass... I wrote a lot for Catholic services. And when they commissioned me to do this work, the main thing for me was the idea of ​​one God for everyone - for Muslims, Jews, Catholics. That’s why I combined the two styles.”

The Requiem, written by Karl Jenkins (b. 1944) in 2005 in memory of his father, has gained recognition among listeners around the world in less than 20 years. The secret of the composition's popularity lies in the clarity of the musical language and enlightened lyricism. To the traditional parts of the funeral mass, the author added Pie Jesu and In Paradisum, as well as Japanese haiku. Combining liturgical Latin text and Japanese poetry, the Requiem reveals Western and Eastern views on the eternal theme of life and death.

The Passion of Joan of Arc in concert
Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo conducted by Frank Strobel - Salle Garnier – Opéra de Monte-Carlo


Program Info:
This silent film by Carl T. Dreyer recounts the trial of Joan of Arc, from her arrest until her death at the stake.

“The brilliant idea of ​​the author is to have conceived his drama from the major handicap of his means of expression, silent cinema, and to have deliberately wanted to film the word in action by images alone. For this Dreyer did not seek to transpose the verbal exchanges between Jeanne and her judges by means of skilful subterfuge. On the contrary, he condenses the text admirably and punctuates his film on an alternation between shots of faces, mouths, looks, gestures, facial expressions, and brief visual inter-titles that the spectator reads a few seconds after the words have been uttered. by the character. The result is a listening experience of unparalleled intensity, as if the dialogue between the characters arose from within the viewer. »

Crazy beautiful "Cartoons and Animation Across Generations"

Program Info:
When we were children, we learned about the colourful world from animation works. As I grow up and mature, I find resonance and new ideas in animation.

We have selected a number of the most talked-about animation works, from the robot-themed masterpieces of the 1970s to Dragon Ball, Slam Dunk, Detective Conan, and Pokémon in the 1980s, as well as modern One Piece, Naruto, and Attack on Titan , Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba...etc., together with the most creative "Howl Rehearsal", it uses multi-faceted comedy performance segments to recreate classic scenes and plot segments, plus a wildly interpreted theme song, allowing you to satisfy all your imagination at once !

Following the launch of the well-received "Cartoon Animation Cross Generation" in 2023, Kuangmei decided to continue to pamper fans in 2024 and came up with the most powerful 2.0 version, performing 22 cartoon animation theme songs across the era in one breath, waiting for you to "sound" together.

Metropolis LIVE
Babylon Orchester Berlin - Babylon


Program Info:
Gottfried Huppertz - Metropolis

310 days of shooting, 36,000 extras, 200,000 costumes and what was then a gigantic budget of five million Reichsmarks – a universal, timeless theme was translated into images that have lost none of their fascination to this day. ( German Cinematheque)

Like no other film, METROPOLIS represents the heyday of German silent films made in Berlin – Babelsberg. Electricity made things move, made the nights and the asphalt glow. The engine propelled the automobile and the aeroplane, and the skyscraper grew with the elevator. Through the cinematograph, the vision / illusion of a future metropolis was projected on the white walls of the cinema palaces and the people rose from the catacombs and demanded their fair share. A new era was born and is brought to life by the Babylon Orchestra Berlin in old/new splendor on the gold-framed canvas in Babylon, built in 1929.

A thrilling journey through time into the past, a thrilling journey through time into the future.

Dudamel Conducts Harry Potter
Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel - Walt Disney Concert Hall


Program Info:
Mason Bates - Philharmonia Fantastique
John Williams - Grand Suite from Harry Potter

Since the mysterious opening celesta melody of “Hedwig’s Theme” sounded in the first Harry Potter film, John Williams’ score has been inseparable in audiences’ minds from the magic and wonder of the beloved franchise. Each piece captures a character or idea, and Williams said that while he was composing, the enchanting themes all insisted on being “hatched” and “seemed to arrive all clamoring for their individual identities.” Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil in a family friendly program featuring a Grand Suite from Harry Potter with a special guest narrator and selected film clips, as well as a musical journey through the orchestra guided by a magical Sprite. Described as a “concerto for orchestra and animated film,” Philharmonia Fantastique combines music by Mason Bates, direction by Gary Rydstrom, and animation by Jim Capobianco resulting in what John Williams praised as “the biggest step forward since Fantasia” in combining music and animation.

In the 18th century, Captain Jack Sparrow is roguish yet charming, as he sails the Caribbean. But Jack’s idyllic life capsizes after his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals his ship, the Black Pearl, and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor’s beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann.

Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Will Turner, joins forces with Jack to commandeer the fastest ship in the British fleet, the HMS Interceptor, in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. The duo and their motley crew are pursued by Elizabeth’s betrothed, the debonair, ambitious Commodore Norrington, aboard the HMS Dauntless. Unbeknownst to Will, whose father once served with the crew, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his men to live forever as the undead, where each moonlight, they are transformed into living skeletons. The curse they carry can only be broken if a once-plundered treasure is restored and blood is spilt.

Experience the hit film with the score performed live by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

Starring Johnny Depp (Captain Jack Sparrow), Geoffrey Rush (Captain Barbossa), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner), Jonathan Pryce (Governor Swann), Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), and Jack Davenport (Commodore Norrington).

Cine-concert: Un chien andalou & L'âge d'or
Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Vincent De Kort - Bozar, Henry Le Boeuf Hall


Program Info:
Bozar celebrates 100 years of surrealism with an exhibition about the famous avant-garde movement in Belgium - Brussels Philharmonic celebrates with this special cinema concert that brings together two iconic films by Luis Buñuel.

-----

Spanish director Luis Buñuel, together with Salvador Dalí, created the first surrealist masterpiece in film history: Un chien andalou . A seemingly randomly edited series of scenes provokes the audience - the surrealist mentality par excellence. The first images are immediately striking: a man sharpens his razor, goes outside on the balcony and looks longingly at the night sky. As a small cloud passes over the full moon, the man brutally stabs a young woman in the eye. The subsequent visually dramatic scenes provoke and fascinate at the same time, while Buñuel denies the viewer any support or orientation.

This exercise was followed by a full-fledged work a year later: L'Age d'or . This time Buñuel tells the surreal story of a man and a woman who are passionately in love with each other, but their attempts to consummate their love are thwarted by family, the church and bourgeois society. The controversy continued, the scandal engulfed Paris. Buñuel published a statement in the Heraldo de Aragón of July 1930: “This film is a moral scandal, a revolution that will tackle the bad habits of society in conflict with nature.”

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Filmmusic
Hollywood Film Orchestra - MEC Maastricht


Program Info:
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more!

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film buffs, music lovers and families. The best music is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film fragments. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer's most beloved blockbuster.

No other composer has influenced the film world as much as Oscar, Globe and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer over the past twenty years with his stunning 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 wrote the film scores for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be featured 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 the film's score before - rather than after - filming, thus shaping the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and the world-famous director moved to Hans Zimmer's studio.

The Hollywood Film Orchestra was founded for this concert series and usually works with state orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the world's leading halls, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

Music for Silent Movies: A Comedy Triple Bill
Neil Brand, piano - Saffron Hall


Program Info:
Music has always been an essential element of the cinema-going experience. Before the advent of the ‘Talkies’, a pianist employed by the cinema would improvise a soundtrack to silent movies.

Pianist, composer and much-loved broadcaster Neil Brand recreates the experience a century on from the golden age of the silver screen silent comedies. Charlie Chaplin’s Tramp initiates the greatest roller-skating chase of all time, Buster Keaton unwittingly ends up as a paid assassin for a bunch of crooks (and features in another breathtaking chase sequence) and Harold Lloyd’s bespectacled lovelorn hero dodges girders and cranes on a half-built skyscraper high above Los Angeles. The three undisputed giants of the silent film comedy come together in one spectacular display of improvisation, imagination and film-making genius from the early days of cinema.

Furthermore, the musical ensemble has unveiled its concert plans for the ‘22-’23 season, and even before the official start of her tenure as the new music director, French conductor Nathalie Stutzmann is already leaving a significant mark. Only recently, she engaged in a conversation with Georgia Public Broadcasting, discussing her vision and aspirations for the ASO.

“What really touched me is, it’s a very good orchestra, but it’s more than this. It’s an orchestra that is willing and starving to go deep into the musical work. I felt we were in the same direction with our ambition of developing this expressivity of the orchestra, and that’s why I’m here,” she shares.

Tracks from the Star Wars Universe will dominate the event’s playlist which the ASO is already acquainted with considering their history of being under the esteemed direction of composer John Williams on multiple occasions. Revisit pieces like the original “Battle of the Heroes,” “Duel of the Fates,” “Across the Stars,” and the iconic “The Imperial March” that accompanies Darth Vader and his reign.

“The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra spun out these melodies with energy and beauty as layer upon layer of instrumentation was added. The outcome was a beautifully executed musical product with popular appeal and an observably appreciative audience,” Arts Atlanta shares in a review.

The Ameris Bank Amphitheatre has a modern architectural design, featuring a blend of sleek metal and glass elements throughout its structure.

Dudamel Conducts Harry Potter
Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel - Walt Disney Concert Hall


Program Info:
Mason Bates - Philharmonia Fantastique
John Williams - Grand Suite from Harry Potter

Since the mysterious opening celesta melody of “Hedwig’s Theme” sounded in the first Harry Potter film, John Williams’ score has been inseparable in audiences’ minds from the magic and wonder of the beloved franchise. Each piece captures a character or idea, and Williams said that while he was composing, the enchanting themes all insisted on being “hatched” and “seemed to arrive all clamoring for their individual identities.” Gustavo Dudamel leads the LA Phil in a family friendly program featuring a Grand Suite from Harry Potter with a special guest narrator and selected film clips, as well as a musical journey through the orchestra guided by a magical Sprite. Described as a “concerto for orchestra and animated film,” Philharmonia Fantastique combines music by Mason Bates, direction by Gary Rydstrom, and animation by Jim Capobianco resulting in what John Williams praised as “the biggest step forward since Fantasia” in combining music and animation.

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Filmmusic
Hollywood Film Orchestra - Flagey, Stuidio 4


Program Info:
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more!

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film buffs, music lovers and families. The best music is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film fragments. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer's most beloved blockbuster.

No other composer has influenced the film world as much as Oscar, Globe and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer over the past twenty years with his stunning 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 wrote the film scores for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be featured 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 the film's score before - rather than after - filming, thus shaping the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and the world-famous director moved to Hans Zimmer's studio.

The Hollywood Film Orchestra was founded for this concert series and usually works with state orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the world's leading halls, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

Krakow Film Music Festival: Traces of Memory
Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Alexander Humala - Philharmonic Hall Karol Szymanowski in Krakow


Program Info:
Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra
Alexander Humala – conductor
Agata Szymczewska – violin
Natalia Rubiś – soprano
Mary Komasa – soprano
Kroke

Special guests:
Elliot Goldenthal
Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz
Julie Taymor

Williams – Goldenthal – Penderecki – Komasa – Kroke

The Traces of Memory concert programme stems from the cultures of Poland and the United States, including the Jewish tradition that links both countries. It was inspired by two anniversaries: The 30th anniversary of the Polish release of Schindler's List, with unforgettable score by John Williams, and the 70th birthday of Academy Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal. The concert will also feature works by Krzysztof Penderecki, Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz and the legendary band Kroke. The concert is organised in cooperation with the Krakow Philharmonic and the United States Consulate in Krakow, which has been a part of the city for 50 years.

The first part of the concert will focus on the 30th anniversary of the release of Steven Spielberg’s Schindler's List. The story of an entrepreneur who saved more than a thousand Jews from the threat of the Third Reich, continues to move the audiences to the core and still asks the same universal questions. We cannot overlook John Williams' score, which plays a major role in this piece. The composer explored the heritage of Ashkenazi Jews, viewing it through the lens of his unique sensibility.

In addition to a suite from Schindler's List, this part will also feature a performance by Kroke, which is also celebrating its 30th birthday. Back in the 1990s, Kroke members were seen as true pioneers, discovering Krakow's forgotten klezmer traditions. Their talent caught the attention of Steven Spielberg himself, who invited them to a ceremony held for those, who survived thanks to Oskar Schindler's list. This was a watershed moment in the history of the band, which has since continued to explore the immense variety of sounds and surprise the audiences with improvisations.

War in Europe is not a thing of the past – that is why the programme also prominently features a suite by Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz written for In the Rearview. A Polish-French-Ukrainian documentary directed by Maciej Hamela tells the story of the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the fate of millions of refugees. The composer was inspired by the poetry of Lina Kostenko, which he discovered while working on a score for the 2022 Composers4Ukraine event.

The second part of the concert will be devoted to celebrating Elliot Goldenthal's 70th birthday. The Jewish-American composer is renowned as one of the most prominent musicians in the world – his accolades include an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a World Soundtrack Award, among many other awards. The composer will take part in the performance of his Symphony No. 3, illustrating Barbara Sadowska's poems – her notes and scribbles from the days of martial law in Poland, when the communist regime tried to put a stop to the democratic processes. Goldenthal, who was one of the guests of the FMF back in the day, became friends with Krzysztof Penderecki. To highlight the creative dialogue between the prominent composers, our programme features Ciaccona in memoria del Giovanni Paolo II.

The solemn concert, performed by the excellent Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra led by Alexander Humala, will highlight the American-Polish friendship and the message of the value of peace and joint security efforts.

Programme:
Part I
The Best of Kroke
Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewcz – Skrzydła from In the Rearview

On Fire! #20 Film Music Concert »GO WEST!« Music from western films
Bergische Symphoniker conducted by Miki Kekenj - Teo Otto Theater


Program Info:
How does an American steppe landscape sound? How do you make a horse gallop musically? What sound accompanies Clint Eastwood's squinting eyes during high noon before he draws his gun? We will deal with these questions in the tried and tested ON FIRE! way for a whole evening. Michael Forster leads us in stylish costume through the saloons and gold mining towns of the history of US settlers and will of course also ask himself whether and how one can still speak of »cowboys and Indians« in our time. In the musical covered wagon we have works from famous classics such as "Once Upon a Time in the West" (Ennio Morricone), "Winnetou" (Martin Bötcher) or "The Magnificent Seven" (Elmer Bernstein). But newer Western films such as "Django Unchained" (Ennio Morricone) and "The Hateful 8" (Ennio Morricone) are also included in our program. Of course, one cannot ignore the grand master of the genre, Ennio Morricone. So, get on board and head towards the Wild West.

N o r g e v a r t N o r g e i t o n e r o g b i l l e s in concert
Trondheim Symphony Orchestra conducted by Nick Davies - Olavshallen


Program Info:
Trygve Brøske - Norway our Norway in tones and images
legendary silent film success in a new festive outfit

We repeat the success and show Lyder Selvig's iconic Norwegian film to newly written music by Trygve Brøske.

The huge success and silent film Norway our Norway in tones and images from 1929 is a national treasure, which is now followed by music written almost a hundred years later. In 2022, the festival performance was part of Kosmorama's festival programme.

This is a patriotic tribute to the nation. The film is an odyssey through Norway from south to north. It is also a beautifully filmed cavalcade of the businesses that the nation lives on, such as agriculture, forestry, fishing, whaling and industry. We also take part in showjumping in Holmenkollen, and we get situations with Knut Hamsun and Sonja Henie - scenes that have been unknown to the Norwegian public for 90 years.

Our Norway Norway played three performances every day for five weeks in the autumn of 1929, accompanied by an orchestra augmented with operatic songs. Later, the film was successful in Sweden and the United States. The specially written music by Trygve Brøske consists of "old" music, music from the time of the film, complemented with Brøske's own newly written music.

The film is divided into two acts of 56 and 45 minutes, with a break between the acts.

For the new premiere in 2022, the National Library restored and digitized the film, and even tracked down forgotten scenes. The restoration work and the new premiere of Norway our Norway in 2022 was an interdisciplinary collaboration between the National Library, Kosmorama, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra & Opera, Olavshallen, composer Trygve Brøske and producer Dag Hoel.

Program Info:

Blade Runner 2049 – Edward Scissorhands – Interstellar

Aleksander Dębicz and the Polish Radio Choir on stage, with unforgettable music filling the air. Themes from Blade Runner 2049, Edward Scissorhands and Interstellar will be presented in special renditions, with the latest compositions by Aleksander Dębicz crowning the event.

Piano Chorale is a synthesis of two fan-favourite formats. It all started with a concert showcasing the pieces from Cinematic Piano by Aleksander Dębicz, an outstanding pianist who boldly combines traditional chamber music with film scores. We then started looking for inspiration in the Cinema Chorale concert series – an attempt to capture the extraordinary atmosphere created by choirs in motion pictures. This led to a brand-new concept.

The concert programme will feature new renditions of themes from classics such as Blade Runner 2049, Edward Scissorhands and Interstellar, as well as Aleksander Dębicz’s original works from his latest album Magnolia. Expect nothing but surprises that evening!

Jo­han Dalene plays Korngold
Iceland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Roderick Cox - Harpa, Eldborg


Program Info:
Samuel Barber - Overture to The School for Scandal
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violin Concerto, op. 35 in D major, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)
Béla Bartók - Concerto for Orchestra

"One of finest violin debuts of the last decade," wrote a critic from BBC Music Magazine of Johan Dalene's debut album. The Swedish virtuoso is only 22 years old and has already conquered the music world. The music magazine Gramophone put him on their list of ten classical artists who will shape music in the 21st century. In this concert Dalene performs the spectacular Korngold Violin Concerto, a captivating piece that shows all the best qualities of the soloist. Korngold had an active career as a film composer and the narrative power and colourful beauty of the Violin Concerto is easily a match for the cinematic medium when it comes to stimulating the listener's imagination. Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra is a no less inspired work. It makes relentless demands of every single player in the orchestra, bringing us everything from painful nostalgia to feisty dance movements. The opening piece on the concert is also one of imagination and energy: Samuel Barber's concert overture to Richard Brinsley Sheridan's play The School for Scandal. Barber wrote the piece while still a student, and it helped put the young composer on the map.

One Night At The Movies
Norwegian Armed Forces band - Chat Noir


Program Info:
We are repeating last year's great success with a film music concert in the venerable and historic Chat Noir!

We promise a reunion with magnificent film music, both old classics and newer hits that have in common that they have become audience favourites. As conductor, we have Nick Davies with us, who many will recognise as the conductor at the Nobel Peace Prize concerts in Oslo Spektrum together with the Broadcasting Orchestra.

Nick Davies studied at the Royal College of Music in London and began his conducting career in London's fabled West End with a wide range of musical productions. He made his symphonic debut in 1991 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and has since conducted symphony orchestras in Sydney, Hong Kong, Beijing and New York to name a few. He has worked for 10 years at the Gothenburg Opera and has also conducted the Classic BRIT Awards. Davies has conducted the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra a number of times. He has given several concerts with KORK, and was the regular conductor for the Nobel Peace Prize concerts in Oslo from 2007.

The Lost World
Monika Melcova, organ - NOSPR concert hall


Program Info:
There wouldn't be "King Kong" or "Godzilla" without "The Lost World," the first monster movie from 1925. A classic of the science fiction genre with pioneering special effects, it tells a tale from a time when geographical discoveries still sparked sensation. Director Harry O. Hoyt used cinema to show audiences something they couldn't experience in real life: exotic landscapes and prehistoric creatures fighting each other, brought back to life.

The intricate set design, costumes, and pioneering-for-its-time cinematography have aged considerably, but we can treat the film as an illustration of the development of special effects. How much novelty there was back then! You might laugh at the rubbery allosaurus, stegosaurs, or triceratops, but "The Lost World" remains a timely essay on morality and humanity's impact on the world. The characters plan an expedition to the "Lost World" and discover a prehistoric world teeming with dinosaurs, from which they manage to bring back one dinosaur to London. What happens next? You won't guess: the beast escapes and begins to terrorise the inhabitants.

After preview screenings, The New York Times wrote: "The monsters from Conan Doyle's ancient world looked completely alive. Even if it's an illusion, it's perfect." The film became a hit comparable to the summer tandem of "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie." It was even the first film shown to passengers on an airplane. Shortly after its premiere, it could be seen on the London-Paris route.

1670, Peasants, Bejbis, Blacktail, 30 Door Key, Forgotten Love – every single one of these movies owes its unique character to its score. This evening, we will be joined by some of the most talented composers to dive into the sources of our traditions, while taking advantage of the opportunities opened up by new media. This is going to be a great celebration of Polish music!

What are Polish firm, TV series and video game scores like these days? The most interesting among them serve as a testament to the virtuosity and imagination of our composers. The FMF has been supporting and promoting the Polish film music industry for more than seventeen years. As we proudly watch it grow, we give the floor to the people, whose careers are picking up speed just now.

One of the most important trends of this day and age is the search for inspiration in Slavic folk music. That's why the concert programme features a suite by Łukasz "L.U.C." Rostkowski from The Peasants, which saw tremendous box office success, as well as the mesmerizing score from Blacktail, which brought Arkadiusz Reikowski a Digital Dragons Award (Best Polish Game Audio). It will also include Paweł Lucewicz's poetic soundtrack for Netflix’s take on Forgotten Love. All of these scores combine the sound of strong white voices and traditional instruments with the power of a symphony orchestra.

The evening will culminate with the 2023 Polish Soundtrack of the Year Award ceremony – as always, the concert will be opened by last year's winner – Marek Napiórkowski. Together with outstanding jazz artists, he will showcase pieces from Bejbis.

The concert will also feature a tribute to the doyen of Polish composers – Stanisław Syrewicz, whose career started with writing the music for the first Polish-British TV co-production Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson in 1980. He composed scores for more than a hundred films, including works by such prominent directors as John Frankenheimer, Ken Russell, Jerzy Skolimowski and Andrzej Żuławski. His score for Stalin brought him the prestigious ACE Award, while the soundtrack to The Choir TV series remained the top classical music record in the UK and Australia for weeks, resulting in the Gold Record Award. The Polish Music Gala will feature songs from 30 Door Keyand The Clandestine Marriage.

The evening will see many outstanding musicians performing on one stage. The pieces from Forgotten Love will be performed by the SVAHY trio, accompanied on bass flute by Katarzyna Gacek-Dudek. The Polish-Ukrainian Zazula ensemble will join forces with Bart Pałyga to present songs from Blacktail, and the impressive score from The Peasants will be presented by Łukasz "L.U.C.” Rostkowski and the Rebel Babel Film Orchestra.

Festival Charlie Chaplin The Circus
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Philippe Béran - Bâtiment des Forces Motrices


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - The Circus

"Charles Chaplin's last silent film, more bitter in tone than the previous works, but full of humanity and poetry. Circus is a masterpiece, full of grotesque ingenuity, delicious ideas and clear, sharp images. Charlie sometimes looks like he's tired of the world. But as soon as he presses the forbidden buttons and drives the birds, pigs, rabbits and balloons into freedom, his face lights up with joy.” (Deutsches Filminstitut – DIF)

On the music: "In the late 1960s, after years of trying to forget this film, Chaplin returned to The Circus to be reissued with new music of his own composition. He even composed the title song, "Swing Little Girl," to be sung during the opening credits. A professional singer was hired to do it, but musical director Eric James found that Chaplin himself could sing the song much better. That's why he was persuaded - he was already 79 years old - to record the song. This seemed to symbolize Chaplin's reconciliation with the film that had caused him so much excitement." (David Robinson)
The vaudeville-style orchestral music reflects Charlie Chaplin's biographical background - growing up in the world of circus and variety shows. There are subtle but distinct differences in the way Chaplin musically approaches each circus act. While a march accompanies the acrobat, Chaplin places a light waltz for his vagabond's tightrope act, which does not indicate the danger at dizzy heights.

Charlie the Tramp finds work at the circus and the girl of his dreams.
While fleeing the police, who mistake him for a pickpocket, Charlie ends up in a circus arena. The audience thinks Charlie's attempts to elude the police are a new circus act, and they're enthralled. The ringmaster hires him on the spot, but soon realises that Charlie can't be funny on command. So the director arranges that Charlie "accidentally" attends every performance. Not realizing he's being taken advantage of, Charlie falls in love with the principal's daughter. His chances with the pretty acrobat are good. At least until a competitor shows up...

Spirited Away
Simple Music Ensemble World - Carole Nash Hall


Program Info:
Simple Music Ensemble World is a Chamber Music Community that raises concerts on the world’s best stages and unites professional musicians from different countries who sincerely love their work. The team is multifaceted and is continuously developing, introducing new ideas, expanding the boundaries of their creative activity.

“Spirited Away” is a cult work of the great Japanese storyteller Hayao Miyazaki. This is the first animated film that won the Academy Award as the best full-length cartoon. This is a story about a little girl who finds herself in a mysterious world and goes through many trials to save her parents from the charms of an evil witch.

Each cartoon by Hayao Miyazaki is a separate world with its own rules, philosophy and ideas. The magical music of the composer Joe Hisaishi, who acts as his full co-author, has become an important part of Miyazaki’s artistic language. Hisaishi writes the soundtrack not after the film has already been created, but in parallel with its production. The composer, after receiving a short description of the film, on its basis composes music. Hisaishi uses all kinds of music in his works: from orchestral melodies to the advanced Japanese electronics of the eighties.

Simple Music Ensemble World will feature the music by Joe Hisaishi in its own unique arrangements. These melodies will take our listeners into the magical world of Hayao Miyazaki, where evil is always stronger at first, but in the end good always triumphs over it.

Every Simple Music Ensemble World concert is a memorable event, filled with vibrant impressions and genuine emotions. The band performs in various group casts, ranging from trios to septets. Regardless of the number of members, the musicians create an amazing atmosphere in a concert hall, which attracts the audience and encourages them to attend these performances.

Beethoven Academy Orchestra, the Krakow Philharmonic and Pro Musica Mundi conducted by Erik Ochsner - Tauron Arena


Program Info:

It has been thirty years since audiences around the world were enchanted by the story of Simba and the circle of life that connects us all.

Crisp artworks, a universal message and brilliant songs by Hans Zimmer, Elton John and Tim Rice – these are just a few of the elements that make up „The Lion King” phenomenon. Disney's 1994 production is one of the biggest successes in the studio's more than 100-year history. The story of Simba – who, with the help of his newfound friends, must grow up and reclaim what is rightfully his – has earned recognition around the world. Now we want to remind it to adults and introduce the youngest to it for the first time. Thanks to audio description, the film will also be available to blind and visually impaired persons.

In composing the soundtrack, Hans Zimmer followed the best traditions of the musical – following the story of Simba, he created a colourful narrative. In doing so, he drew on East African culture, which can be heard especially in the rich rhythmic layer. Elton John's songs with lyrics by Tim Rice have also entered the canon of pop music. They are among the best in the rich oeuvre of the both English artists.

The iconic soundtrack will be performed by the Beethoven Academy Orchestra and two choirs: the Kraków Philharmonic and Pro Musica Mundi. One hundred and fifty experienced artists will perform under the baton of Erik Ochsner. The American of Finnish descent enjoys worldwide recognition as one of the leading conductors of film music.

Stanisław Bareja in the evening
Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Miłosz Bembinow - Filharmonia Szczecin


Program Info:
Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra
Miłosz Bembinow - conductor
Mateusz Czarnowski - compositions
Magdalena Małecka-Wippich - screenplay and direction

The Brilliant series will meet the legend of communist Poland cinema, because that evening the Szczecin Philharmonic will perform music from the most famous films by Stanisław Bareja himself. It will be a charming and humorous evening in the company of hotdogs, professional husbands-managers and those who are not served.

My first film was a comedy, the etudes I made in school were also comedies. This is my disposition, I don't want to force myself to do anything – said Bareja.
Was film-making really easy for him? Who was the man who created timeless comedies? What do we know about him? Stanisław Bareja made his films despite huge adversities. Humbly and persistently. While working on the script, I decided to take a closer look at the man who created cult films, while maintaining his sense of humor. After all, the story about the king of Polish comedy obliges.

Stanisław Bareja was convinced that his films would not stand the test of time. Nay. He thought that they were too firmly rooted in the communist era and would entertain viewers for two or three years at the most. Meanwhile, quotes from Bareja's films have become so deeply rooted in the Polish language that they can easily compete with classics like Mickiewicz or Wyspiański. And the movies themselves continue to enjoy unflagging popularity. Nay. The director gathers thousands of fans around him. The Bareisms website is always alive and brings together nearly 300,000 people. people on facebook!
What is the phenomenon of Bareja's films?

During the concert there will be an absurd sense of humour à là Stanisław Bareja, sudden plot twists, fun with the audience and even historical reconstructions. Not only famous stars will perform (such as Tradition, adored throughout the country), but also film critics, censors, fanatical song lovers and god knows who else. We will hear music from Stanisław Bareja's films; from songs to the opening credits of famous movies and series. There will also be Szczecin themes, but ... this is already a surprise. All this to provide the listeners with the right amount of, as Bareja himself used to say, "happy hours" and clearly improve their mood. After all, what is not done for fans of Stanisław Bareja who decide to go to the Philharmonic in the evening!

Festival Charlie Chaplin Modern Times
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Timothy Brock - Bâtiment des Forces Motrices


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - Modern Times

Producing a film in 1936 that had sound effects but otherwise worked like a silent film was a risk that ultimately turned out to be a success. Chaplin presents man in the wheelwork of modern technology, who is ranked as an appendage of the apparatus; vital needs are contrasted with exaggerated rationalization and mechanization. MODERN TIMES can thus be read as a socio-critical tragic comedy with a bittersweet poignancy. However, the structure of the film cannot be defined solely by the principle of social criticism. It is primarily a series of short episodes, cleverly connected, in which “the Tramp” makes his final appearances. With a résumé of grace, artistry and pantomime occurs. Chaplin's most famous character off the screen. The tramp and the girl on their way to the horizon together - no final image in film history has become more popular.

Music: Although MODERN TIMES was conceived as a talkie, Chaplin still maintains its silent film aesthetic and places little dialogue within the film. The musical density is correspondingly high. The multifaceted composition for MODERN TIMES is among the most complex and innovative in Chaplin's entire opus. The music not only reflects the story, but also translates its message musically. The range of expression ranges from depressing passages to youthful, lively interjections. The dance numbers in the café in particular are bursting with life and testify to the special quality of the composer Chaplin. In addition, the audience could hear the voice of the tramp for the first time, singing the song "Titina".

Content: Never before had Charlie the tramp endured so many stations; the episodes follow one another and throw him into ever new situations, all of which demand something unexpected from him. As a worker on the assembly line, he gets out of step and becomes the test subject of a feeding machine, which suddenly mutates into an instrument of torture. This traumatic experience temporarily leads the tramp to psychiatry. Released as cured, he involuntarily becomes the leader of the strike and ends up in prison. There, under the influence of drugs, he prevents a prisoner escape, which leads to his early release. The tramp tries to build an idyllic life with a girl whose father was shot during a demonstration. But the cycle of unemployment, job search and wrongful arrest cannot be stopped. The girl finds a job as a singer in a restaurant. Charlie gets a chance there too: as a waiter and singer. As a waiter he is a failure, but as a singer he proves to be a sensation - although he cannot sing properly, forgets the text and says something incomprehensible. Everything seems to be going well. Then the police show up to take away the girl who ran away from welfare. Charlie flees with her, in the final scene they walk towards the horizon together.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Filmconcert: City Girl
The James Whale Orchestra - Stadsschouwburg De Vereeniging


Program Info:
Oliver Parr - City Girl

Piano Ernst Paul Fuchs
Harp Carla Bos
Cello/Banjo/Composition Oliver Parr

In City Girl, a breathtaking silent film from 1930, a romance unfolds between a waitress and a young, naive wheat farmer. The James Whale Orchestra captures the emotions of the scenes during this screening, combining technology with live soloists for an immersive experience.

During this evening you will enjoy the film and orchestra together.

The production of City Girl was described as simply breathtaking and an emotionally intense experience. A silent film is not a sound film, but a completely different form of art. Something that film director FW Murnau understood like no other. The story takes place in rural Oregon. But it is certainly not your average Hollywood story. Both the girl and the farmer cherish a dream that is mercilessly opposed by the young man's tyrannical father.
With beautiful camera work, use of lighting effects, coupled with the vast landscapes of Oregon, the film creates an enchanting contrast with the rough, raw and sometimes violent events that take place. City Girl takes you on an emotional journey through love, longing and the struggle against the limitations of fate, all against the backdrop of an era marked by economic hardship and human resilience.

The story of Beethoven's fascination with Napoleon the democrat and his disappointment with Napoleon the emperor after his coronation in 1804 is widely known. One hundred and two hundred years after Beethoven, the cult of individuals has had and continues to have a negative impact on world history. Composers who managed to escape the disastrous influence of 20th-century totalitarianism in emigration included: Austrian of Jewish origin Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Russian Sergei Rachmaninoff. Korngold's famous Violin Concerto was written in the United States when Nazi Germany was annexing the composer's homeland. Rachmaninov fled revolutionary Russia with his family in 1917, and his last orchestral work, Symphonic Dances, Op. 45 from 1940 are an outstanding sum of his creative and personal experiences. The evening will begin with the Polish premiere of the piece Incontri by Piotr Moss on the occasion of the composer's 75th birthday. Inspired by a poem by Jan Lechoń entitled The work was the first work that began the Polish composer's emigration "Paris period" in 1983 and had its world premiere at the Théatre du Châtelet. The concert will be the culmination of the year-long residency of the young conductor Daniel Mieczkowski at Sinfonia Varsovia.

Program Info:
What would a film be without music? Unthinkable. But music without film? Wonderful! The images come to life in your mind's eye - the concert stage becomes an imaginary cinema hall. This year, the Rhein-Main Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Christian Ferel has, among others, the films “Lord of the Rings”, “Mission Impossible”, “ET” and “Back to the Future” on its program, but also the classics “Star Wars “ and “Pirates of the Caribbean” are of course not to be missed. The program is framed by two movements from the suite “The Planets” by Gustav Holst: at the beginning “Venus, Bringer of Peace” and at the end “Jupiter, Bringer of Happiness”, both things that we all want so much together.

With music from Howard Shore, Lalo Schifrin, John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, Gustav Holst and others

After the last concerts, the press wrote “Entertaining and of high musical quality” and “The concert thrilled the audience so much that there was minutes of applause and a standing ovation at the end.”

The Rhein-Main Symphony Orchestra was founded in Ingelheim in 2015. The orchestra is now known far beyond the borders of Ingelheim and regularly performs in Wiesbaden, Mainz, Bad Kreuznach, Bingen and other cities in the region.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Kongress & TheaterHaus Bad Ischl


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Festival Charlie Chaplin The Great Dictator
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Timothy Brock - Bâtiment des Forces Motrices


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin The Great Dictator

A barber wounded during the First World War returns home after 20 years within hospital walls. His shop has grown full of cobwebs and dust, but it is the hateful graffiti on his shop window that takes him totally by surprise. Hynkel, the tyrannical dictator, and his henchmen persecute the barber, as well as the rest of the Jewish community, including the beautiful Hannah… A visionary satire that marked history, just as history itself left its mark on the film.

The music
In July 1940, Charlie Chaplin finished shooting The Great Dictator, but there was still plenty of work to be done. Directly after shooting, Chaplin continued editing the picture and as his son Charles Chaplin, Jr. recalled, “things did relax for Paulette [Goddard] and the rest of the cast … but not for Dad. Still the human dynamo, he turned his attention to composing.” As for his previous two films, City Lights (1931) and Modern Times (1936), Chaplin controlled the music for The Great Dictator by composing his own.

The Great Dictator was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Original Score in 1941.

Program Info:

Baldur Bronnimann, conductor
Rosanne Philippens, violin

In this last concert of the season, we travel between Europe and the United States. John Cage, the North American composer who most influenced European artists of the last century is the author of Atlas Eclipticalis , a very open piece that does not indicate either the time or the number of performers. The work superimposes Cage's own language on this astronomical atlas, generating a question about space and time completely unheard of until its premiere in 1961. Unlike Cage, Korngold's figure faded, unable to adapt to life in American exile . Consecrated as a film composer, which embarrassed his father, he writes his "swan song" in the Violin Concerto in 1945. The composer who has accompanied us all season, Stravinsky, closes the evening with the Symphony in three movements , written fully in its so-called neoclassical stage.

John Cage: Atlas Eclipticalis*
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violin concert D-Dur, op.35: the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

The great gala of adventure films
Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg - Nikolaisaal


Program Info:
The scent of the wild wide world, captured in grandiose film music - from »Indiana Jones« to »Pirates of the Caribbean«, »Star Wars« to »Postman«

Exotic locations, dangers and adversities of all kinds, the hunt for fame, justice, wealth and happiness, and death always in sight - the adventure film genre has enjoyed unbroken popularity to this day, despite or perhaps because of its wonderfully anachronistic appearance. In sober, disenchanted times like ours, the fairy tales of space, pirates and sandals on canvas unfold their very special escapist appeal. Where adventure film is on the label, film music has always been bolder, as this pulse-racing and entertaining evening shows, which of course will not end without the world-famous "Raiders March" penned by old master John Williams.

Fiddler on the Roof
City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Anthony Gabriele - KKL


Program Info:
Jerry Bock - Fiddler on the Roof

Experience the live world premiere of the iconic 1971 musical film featuring the Oscar-winning work of Hollywood legend John Williams !

The film adaptation of the popular Broadway musical “Fiddler on the Roof” is a magnificent homage to music, time-honoured traditions and the inexhaustible power of the human spirit. “Fiddler on the Roof” is set in the village of Anatevka in Ukraine in 1905 and tells the story of Tevye (Chaim Topol), a poor milkman. He wants to find good husbands for his five daughters and at the same time tries to preserve the traditions of his religion and community in a changing world.

The Yiddish-speaking author Sholem Aleichem wrote a series of short stories beginning in 1894 under the title “Tevye, the Milkman.” Based on the 1964 musical with a score by composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick, a stage play by Joseph Stein and an original Broadway production directed and choreographed by Jerome Robbins and produced by Harold Prince in New York, it was created in 1971 the legendary film “Fiddler on the Roof”.

At the 1972 Academy Awards, director Norman Jewison's film was awarded three Oscars, including for the film score adapted by John Williams. “Fiddler on the Roof – The Film with Orchestra” was specially edited for live performance.

Experience this iconic masterpiece like never before and let yourself be carried away by its unforgettable songs such as Tradition and If I Were a Rich Man ! While the film shines on the big screen, the 75-member City Light Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Anthony Gabriele performs the music exactly to the film with the original vocals.

Filmmusik-Konzerte "Höhenflüge" (Flights of heights)
Sinfonieorchester Rhein-Main conducted by Christian Fere - Open Air Burggarten Burgruine


Program Info:
What would a film be without music? Unthinkable. But music without film? Wonderful! The images come to life in your mind's eye - the concert stage becomes an imaginary cinema hall. This year, the Rhein-Main Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Christian Ferel has, among others, the films “Lord of the Rings”, “Mission Impossible”, “ET” and “Back to the Future” on its program, but also the classics “Star Wars “ and “Pirates of the Caribbean” are of course not to be missed. The program is framed by two movements from the suite “The Planets” by Gustav Holst: at the beginning “Venus, Bringer of Peace” and at the end “Jupiter, Bringer of Happiness”, both things that we all want so much together.

With music from Howard Shore, Lalo Schifrin, John Williams, Alan Silvestri, Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, Gustav Holst and others

After the last concerts, the press wrote “Entertaining and of high musical quality” and “The concert thrilled the audience so much that there was minutes of applause and a standing ovation at the end.”

The Rhein-Main Symphony Orchestra was founded in Ingelheim in 2015. The orchestra is now known far beyond the borders of Ingelheim and regularly performs in Wiesbaden, Mainz, Bad Kreuznach, Bingen and other cities in the region.

Film Music
Musiciens de l’Orchestre de Paris - Philharmonie de Paris, Amphithéâtre - Cité de la musique


Program Info:
Film, a popular art that some predicted would replace opera, is also a musical art. Drawing on classical tradition and jazz, spanning Europe and the United States, this programme showcases the seductive charm of film music.

For this concert in homage to the silver screen, a classical string quartet and jazz Quartet share the stage, in a back-and-forth that ultimately becomes a melting pot.

Cinema, one of the great artistic innovations of the 20th century, has forged a fascinating relationship with music involving a host of illustrious figures, including Shostakovich, who collaborated with the director Kozintsev.

Before pursuing his career in Hollywood, still a child prodigy, Korngold composed his Quartet No. 2 infused with lyricism and echoes of Viennese waltzes. Nino Rota, known for his legendary collaboration with Fellini, is also the composer of a masterly Quartet, a work of admirable classical balance.

Gershwin melodies, Miles Davis’ unforgettable accents in Lift to the Scaffold and other brilliant standards make up the programme for this ‘show’ dedicated to the magic of cinema.

Program
Works by Dmitri Chostakovitch, George Gershwin, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Nino Rota

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." For decades, the biggest science fiction saga in film history has delighted millions of fans of all generations worldwide. In Star Wars: A New Hope, the galaxy falls under the savage rule of the Empire after the Jedi Knights were defeated. Only one rebel group, led by Princess Leia, succeeds in stealing the blueprints for the Death Star and throwing the Empire into turmoil. The plans reach the old Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, who takes up the fight against the Empire with his apprentice Luke Skywalker and the smugglers Han Solo and Chewbacca. An adventure of life and death begins as Darth Vader is on their trail to prevent the destruction of the Death Star.

The Star Wars saga, thought through down to the last detail by George Lucas, revolutionised Hollywood's film landscape and has lost none of its fascination to this day. With its mythical story, compelling characters, and groundbreaking special effects, the Star Wars saga has become an icon of American culture. Conducted by Ben Palmer, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra will perform John Williams' Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy-winning music at the Ahoy, RTM stage, while the full film will be shown on a giant screen.

The greatest music from French cinema
Orchestra - La Seine Musicale


Program Info:
It is sometimes claimed that good film music should not be noticed. The composers featured in this program did not follow this advice, and that's good for us! Admittedly composed for the screen, the soundtracks of film are partitions with whole share which can very well do without images. Or rather, they are scores so evocative that they have the power to awaken images in us, and even better: they give us the pleasure of remembering the images that go with them, and even of guessing at them.

A concert like a Cannes festival for your ears with the greatest composers of film music: from Georges Delerue to Francis Laï via Jean Wiéner or Paul Misraki , Claude Bolling and many others...

So many cult melodies that adorned French cinema in the 1960s and 1970s. Their musical treasures draw on all genres – song, jazz, classical – to marry the story and its characters: both comedy and passionate love ( one thinks of the iconic dance scene in Et Dieu…créa la femme or the irresistible dabadabada in A Man and a Woman ), destructive love ( Le Mépris and the haunting theme of the string orchestra) and even thriller (with the melancholic harmonica theme in Touchez pas au grisbi and also Borsalino with a tasty jazz that immediately sets the scene for Delon and Belmondo).

Inseparable from the films for which they composed the soundtrack, these composers have immortalized the masterpieces of Godard , Lelouch , Becker … Thanks to their unforgettable melodies, they achieve a perfect marriage between music and the seventh art!

Program Info:
Karl Bartos - The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Robert Wiene’s silent film classic in a new soundtrack

Two legendary worlds collide: the creativity of a long-time Kraftwerk band member and a milestone in cinema history. It is no exaggeration to use the adjective »sensational« to describe what has been created in recent years in the Hamburg studio of musician Karl Bartos, who played a key role in shaping Kraftwerk’s electropop style from 1974 to 1990. It brings the silent film classic »The Cabinet of Dr Caligari« into our time through sophisticated sound design and creates a total work of art that immediately casts a spell over you. The fascinating interplay of fantasy and touching chills is given something intoxicating and beguilingly beautiful by Barto’s sound art.

Karl Bartos has been fascinated by »The Cabinet of Dr Caligari« for almost twenty years and has given this silent film classic a fitting artistic guise. He has not only created a completely new, consistent soundscape to accompany the movie, but also his own music. He uses the timeless sound of the symphony orchestra, albeit synthesised and electronically modulated.

This spectacular project combines the film screening of the first psycho-thriller with sounds and music created live on stage by Karl Bartos and his colleague Mathias Black.

Cine-concert | Organ - October Sergei Eisenstein
Jeremy Joseph, organ - Auditorium-Orchestre National de Lyon, Grande Salle


Program Info:
Jeremy Joseph, improvised organ accompaniment - October

Shot to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution, this legendary film allows Eisenstein, beyond pure propaganda, to refine his editing theory and sign an ultra-spectacular work, a true "blockbuster" of era.

It was the success of Battleship Potemkin that offered Eisenstein, supported by his sidekick Grigori Aleksandrov, sometimes an actor and here co-director, the chance to sign one of the two official films celebrating the 10th anniversary of the young Soviet Union. No means are refused to him, the Red Army providing material and extras in quantity. From February 1917, and the fall of the Tsar, to the triumph of the Bolsheviks eight months later, the film chronicles, obviously partisan, a decisive year. With crowd scenes worthy of a blockbuster, in particular the capture of the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, Eisenstein uses all the resources of editing, even collage, to give additional visual force to his subject: the lie of religions , the ridicule of opponents, etc. He will also be accused of formalism, a style deemed incompatible with socialist realism. There remains an immediate history lesson and an often stunning film. The Austrian Jeremy Joseph, organist of the Court Chapel and professor at the University of Music in Vienna, will bring his talent as an improviser and will deploy all the power and colours of the Auditorium organ to give its strength to this memorable fresco.

Film music concert: Charlie Chaplin The Circus
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Philippe Béran - Théâtre de Beaulieu


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - The Circus

"Charles Chaplin's last silent film, more bitter in tone than the previous works, but full of humanity and poetry. Circus is a masterpiece, full of grotesque ingenuity, delicious ideas and clear, sharp images. Charlie sometimes looks like he's tired of the world. But as soon as he presses the forbidden buttons and drives the birds, pigs, rabbits and balloons into freedom, his face lights up with joy.” (Deutsches Filminstitut – DIF)

On the music: "In the late 1960s, after years of trying to forget this film, Chaplin returned to The Circus to be reissued with new music of his own composition. He even composed the title song, "Swing Little Girl," to be sung during the opening credits. A professional singer was hired to do it, but musical director Eric James found that Chaplin himself could sing the song much better. That's why he was persuaded - he was already 79 years old - to record the song. This seemed to symbolize Chaplin's reconciliation with the film that had caused him so much excitement." (David Robinson)
The vaudeville-style orchestral music reflects Charlie Chaplin's biographical background - growing up in the world of circus and variety shows. There are subtle but distinct differences in the way Chaplin musically approaches each circus act. While a march accompanies the acrobat, Chaplin places a light waltz for his vagabond's tightrope act, which does not indicate the danger at dizzy heights.

Charlie the Tramp finds work at the circus and the girl of his dreams.
While fleeing the police, who mistake him for a pickpocket, Charlie ends up in a circus arena. The audience thinks Charlie's attempts to elude the police are a new circus act, and they're enthralled. The ringmaster hires him on the spot, but soon realises that Charlie can't be funny on command. So the director arranges that Charlie "accidentally" attends every performance. Not realizing he's being taken advantage of, Charlie falls in love with the principal's daughter. His chances with the pretty acrobat are good. At least until a competitor shows up...

New Worlds
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kirill Karabits - Beacon Hall


Program Info:
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Kirill Karabits Conductor
Liya Petrova Violin

Dvořák’s homesick postcard home ‘From the New World’ jostles in a world of the American dream with Korngold’s lush, technicolour concerto.

In his Violin Concerto, Korngold reworked themes from several of his film scores. Full and romantic, the music certainly brings to mind the swashbuckling films of the period. With its full-throated lyricism and unbridled virtuosity, the main theme develops in freely rhapsodic fashion, embellished with pyrotechnic passagework that ascends into the stratosphere.

Remaining incredibly fresh and abounding with memorable melodies, the Ninth Symphony describes Dvořák’s spiritual and emotional journey from his intense longing for his beloved Bohemia to the thrill of the ‘New World’ and its varied peoples.

Gara Karayev forged his own distinctive use of native Azerbaijani folk music. The ballet The Seven Beauties brims with an exotic array of appealing rhythms and melodies.

Programme
Gara Karayev - The Seven Beauties Suite
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)
Antonín Dvořák - Symphony No.9 ‘From the New World’

Bed and Sofa (PG*) Silent Film & Live Music
Electronic & Produced Music Department at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama - Barbican, Cinema 1


Program Info:
This wry sex comedy offers fascinating insights into male-female relations in the supposedly post-bourgeois communal society of Soviet Russia.

Arriving in Moscow to take up a new job, but with nowhere to stay, Volodya looks up his old army buddy Kolya. Kolya offers him the sofa in the tiny one-room flat he shares with his wife Lyuda, only to have his generosity betrayed a while later when he is away on a business trip. When he returns home, Volodya has moved into the bed, and it’s Kolya’s turn on the sofa. But how satisfactory is this arrangement for Lydua? Has she perhaps only acquired two husbands to cook and clean for?

Once believed lost, the film was rediscovered in the 1970s and has since become regarded as a Russian masterpiece of the silent era, notable for its unusual frankness, naturalistic performances and sympathetic female character.

Bed and Sofa screens here with music by the Electronic & Produced Music Department at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama.

Jörg Widmann conducts Korngold and Mozart
Bamberger Symphoniker conducted by Jörg Widmann - Konzerthalle, Joseph-Keilberth-Saal


Program Info:
In 1784, the publicist Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart raved about the clarinet: »The character of the clarinet is: feeling melted in love – so completely the sound of the sensitive heart.« Carl Maria von Weber was also enraptured by the orchestral instrument, which was still young at the time – especially because of the artist friendship with Heinrich Joseph Baermann, the famous clarinettist of the Munich court orchestra, who premiered the beautiful Concertino in 1811: an effective piece with a magnificent introduction, wonderful variations and a lively finale. We look forward to the virtuoso interpretation by Jörg Widmann, who will also conduct us through two other scores. Korngold, who was considered a musical genius and was later in demand as a film composer in Hollywood, occasionally returned to his homeland after the Second World War. The Vienna Philharmonic played his symphonic serenade for the first time in 1950 - which, together with sparkling melodies and somnambulistic nuances, exudes a large portion of nostalgia in memory of the long-gone Romantic era. Mozart's popular G minor symphony was written in 1788 at a time when he was living in Vienna more or less as a freelance artist. It impresses with grandiose melodic inventions and an individual instrumentation without drums and trumpets. Musically, “mysterious shudders” are expressed in emotions such as restlessness, excitement, lamentation and despair – a profound masterpiece that the “Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung” has already praised with the words: “It will never fail to have an effect, always irresistible to the soul of the listener take and carry away.«

Carl Maria von Weber - Concertino for clarinet and orchestra in E flat major op. 26
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Symphonic Serenade for string orchestra in B flat major, Op. 39 uses a short motif from ANTHONY ADVERSE in the slow movement and a theme from CAPTAIN BLOOD in the finale.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Stiftung Kloster Eberbach


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit - Das Konzert
Orchestra - Circus Krone Bau


Program Info:
Howard Shore - Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit

The film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece THE LORD OF THE RINGS literally lives off the monumental music of Oscar winner Howard Shore. To experience the well-known film music with symphonic orchestra, choir and the Tolkien ensemble in concert is not only a thrilling adventure for Middle-earth fans.

From the threatening sounds of Mordor and the shrill attack of the black riders to the cozy folk songs of the Hobbits from the Shire to the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves - almost 100 contributors will make the Hamburger Mehr! Transform the theater on the wholesale market into a musical scene of Middle-earth. Howard Shore's film music will provide the very finest of headscapes in a highly emotional and pictorial way, and the audience in J.R.R. Suck in Tolkien's story.

HOWARD SHORE, who composed the music for the film trilogies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", was awarded three Oscars for this and his leitmotif, as in Richard Wagner's Ring Trilogy, lets the audience feel when It becomes threatening when the Ring unfolds its power and corrupts its wearer, SHORE is one of Hollywood's most successful film composers, and is also responsible for the Gangs of New York, Panic Room, and The Aviator soundtracks.

Guest performance in the Kaisersaal of the Residenz in Würzburg
Bamberger Symphoniker conducted by Jörg Widmann - Kaisersaal der Residenz


Program Info:
In 1784, the publicist Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart raved about the clarinet: »The character of the clarinet is: feeling melted in love – so completely the sound of the sensitive heart.« Carl Maria von Weber was also enraptured by the orchestral instrument, which was still young at the time – especially because of the artist friendship with Heinrich Joseph Baermann, the famous clarinettist of the Munich court orchestra, who premiered the beautiful Concertino in 1811: an effective piece with a magnificent introduction, wonderful variations and a lively finale. We look forward to the virtuoso interpretation by Jörg Widmann, who will also conduct us through two other scores. Korngold, who was considered a musical genius and was later in demand as a film composer in Hollywood, occasionally returned to his homeland after the Second World War. The Vienna Philharmonic played his symphonic serenade for the first time in 1950 - which, together with sparkling melodies and somnambulistic nuances, exudes a large portion of nostalgia in memory of the long-gone Romantic era. Mozart's popular G minor symphony was written in 1788 at a time when he was living in Vienna more or less as a freelance artist. It impresses with grandiose melodic inventions and an individual instrumentation without drums and trumpets. Musically, “mysterious shudders” are expressed in emotions such as restlessness, excitement, lamentation and despair – a profound masterpiece that the “Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung” has already praised with the words: “It will never fail to have an effect, always irresistible to the soul of the listener take and carry away.«

Carl Maria von Weber - Concertino for clarinet and orchestra in E flat major op. 26
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Symphonic Serenade for string orchestra in B flat major, Op. 39 uses a short motif from ANTHONY ADVERSE in the slow movement and a theme from CAPTAIN BLOOD in the finale.

The concert will begin with the Fanfare For The Common Man by Aaron Copland (1900 – 1990) – widely considered the forerunner and father of modern American classical music. The composer took the title from the words of Henry Wallace, vice president of the USA during the third term of Franklin D. Roosevelt. He called the 20th century the century of the common man. Right after its premiere in 1943, Copland's work was hailed by Leonard Bernstein as the greatest hit in the world.

Jaws in Concert
Charlotte Symphony - Belk Theater


Program Info:
John Williams - Jaws

The original summer movie blockbuster, with an Academy Award®-winning score that made John Williams a household name, Jaws is the ultimate film-with-live-orchestra experience!

Based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley and directed by Steven Spielberg, this masterpiece of suspense tells the tale of a small, New England seaside community terrorized by a predatory great white shark during the busiest weekend of the tourist season – the 4th of July.

After several local residents are killed in the waters just off shore, it falls to three unlikely heroes – police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine scientist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and surly local sea captain Quint (Robert Shaw) – to hunt down and kill the beast before more lives are lost.

Despite a notoriously difficult ocean shoot with constant technical challenges, Jaws became the most successful movie of all time (until the release of Star Wars two years later), and Spielberg has often credited Williams’ iconic score with much of the film’s success. Now for the first time, audiences will have the chance to experience the power of a live symphony orchestra performing the entire score in sync with one of the greatest motion pictures of all time.

In the words of Chief Brody… “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”

Now the symphonic musicians are going completely nuts! For the second evening of U-TURN | the orchestra, the musicians dare something never heard before: Robin Hood, the rascal from Sherwood Forest, experiences its world premiere as a live radio play with orchestra. The story will be presented by none other than comedy star Martina Hill. Sure, the interlude music from Korngold's The Adventures of Robin Hood is played by the orchestra, but you make the noises! So if you want to translate the rustling of the forest, the cheering of the followers or the languishing gaze of the lovers into the sound of the radio play, then you've come to the right place. Right in the middle there instead of just! Before that, conductor and composer Gordon Hamilton will present a piece from Shostakovich's phenomenal 5th symphony and his latest composition: The world is screwed - the blatant mix of orchestral sound and politicians' sayings. With quotes: Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Hero From California), Angela Merkel (mum from the Uckermark), Karl Lauterbach (office hours with Karl) and others.

Perspectives: Philip Glass Cocteau Trilogy
Katia Labèque Piano - Marielle Labèque Piano - National Concert Hall, Main Stage


Program Info:
Philip Glass - Orphée
Philip Glass - La Belle et la Bête, score for Jean Cocteau’s film from 1946
Philip Glass - Les Enfants Terribles
(suite for two pianos)

NCH is pleased to collaborate on this new commission by Katia and Marielle Labèque for Phillip Glass.

In 1964, at the age of 27, Philip Glass moved to Paris to study under Nadia Boulanger. Their meeting would prove decisive in the young composer’s training and afforded him an immersion into French culture that left a lasting impression on the artist. His love of France also gave him a command of the French language that would help him to write and versify the operas that he dedicated to Cocteau during the 1990s.

In 2021, Katia and Marielle Labèque created the instrumental suites for two pianos taken from Philip Glass’s opera Les Enfants Terribles, based on the film by Cocteau. The success of both the record and their concerts – held at venues including the Philharmonie de Paris – left the pianists all the more eager to ask Philip Glass and his music director Michael Riesman to complete the trilogy by applying the same method to the remaining two operas in the Cocteau Trilogy: Orphée and La Belle et la Bête.

The Passion of Joan of Arc – Film with Live Music
Pianist Utsav Lal - Carole Nash Hall


Program Info:
The Passion of Joan of Arc
Directed by Carl Dreyer, France, 1928, 100 minutes, PG

Trailblazing pianist Utsav Lal scores Dreyer’s haunting movie masterpiece.

The Passion of Joan of Arc is one of the most emotional films in all of cinema, dramatising Joan’s final days as she is tried for heresy and executed by fire. The portrayal of Joan by Renée Maria Falconetti is frequently held up as the all-time finest performance in cinema. Falconetti had never performed in film before, and she never did so again.

Jaws in Concert
Charlotte Symphony - Belk Theater


Program Info:
John Williams - Jaws

The original summer movie blockbuster, with an Academy Award®-winning score that made John Williams a household name, Jaws is the ultimate film-with-live-orchestra experience!

Based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley and directed by Steven Spielberg, this masterpiece of suspense tells the tale of a small, New England seaside community terrorized by a predatory great white shark during the busiest weekend of the tourist season – the 4th of July.

After several local residents are killed in the waters just off shore, it falls to three unlikely heroes – police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider), marine scientist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and surly local sea captain Quint (Robert Shaw) – to hunt down and kill the beast before more lives are lost.

Despite a notoriously difficult ocean shoot with constant technical challenges, Jaws became the most successful movie of all time (until the release of Star Wars two years later), and Spielberg has often credited Williams’ iconic score with much of the film’s success. Now for the first time, audiences will have the chance to experience the power of a live symphony orchestra performing the entire score in sync with one of the greatest motion pictures of all time.

In the words of Chief Brody… “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!”

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Wasserschloß Klaffenbach - Schloßhof


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

A good opportunity to introduce children to the irresistible rhythms of jazz transposed to the slums of New York (West Side Story, here condensed in a Symphonic Suite where the main themes follow one another: Mambo, Somewhere, fight between the Jets and the Sharks…).

Jazz, musicals, urban colors, the influence of different cultures… America is all of these. The cinema too, illustrating the moving and true story of Oskar Schindler.

Very popular in Mexico and now all over the world, Márquez's Danzón n°2 will conclude this concert in an intoxication of rhythms and colors.

America
Orchestre Colonne - La Seine Musicale


Program Info:
Invited to New York to guide the first steps of the brand new Conservatory of Music, Dvořák realised that the American people still had everything to build: their art, their heritage. In a brilliant intuition, he suggested that young American composers rely on popular music, that from Native American and Afro-American cultures.

In a way, by imposing jazz in concert halls, Gershwin followed the path suggested by his illustrious elder: in February 1924, Rhapsody in Blue triumphed at the Aeolian Hall in New York. Two orchestrations coexist: the one – original for piano and jazz band – from 1924, then a second from 1942 when Ferdé Grofé, in memory of his friend's wishes, offered this Rhapsody an expanded symphonic setting.

At the end of the 1950s, jazz – already present on the stages of Broadway – was enriched with new urban rhythms: Juliet was now called Maria, Romeo became Tony, and Leonard Bernstein set the Winter Garden Theater ablaze with his West Side Story which sounded like an explosion.

Here is a beautiful walk in American lands, punctuated by the moving evocation of Oskar Schindler or the colourful Mexico of Arturo Márquez!

For this concert, the Orchester Colonne welcomes in its ranks some musicians of the Ondes Plurielles orchestra, in an outstretched hand towards enlightened amateur practice.

And then… and then, our essential “Invitation to travel” will surprise you again. This time, no clues. Come with confidence!

Exultate Singers
Tim Harrison, conductor
David Ogden, conductor
James Gilchrist, tenor

Three of Bristol’s leading ensembles collaborate for an unforgettable concert in our transformed venue’s opening season, celebrating the 150th anniversary of Gustav Holst’s birth with a performance of one of the most famous of all orchestral works.

The Planets Suite brings to life the character of our galaxy through sound, each movement depicting a planet of our solar system. From the relentless march of war-like Mars to the sweeping and expansive theme that identifies Jupiter, the work ends sublimely with the orchestra accompanied by a wordless chorus of sopranos and altos spaced around the auditorium embracing the audience in the mystical sounds of Neptune.

First performed in Gloucester Cathedral in 1950, Intimations of Immortality by Gerald Finzi is a setting of a poem by William Wordsworth. The words passionately describe a heavenly vision of nature, expressing how the beauty and joy of the natural world can ignite memories of our childhood and make connections to our own souls and lives. Internationally renowned tenor James Gilchrist sings the solo in this rarely-performed masterpiece.

Completing the programme is Earth by TV and film composer Hans Zimmer. This piece is a celebration for choir and orchestra of the beautiful planet we live on. With his trademark sense of scale and drama, the composer perfectly captures the majesty and beauty of our home, as if seen from space.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Cirkus Krone Bau


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Cocteau Trilogy Philip Glass
Katia and Marielle Labèque, piano - Barbican Hall


Program Info:
Legendary sibling pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque present their recent collaboration with American minimalist composer Philip Glass: arrangements for two pianos of his Cocteau Trilogy.

In 2021, Katia and Marielle Labèque created instrumental suites for two pianos from Philip Glass’s opera Les Enfants Terribles, based on Jean Cocteau’s film. The result was so successful that they approached Glass to complete the set with the remaining two operas in the Cocteau Trilogy: Orphée and La Belle et la Bête. In a special collaboration with the Philharmonie de Paris, Katia and Marielle Labèque bring their ‘velveteen touch’ (Guardian) into a new dimension: suspended above the stage, a chandelier transports us to the intimate spaces within Cocteau’s stories, lighting up as it interacts with the music below.

‘The Labèque sisters are tremendous. They’re great performers, and great interpreters. And they’re wonderful supporters of music – not only modern music, but just music. It was great to work with them.’ – Philip Glass.

LGBTQ+ Pride and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra present SHINE
RTÉ Concert Orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell - National Concert Hall


Program Info:
The Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival in collaboration with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra present a performance to celebrate, commemorate, support and applaud the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland and beyond, promoting human rights, resilience to overcoming obstacles and creating what we now know as diversity and inclusivity.

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, with Dublin Pride Festival, are proud to mark this important 50th anniversary of the first Dublin Pride March. On June 27th, 1974, the Sexual Liberation Movement, a Dublin-based organisation that was founded in Trinity College Dublin in 1973, organised the first Gay Pride demonstration in Dublin.

In a sign of the growing international gay rights movement and the solidarity amongst those organisations, a decision had been taken in May 1974 at the annual congress of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, to dedicate Gay Pride Day 1974 to highlight the situation faced by homosexuals in Ireland and to offer their support to them. As a result, on the same day that the British Embassy and the Department of Justice were picketed, activists in Norway similarly picketed the British Embassy in Oslo carrying placards that stated, ‘Stop the Oppression of Irish Homosexuals’, and ,‘No to discrimination on the grounds of being different’, standing for the choice to love and live with the freedom of individual choices.

A sparkling evening of genre-filled music, including film scores, opera, and the best of national and international pop culture, performed by members of the community and allies, promises a thought-provoking journey and wonderful event with sing-along moments of pride, community and humanity. Put on your glad rags and get ready to shine!

Tribute to Ennio Morricone
Full Orchestra - Le Grand Rex


Program Info:
FOR A HANDFULL OF DOLLARS · FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE · THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY · CINEMA PARADISO · THE PROFESSIONAL · 1900 · THE SICILIAN CLAN · INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS · ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA · THE BITCHES EIGHT · THE THING · THE MISSION · THE INCORRUPTIBLES · MY NAME IS NOBODY · MISSION TO MARS · ONCE UPON A TIME THE REVOLUTION · DJANGO UNCHAINED · THE CITY OF JOY · ETC.

A cult composer for several generations of spectators, Ennio Morricone left his mark on his era. Composer, arranger, orchestrator and conductor of genius, he revolutionised the seventh art with classic genre cinema (western, horror, thriller), but also historical or dramatic, and goes so far as to sublimate current cinema with recent films by Quentin Tarantino.

60 years of career, more than 500 film scores and dozens of awards and nominations around the world, including a Grammy Hall of Fame and an Oscar of honour... Ennio Morricone is also Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur in France and Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit in Italy.

This tribute concert is produced with the utmost respect for the original works, with a selection of cult films, for the greatest respect to the Maestro who left us in July 2020 and who wanted more than anything that his music continues to to be performed on stages around the world.

LGBTQ+ Pride and the RTÉ Concert Orchestra present SHINE
RTÉ Concert Orchestra conducted by Stephen Bell - University Concert Hall


Program Info:
The Dublin LGBTQ+ Pride Festival in collaboration with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra present a performance to celebrate, commemorate, support and applaud the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland and beyond, promoting human rights, resilience to overcoming obstacles and creating what we now know as diversity and inclusivity.

The RTÉ Concert Orchestra, with Dublin Pride Festival, are proud to mark this important 50th anniversary of the first Dublin Pride March. On June 27th, 1974, the Sexual Liberation Movement, a Dublin-based organisation that was founded in Trinity College Dublin in 1973, organised the first Gay Pride demonstration in Dublin.

In a sign of the growing international gay rights movement and the solidarity amongst those organisations, a decision had been taken in May 1974 at the annual congress of the Campaign for Homosexual Equality, to dedicate Gay Pride Day 1974 to highlight the situation faced by homosexuals in Ireland and to offer their support to them. As a result, on the same day that the British Embassy and the Department of Justice were picketed, activists in Norway similarly picketed the British Embassy in Oslo carrying placards that stated, ‘Stop the Oppression of Irish Homosexuals’, and ,‘No to discrimination on the grounds of being different’, standing for the choice to love and live with the freedom of individual choices.

A sparkling evening of genre-filled music, including film scores, opera, and the best of national and international pop culture, performed by members of the community and allies, promises a thought-provoking journey and wonderful event with sing-along moments of pride, community and humanity. Put on your glad rags and get ready to shine!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Kufstein Festung


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar
The Dark Knight
Dunkirk
Inception
Earth
Da Vinci Code

Karl Bartos: The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Karl Bartos' (ex-Kraftwerk) - Barbican Hall

This concert has been canceled.


Program Info:
Karl Bartos - The Cabinet of Dr Caligari

Robert Wiene's classic 1920's psychological thriller is set to Karl Bartos' (ex-Kraftwerk) haunting narrative film music and sound design.

The original, long lost, orchestral soundtrack (Giuseppe Becce) has given way to an immersive listening experience. Special sound effects match the action as we enter the film as both spectator and participant. A creaking door, foot-steps on gravel, the turning of pages in a ledger, and a half-heard fragment of dialogue are seamlessly synchronised to the action on screen.

Composing on piano and computer, Bartos approached the task as would any earlier composer, painstakingly creating a score which was then electronically orchestrated with the help of his musical partner, sound engineer Mathias Black.

Beautifully restored by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Foundation, experience a screening of The Cabinet of Dr Caligari set to Bartos' live film score.

Marvel Studios's Black Panther - In Concert

Program Info:

After an electric sold-out debut in 2022, Chicago Philharmonic brings back Marvel Studios’ Black Panther in Concert.

Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.”

Relive the excitement of T’Challa becoming king and battling Killmonger all while the “one of the country’s finest symphonic orchestras” (Chicago Tribune) performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar® and Grammy®-winning score live to picture.

Joining the orchestra for the concert is Massamba Diop, the revered Senegalese tama drummer who recorded and co-created parts of the movie score with composer Göransson.

10. Philharmonic concert
Bergische Symphoniker conducted by Daniel Huppert - Theater und Konzerthaus, Großer Konzertsaal


Program Info:
John Adams created a masterpiece of feel-good music with his »Short ride in a fast machine«. According to the American composer, he had a frightening ride in his friend's Italian sports car in mind when he wrote the fast-paced, exuberant piece. Also a classic of American orchestral music, Gershwin's »Rhapsody in Blue« celebrates its 150th anniversary in 2024 - one more reason to bring the Broadway composer's fascinating work to the stage. Hollywood film music, on the other hand, touches on none other than Dmitri Shostakovich in this concert. His playful »Mosquito Suite« is reminiscent of the often forgotten, multifaceted film music work of the Russian sound creator.

John Coolidge Adams (1947) - Short Ride in a Fast Machine
George Gershwin (1898–1937) - Rhapsody in Blue

Film Music (Public dress rehearsal)
Štátna filharmónia Košice (Slovak State Philharmonic) conducted by Rastislav Štúr - Dom umenia


Program Info:
A film with music creates a wonderful symbiosis of image and sound and affects our emotions every time we allow ourselves to be willingly absorbed in this magical world. However, music for films dealing with space is a special chapter. Original scores from history's greatest space films create fascinating sound worlds that allow the listener to forget mundane reality and stimulate their imagination and emotions. Film music contains magical moments, and the orchestral suites from these films represent one of the essential artistic elements in the work. Original music thus accompanies incredible stories about encounters with extraterrestrial civilisations, space shuttles, time travel, distant planets and the future of humanity, but at the same time it also brings strong philosophical, ethical and humane messages that concern us here and now. The audience's cinema experience is changing to a purely auditory one, and the recipe for the success of film music is, in addition to using all the achievements of modernism and the digital era, also using the tradition of symphonic and romantic music.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Domplatz Blasien


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

What do the author of the famous waltz from Trędowata and Philip Glass, the master of American minimalism, have in common?

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Schloss Bruchsal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Program Info:
Marcel Barsotti - Das Wunder von Bern (The Miracle of Bern)
Directed by Soenke Wortmann

«Rahn shoots ... goal! Goal! Goal! Goal!" Germany's unexpected victory at the 1954 World Cup is considered "The Miracle of Bern". Director Sönke Wortmann combines the historic football event with the story of the return of a prisoner of war. He links the emergence of the football miracle with insights into the social and societal conditions in post-war Germany. We will show the sports film on an evening when there is no EM with the original soundtrack by Marcel Barsotti. And who knows, maybe there will be a Swiss miracle in Berlin at the 2024 European Championships.

Film Music: From Another Galaxy
Štátna filharmónia Košice (Slovak State Philharmonic) conducted by Rastislav Štúr - Dom umenia


Program Info:
A film with music creates a wonderful symbiosis of image and sound and affects our emotions every time we allow ourselves to be willingly absorbed in this magical world. However, music for films dealing with space is a special chapter. Original scores from history's greatest space films create fascinating sound worlds that allow the listener to forget mundane reality and stimulate their imagination and emotions. Film music contains magical moments, and the orchestral suites from these films represent one of the essential artistic elements in the work. Original music thus accompanies incredible stories about encounters with extraterrestrial civilisations, space shuttles, time travel, distant planets and the future of humanity, but at the same time it also brings strong philosophical, ethical and humane messages that concern us here and now. The audience's cinema experience is changing to a purely auditory one, and the recipe for the success of film music is, in addition to using all the achievements of modernism and the digital era, also using the tradition of symphonic and romantic music.

Film Favourites
The Yehudi Menuhin School Orchestra - St Jude on the Hill


Program Info:
This evening welcomes the orchestra of the Yehudi Menuhin School. This world-famous institution has been training young musicians since its inception in 1963, and many notable performers have come through its ranks. The ensemble is led tonight by school director Ashley Wass, a winner of the London International Piano Competition and a Naxos recording artist. Mr Wass will feature as soloist in Chopin’sPiano Concerto No 2, which in spite of its number was the first concerto he composed and is a virtuosic work of youthful inspiration set in flight by the emotions of first love. The rest of the programme is devoted to familiar film soundtracks, some specially composed and others co-opted for the purpose. Herrmann scored seven films for Alfred Hitchcock; his Psycho Suite is the most famous, in which he created what he called a ‘black and white sound’. Written for one of the most patriotic films of World War II, Walton’s music for Shakespeare’s Henry V was lauded by Laurence Olivier as ‘the most wonderful score I’ve ever heard on a film’. Mahler’s hauntingly beautiful Adagietto from Symphony No 5 was a soundtrack in A Death in Venice, and a version of Strauss’s highly popular Blue Danube Waltz was used by Stanley Kubrick in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Łukasz LUC Rostkowski - Chłopi

The music for the film "Chłopi" is created by Łukasz LUC Rostkowski, a young composer and producer, winner of many awards. His projects, combining music with history, have gained recognition, including: in cooperation with the Warsaw Uprising Museum, ECS, IPN, Pilecki Institute and many other institutions in Poland and around the world. Rostkowski creates a new form of multimedia historical lessons, combining art with education, music with comics and animations.

The soundtrack to the film "Chłopi" is based on traditional Polish sounds and authentic folk instruments. Just as Reymont used simple peasant language to create a colorful baroque verbal cathedral, Rostkowski strives to create beautiful film music based on authentic sounds of folk instruments, compositions and traditional themes. Modernity manifests itself only in thinking about forms and arrangements. The most important thing, however, is that this project is a unique compendium of the most interesting folk music phenomena, involving many musicians devoted to tradition, such as Maria Pomianowska, Laboratorium Pieśni, Sutari, Dagadana, Tęgie Chłopy, etc.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert
Orchestra Eletronics Turntables - Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall


Program Info:
Daniel Pemberton - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert

This masterpiece of film animation will be shown on a huge HD screen and will be accompanied by a unique fusion of live orchestra, turntables and percussion playing the music from the score and soundtrack.

After an eagerly anticipated and glowing sold-out world premiere at the historic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York in March, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert will head to venues across UK cities, calling at Edinburgh, York, Manchester, Glasgow, London’s Eventim Apollo, Sheffield, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham Cardiff and Bath.

Reaction to the world premiere was overwhelming, with audience members saying ‘I loved it even more watching it with an incredible live orchestra.’ and ‘One of the most incredible experiences I've had.’

The one-of-a-kind show is ground-breaking in replication of the film’s score and soundtrack, fusing elements of orchestral with turntables and live DJ, and electronics for a rare and bold live experience.

A Sony Pictures Animation film, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman and written by Phil Lord and Rothman, the movie introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

The music score for the box office hit was composed by Academy Award® nominee, multiple Golden Globe®-nominee and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs.

The hip-hop based film score contains original music, showcasing elements of heroism and resilience, all complemented by song contributions from industry greats Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith and Nicki Minaj.

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favourite scores I’ve ever written. Utilising a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things, it is so technically complex I never thought we’d ever be able to actually reproduce it in a live concert, but somehow, we have”, said Pemberton on the project.

Stummfilmkonzert: Modern Times
Dortmunder Philharmoniker conducted by Gabriel Feltz - Konzerthaus Dortmund


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - Modern Times

Charles Chaplin's Modern Times is a classic silent film that is still relevant today, uniquely balancing comedy, tragedy, bittersweet romance and horror. After an extensive restoration, the score could be brought into a version that could be performed live with an orchestra. In this form »Modern Times« comes to life in an unexpected way – far more than a movie.

In the film, which was made in 1936 after many years of preliminary work by Chaplin, the actor slips into his famous role as a clumsy, likeable tramp for the last time to accuse social misery and the automation of the world of work. The background of the film is the epoch of the "Great Depression" in the USA, which was dominated by mass unemployment and poverty in the wake of the stock market crash of 1929 and the global economic crisis. The plot first shows us Chaplin's tramp as an assembly line worker who is mistakenly imprisoned as a labour leader before falling in love, working as a waiter in a bar and finally together with his great love, embodied by Paulette Goddard, who Chaplin married shortly after filming finished uncertain future.

»Modern Times« balances in a unique way between comedy, tragedy, bittersweet romance and horror at the conditions. Numerous scenes and images from the film, such as Chaplin trapped between the cogs of a gigantic machine or the wheelchair ride in a deserted department store, repeatedly avoiding a fall by a hair's breadth, have entered the collective memory and have gained iconic status. The effect of the film is based to a very large extent on the precisely calculated interplay between the film images and the music, which was precisely imagined by Chaplin and recorded with the help of extremely professional studio musicians. In a painstaking detailed work that lasted 14 months, this film score was restored and brought into a version that can be performed live with an orchestra. In this form »Modern Times« comes to life in an unexpected way – far more than a movie.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Seebühne Elbauenpark


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

Program Info:
Paul Dukas’ La Péri is a 1912 ballet in one act and is about a man’s search for immortality and an encounter with a mythological Péri (a winged, fairy-like creature). The original music to the ballet was written in 1911 as a Poème Dansé En Un Tableau (Dance Poem in One Scene), and was Dukas’ last published work. The opening fanfare is often performed separately and is a fitting start to our concert.

Festivities, an orchestral overture by British composer Roy Douglas, was written 1972. Although having a large output of his own, Roy Douglas worked alongside Ralph Vaughan Williams, William Walton and Richard Adinsell as editor, copyist and amanuensis. his favourite recreation was motorcycling, travelling throughout England on a Triumph 200cc Tiger Cub until his doctor ordered him to stop after his 80th birthday

Roy Douglas also orchestrated Richard Adinsell’s music for the 1941 film Dangerous Moonlight, which contained the popular Warsaw Concerto. The story revolved around a Polish airman who was also a concert pianist. Addinsell wanted the Warsaw Concerto to sound like Rachmaninov, so while Douglas was working on the orchestration he surrounded himself with the miniature scores of the second and third piano concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Thomas Luke returns to delight the IWSO audience once more.

Ponchielli’s Dance of the Hours from La Gioconda and is structured in five parts, each representing a portion of the day: dawn, day, dusk, night and the return to morning. It was featured in the Walt Disney film Fantasia, where ostriches, hippos, elephants and alligators perform it as a comic ballet.

Walton’s Orb and Sceptre was composed for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. It has a similar form to Crown Imperial which in turn almost certainly influenced heavily by Elgar’s Pomp & Circumstance Marches. From the opening fanfare to the lyrical middle section and triumphant end this coronation march is everything a regal event requires.

Pam Wedgwood is one of the most recognisable names in educational music with her series Jazzin’ About, Up-Grade! and After Hours, from which many pieces have been selected for graded examinations all over the world. Pam now resides on the Isle of Wight where she is an active member of the community music scene. Her orchestral suite Three Card Trick will be receiving its premiere at this concert.

For some Richard Rodney Bennett was the composer for Four Weddings and a Funeral, for others he was one of the finest jazz pianists of our time. His Party Piece for piano and small orchestra is a delightful work which is very much steeped in jazz and blues and as the title suggests, a nice little number for the soloist to show their technical skills.

Billy the Kid is a one-act ballet drawn from the notorious semi-fictitious outlaw Henry McCarty, also known as Billy the Kid, as a romanticised emblem of the passions and dangers of the Wild West. The suite was first performed in New York in 1941. The music describes crowd scenes, card games (complete with an out-of-tune piano), gunfire, and some reflective moments.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Seestern-Panorama-Bühne


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Klausenhof


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

José María Sánchez-Verdú, director

José María Sánchez-Verdú - Nosferatu
Friedrich WILHELM MURNAU :
Nosferatu. A symphony of horror 1922

Murnau's vampire revisited
An unforgettable classic of horror cinema, the Nosferatu that Friedrich Wilheim Murnau filmed in 1922 is not only a monumental reference of the genre, but a masterpiece that perfectly defines one of the most creative periods of European filmography, which coincides with the called German Expressionism , of which Murnau is a leading figure. In 2002, the Teatro de la Zarzuela and the Community of Madrid Orchestra commissioned José María Sánchez-Verdú to write a score to accompany the film. The Andalusian composer wrote a work for choir and orchestra, which includes some unusual instruments, such as the sax or the accordion. It was premiered by José Ramón Encinar in front of the groups of the Madrid community at the Teatro de la Zarzuela on April 26, 2003, with a success that twenty years later continues to be repeated every time it is offered.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Freilichtbühne Burg Wilhelmstein


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Hutbergbühne Kamenz


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Intimate and intricate
Musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra - Sydney Opera House, Utzon Room


Program Info:
The writing is anything but juvenile, richly textured and deceptively complex, bursting with enthusiasm and virtuosity.

Maurice Ravel wrote his gripping Sonata for Violin and Cello in 1920, and dedicated it to the memory of his friend and colleague, Claude Debussy. There are moments of glowing textures that recall Debussy, and the incredibly detailed and intricate interplay of the two instruments is trademark Ravel. This enchanting duet is a thrilling musical adventure.

Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla brought the sounds and rhythms of Argentinian tango into the concert hall, creating a new blend of tango, jazz and classical music known as nuevo tango (new tango). These pieces are among his finest and showcase the expressive richness and sophisticated harmonies that are so characteristic of his writing.

Program
Leoš Janáček - Mládí
Maurice Ravel - Sonata for Violin and Cello
Astor Piazzolla - Libertango
Astor Piazzolla - Oblivion, composed in 1984 for the movie Henry IV (Enrico IV) by the Italian director Marco Bellocchio
Astor Piazzolla - La Meurte del Angel

Amadeus Live: screening of a film by Miloš Forman
Choir and Orchestra of the Wrocław Opera conducted by Dawid Runtz - Hala Stulecia (Centennial Hall)


Program Info:
On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the premiere of Amadeus , the Choir and Orchestra of the Wrocław Opera will perform live music for the film, which will be displayed on a large screen in HD quality. We will hear the most famous pieces by Mozart, and the orchestra and choir will be led by Dawid Runtz. The evening at the Centennial Hall is a tribute to the famous work, which tells the story of the clash between two composers: a joyful, vulgar genius (Tom Hulce as Mozart) and a haughty, talentless envious (Oscar winner F. Murray Abraham as Salieri). Amadeus will seduce not only music lovers and lovers of classical music, but also all viewers who love cinema and want to participate in a unique celebration of one of the most recognised films of the 20th century. Wrocław thus joins the elite group of cities (including Tokyo, Toronto, Seoul, Paris) participating in the Amadeus Live project . The world premiere of Forman's film with live music took place in 2016 at London's Royal Albert Hall.

The event takes place as part of the 24th mBank New Horizons IFF.

Intimate and intricate
Musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra - Sydney Opera House, Utzon Room


Program Info:
The writing is anything but juvenile, richly textured and deceptively complex, bursting with enthusiasm and virtuosity.

Maurice Ravel wrote his gripping Sonata for Violin and Cello in 1920, and dedicated it to the memory of his friend and colleague, Claude Debussy. There are moments of glowing textures that recall Debussy, and the incredibly detailed and intricate interplay of the two instruments is trademark Ravel. This enchanting duet is a thrilling musical adventure.

Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla brought the sounds and rhythms of Argentinian tango into the concert hall, creating a new blend of tango, jazz and classical music known as nuevo tango (new tango). These pieces are among his finest and showcase the expressive richness and sophisticated harmonies that are so characteristic of his writing.

Program
Leoš Janáček - Mládí
Maurice Ravel - Sonata for Violin and Cello
Astor Piazzolla - Libertango
Astor Piazzolla - Oblivion, composed in 1984 for the movie Henry IV (Enrico IV) by the Italian director Marco Bellocchio
Astor Piazzolla - La Meurte del Angel

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Kasemattenbühne


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Program Info:
Basil Sinfonietta
Titus Engel, conductor
Nik Bärtsch's Mobile: Nik Bärtsch, piano; Sha, alto saxophone and bass clarinet; Nicolas Stocker, drums and percussion
Daniel Eaton, Lighting Design

The Swiss pianist and composer Nik Bärtsch dispenses with virtuoso capers in his music, which is characterized by rituals, reduction and the appeal of repetition. He draws inspiration from an understanding of time that stems from Zen Buddhism. With his formations, Nik Bärtsch has created a completely unique style of music somewhere between jazz, funk and minimal music.

While he has been appearing with his zen funk group Ronin every Monday at Club Exil in Zurich for almost 15 years and touring through Asia, Europe, North America and Africa, he practices with his acoustic formation Mobile a meditative, tonally and rhythmically highly idiosyncratic «ritual Groove Music», which is now combined for the first time with a large orchestra in his new work, commissioned by the Basel Sinfonietta.

The Icelandic composer and cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir has already won numerous Grammys, Emmys and an Oscar for her film music for the American thriller blockbuster "Joker". Most recently, she caused a sensation with her soundtrack to the Oscar-nominated drama "Tár" about a star conductor and a concertmaster of a large Berlin orchestra (with Cate Blanchett and Nina Hoss as the musician couple).

In the first part of this concert evening, the Basel Sinfonietta presents music by Hildur Guðnadóttir from different creative periods: “Ascent” and “Opaque” from her early concept album “Without Sinking” and “Baer” from the album “Saman”. And as a special highlight, the piece "For Petra" from the current feature film "Tár".

Hildur Guðnadóttir (*1982) - Ascent for orchestra (2009)
Hildur Guðnadóttir (*1982) - Opaque for string orchestra (2009)
Hildur Guðnadóttir (*1982) - Baer for cello and string orchestra (2014)

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Maierhof im Kloster Benediktbeuern


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Charles Chaplin - The Goldrush

Act and appearance, reality and dream, action and poetry: With the silent film "Gold Rush" in 1924, Charlie Chaplin became world famous almost overnight.

Alaska in 1898: staked out by gold fever, the vagabond Charlie is looking for his luck. What follows are countless disappointments, dangers and hardships. Charlie also has to assert himself against the rough manners of the other gold diggers. His unswerving adherence to hope and his unshakeable belief in goodness are rewarded in the end: not only in the form of gold, but also in the form of a beautiful singer. A triumph of love. The music is no less effective: it is played live by the GKO. An intoxicating feast for the senses!

Help comes when the evil vizier, Jafar, plots to get a magic lamp for his own rise to power and decides he needs Aladdin, a true “diamond in the rough,” to seek the lamp in the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin and his friend, the monkey Abu, gain the lamp and the wise-cracking Genie (Robin Williams) inside for themselves.

The great soundtracks of John Williams
Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana conducted by Antonino Manuli - Colle San Vito - Ciminna


Program Info:
Sicilian Symphony Orchestra
Antonino Manuli, conductor
Ciminna - St. Vincent's College

Winner of five Oscars for best soundtrack, with the adaptation of the musical Fiddler on the Roof (1971), with Jaws (1975), Star Wars (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Schindler's List (1993) , John Williams is certainly one of the most famous composers of film music. Among his successes there is certainly the soundtrack to the film ET the Extra-Terrestrial , a film by Steven Spielberg, released in theatres in June 1982 on which the American film critic Roger Ebert expressed himself thus: «This is not simply a good movie. It's one of those films that sweeps away our fears and wins our hearts." The composition of the soundtrack was not, however, easy for Williams who, with this music, won the fourth of his five Oscars. Williams, in fact, in addition to having to write the music for some scenes that he did not have the opportunity to see or that he saw in a provisional form without special effects and sounds, had to make an objectively ugly being like ET sympathetic with his musical comments. The scene in which he found the most difficulty was certainly the final sequence, for which Spielberg left Williams free to write it as he saw fit, deciding to re-edit it all at the end so that he could match the music. The suite, The adventures on Earth collects some of the most significant pages of the soundtrack, from those of greatest impact to others of more intense lyricism.

Also by Steven Spielberg is Jurassic Park , released in cinemas in 1993, for which Williams wrote a soundtrack that was supposed to express sensations such as amazement and fascination at the presence of dinosaurs seen in person. Opened by a horn solo, the Theme is a page of intense lyricism.

Released in 2001, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first instalment of the Harry Potter film series, whose soundtrack was composed by John Williams in his homes in Los Angeles and Tanglewood. Of this soundtrack it will be proposed to listen to 's theme , Hedwig the main theme of all the films in the series, whose characteristic is the use of the celesta that initially exposes it, and Harry's Wondrous World ( The marvellous Harry's World ), where the world of the famous wizard is described by means of a rich orchestral palette.

soundtrack with the following words: of the Schindler's List The composer himself recalls its genesis

“During the summer of 1993, it was my great privilege to compose the music for Steven Spielberg's outstanding film, Schindler's List . The ennobling plot of the film, set in the midst of the immense tragedy of the Holocaust, provided the opportunity to create not only dramatic music, but also themes that reflected the most tender and nostalgic aspects of Jewish life during these turbulent years.

For this part of the score I gave the lead to a solo violin, accompanied by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and our greatest fortune was to have Itzhak Perlman as soloist for the recording."

From the soundtrack of the famous film, inspired by the novel by Thomas Keneally based on the true story of Oscar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who saved 1100 Jews during the Second World War, we propose listening to the very tender and sweet initial theme .

The concert ends with the suite from the Star Wars soundtrack in which , initially, George Lucas, the father of the saga, made up of six films, gathered together in a double trilogy and produced between 1977 and 2005, he intended to include operatic music consisting of famous songs on the model of 2001 A Space Odyssey . Only later, at the suggestion of his friend and colleague Steven Spielberg, did the American director decide to entrust the task of composing the music to Williams who made use of Leitmotifs to characterise characters and situations. Among the most famous songs we must remember the Main Theme which opens all the films of the saga and The imperial March , also called Darth Vader's Theme because it underlines his appearances.
Riccardo Viagrande

The great soundtracks of John Williams
Orchestra Sinfonica Siciliana conducted by Antonino Manuli - Colle San Vito - Ciminna


Program Info:
Sicilian Symphony Orchestra
Antonino Manuli, conductor
Ciminna - St. Vincent's College

Winner of five Oscars for best soundtrack, with the adaptation of the musical Fiddler on the Roof (1971), with Jaws (1975), Star Wars (1977), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) and Schindler's List (1993) , John Williams is certainly one of the most famous composers of film music. Among his successes there is certainly the soundtrack to the film ET the Extra-Terrestrial , a film by Steven Spielberg, released in theatres in June 1982 on which the American film critic Roger Ebert expressed himself thus: «This is not simply a good movie. It's one of those films that sweeps away our fears and wins our hearts." The composition of the soundtrack was not, however, easy for Williams who, with this music, won the fourth of his five Oscars. Williams, in fact, in addition to having to write the music for some scenes that he did not have the opportunity to see or that he saw in a provisional form without special effects and sounds, had to make an objectively ugly being like ET sympathetic with his musical comments. The scene in which he found the most difficulty was certainly the final sequence, for which Spielberg left Williams free to write it as he saw fit, deciding to re-edit it all at the end so that he could match the music. The suite, The adventures on Earth collects some of the most significant pages of the soundtrack, from those of greatest impact to others of more intense lyricism.

Also by Steven Spielberg is Jurassic Park , released in cinemas in 1993, for which Williams wrote a soundtrack that was supposed to express sensations such as amazement and fascination at the presence of dinosaurs seen in person. Opened by a horn solo, the Theme is a page of intense lyricism.

Released in 2001, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the first instalment of the Harry Potter film series, whose soundtrack was composed by John Williams in his homes in Los Angeles and Tanglewood. Of this soundtrack it will be proposed to listen to 's theme , Hedwig the main theme of all the films in the series, whose characteristic is the use of the celesta that initially exposes it, and Harry's Wondrous World ( The marvellous Harry's World ), where the world of the famous wizard is described by means of a rich orchestral palette.

soundtrack with the following words: of the Schindler's List The composer himself recalls its genesis

“During the summer of 1993, it was my great privilege to compose the music for Steven Spielberg's outstanding film, Schindler's List . The ennobling plot of the film, set in the midst of the immense tragedy of the Holocaust, provided the opportunity to create not only dramatic music, but also themes that reflected the most tender and nostalgic aspects of Jewish life during these turbulent years.

For this part of the score I gave the lead to a solo violin, accompanied by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and our greatest fortune was to have Itzhak Perlman as soloist for the recording."

From the soundtrack of the famous film, inspired by the novel by Thomas Keneally based on the true story of Oscar Schindler, a German entrepreneur who saved 1100 Jews during the Second World War, we propose listening to the very tender and sweet initial theme .

The concert ends with the suite from the Star Wars soundtrack in which , initially, George Lucas, the father of the saga, made up of six films, gathered together in a double trilogy and produced between 1977 and 2005, he intended to include operatic music consisting of famous songs on the model of 2001 A Space Odyssey . Only later, at the suggestion of his friend and colleague Steven Spielberg, did the American director decide to entrust the task of composing the music to Williams who made use of Leitmotifs to characterise characters and situations. Among the most famous songs we must remember the Main Theme which opens all the films of the saga and The imperial March , also called Darth Vader's Theme because it underlines his appearances.

The Kid
Orchestre national de Cannes conducted by Benjamin Levy - Palais des Festivals et des Congrès


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - The Kid

Charlie Chaplin's The Kid and his sequences, which have been part of the collective imagination for a century now, will be screened at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. Enhanced with the original soundtrack that the Cannes Orchestra will bring to life on the eve of the end-of-year celebrations.
Treat yourself to an evening with the family and (re)immerse yourself in the tragicomic world of this immense masterpiece of silent cinema.

The tone of the film is established by the first title: “A film with a smile… and perhaps also, a tear”, while another announces the story “The woman whose sin is to be a mother”.

A destitute woman abandons her infant in a luxurious car asking the person who finds it to take care of this child. But the car is stolen by two thugs who separate from it a few streets further. Charlot, a poor glazier passing by, discovers the baby, tries to get rid of this new, unwanted responsibility, but becomes attached to him. He is not at the end of his troubles...

In 1971, 50 years after the film's release, Charlie Chaplin designed the score for The Kid which covers the entire duration of the film. Chaplin partners with composers for the orchestration of his melodic ideas. There are nods to jazz, but also touches of waltz and forays into cabaret, so many different atmospheres to match the emotions released by the images.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Burgarena Finkenstein


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar
The Dark Knight
Dunkirk
Inception
Earth
Da Vinci Code
Man of Steel
Spider-Man

Ennio Morricone:

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Bach Festival Symphony, Choir, and youth choir - Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts


Program Info:
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Composer Howard Shore brings J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid life with his Academy®- and Grammy® Award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore’s music expresses Peter Jackson’s film as an immense symphonic work—a uniquely developed vision drawn from centuries of stylistic tendencies.

The music of The Lord of the Rings is counted among film music’s most complex and comprehensive works. This unique performance sets the score to the film, but allows the music to bear the narrative weight, creating a wholly new and dramatic live concert experience.

Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas and grand journeys, but also echoes the very construction of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Styles, instruments and performers collected from around the world provide each of Tolkien’s cultures with a unique musical imprint. In operatic fashion, these musical worlds commingle, sometimes combining forces for a culminated power, other times violently clashing…and always bending to the will of the One Ring and its own ominous family of themes.

Disney in Concert - The Jungle Book
The Novello Orchestra - New Wimbledon Theatre


Program Info:
George Bruns - The Jungle Book

The Jungle Book features lively score cues and music from Oscar and GRAMMY-nominated composer George Bruns, along with song favourites “The Bare Necessities” and “I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)” by Oscar-nominated songwriter Terry Gilkyson and the Oscar and GRAMMY-winning songwriting duo, brothers Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman.

Released in 1967, The Jungle Book is the last film produced by Walt Disney. The animated musical classic is based on Rudyard Kipling’s novel of the same name and follows the story of Mowgli, a “man-cub” found in the jungle as an infant and raised by wolves, who is later guided by his wise protector, Bagheera the panther, on a journey to find a human village. Though he resists leaving the only home he’s ever known, along the way Mowgli befriends happy-go-luck Baloo the bear and encounters many colourful characters, including King Louie the orangutan leader of the monkeys, Kaa the trickster python, the ruthless tiger Shere Khan and the noble Colonel Hathi of the elephant patrol. “The Jungle Book” is a heartwarming tale that celebrates the true meaning of friendship. The film features the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, Sterling Holloway, J. Pat O’Malley and Bruce Reitherman.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Bach Festival Symphony, Choir, and youth choir - Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts


Program Info:
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Composer Howard Shore brings J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid life with his Academy®- and Grammy® Award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore’s music expresses Peter Jackson’s film as an immense symphonic work—a uniquely developed vision drawn from centuries of stylistic tendencies.

The music of The Lord of the Rings is counted among film music’s most complex and comprehensive works. This unique performance sets the score to the film, but allows the music to bear the narrative weight, creating a wholly new and dramatic live concert experience.

Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas and grand journeys, but also echoes the very construction of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. Styles, instruments and performers collected from around the world provide each of Tolkien’s cultures with a unique musical imprint. In operatic fashion, these musical worlds commingle, sometimes combining forces for a culminated power, other times violently clashing…and always bending to the will of the One Ring and its own ominous family of themes.

Fairytales & Broomsticks: Harry Potter, Hänsel & Gretel and more
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by André de Ridder - Michael Fowler Centre


Program Info:
Bring the kids on a trip to Fairyland with the NZSO! André de Ridder will work his magic over this entertaining musical romp for the whole family.

Hansel and Gretel, two intrepid child adventurers who encounter a candy house and a wicked witch, are immortalised in music by two different composers. New Zealander Claire Cowan wrote the music to RNZB’s hugely successful Hansel and Gretel ballet, while German composer Engelbert Humperdinck wrote his own blockbuster based on the same fairytale, the 1893 opera Hänsel und Gretel. While their music describes the plucky children, Dvořak’s tone poem The Noonday Witch describes – you guessed it – a terrifying witch. But John Williams’s score for the Harry Potter films reveals a world of friendly witches and wizards, ready to sweep you away on a magical adventure.

Claire Cowan Selection from Hansel and Gretel

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Burg Trausnitz


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Lucerne Festival: Opening
European Union Youth Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda - KKL


Program Info:
European Union Youth Orchestra
Gianandrea Noseda, conductor
Nicolas Altstaedt, cello

The European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) has been bringing together the best young talent from all EU member states for almost 50 years. Its 120 or so members are between 16 and 26 years old and are selected from a huge number of applicants every year. Most of them go on to pursue a professional career, and there is hardly a European orchestra that does not include former EUYO graduates. Benjamin Britten’s Young Person’s Guide serves as a kind of introduction to the current class, taking us through the orchestra and introducing us to each of the instrument groups — an entertaining entry point to the world of classical music (and not only for young listeners). Richard Strauss meanwhile translates the adventures of Don Quixote (represented by the solo cellist) into music in remarkably vivid ways. During the fight with the herd of sheep, the woodwinds are heard to bleat cheerfully, while a wind machine is used to depict the sorrowful knight’s ride through the air. But this youth orchestra also has music by a young composer in its repertoire: an effective piece by US composer Carlos Simon from 2020, which features powerful brass interjections and a voluptuous cello melody.

Carlos Simon (*1986) - Fate Now Conquers for orchestra
Benjamin Britten (1913–1976) - The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34: composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonrise Kingdom
Richard Strauss (1864–1949) - Don Quixote, Op. 35

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Waffenplatz


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Edinburgh International Festival: Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra
European Union Youth Orchestra conducted by Gianandrea Noseda - Usher Hall


Program Info:
Benjamin Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra is an expedition through the instrumental families of the orchestra, illustrating their different sounds and capabilities. Its light-hearted dissection of the grand ensemble continues to engross music newcomers and aficionados alike.

The compositional roots of The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra date back to the 17th century, with Henry Purcell’s incidental music for a tragic play called Abdelazer. While Abdelazer has long disappeared from our stages, The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra became a twentieth-century classroom staple.

Led by conductor Gianandrea Noseda and played by the young musical marvels of the European Union Youth Orchestra, Britten’s vision for high-quality music education comes to life in front of you. Find a beanbag, kick back, and hear the orchestra at its fullest power.

Benjamin Britten - The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, opus 34: composed in 1946 to accompany an educational film produced by the British government and featured in the Oscar-nominated film Moonrise Kingdom

Fairytales & Broomsticks: Harry Potter, Hänsel & Gretel and more
New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by André de Ridder - Auckland Town Hall


Program Info:
Bring the kids on a trip to Fairyland with the NZSO! André de Ridder will work his magic over this entertaining musical romp for the whole family.

Hansel and Gretel, two intrepid child adventurers who encounter a candy house and a wicked witch, are immortalised in music by two different composers. New Zealander Claire Cowan wrote the music to RNZB’s hugely successful Hansel and Gretel ballet, while German composer Engelbert Humperdinck wrote his own blockbuster based on the same fairytale, the 1893 opera Hänsel und Gretel. While their music describes the plucky children, Dvořak’s tone poem The Noonday Witch describes – you guessed it – a terrifying witch. But John Williams’s score for the Harry Potter films reveals a world of friendly witches and wizards, ready to sweep you away on a magical adventure.

Claire Cowan Selection from Hansel and Gretel

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Schlosshof Wittenberg


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Hans Zimmer (film music concert)
Stavanger Symphony Orchestra conducted by Omer Shteinhart - Stavanger Konserthus


Program Info:
Pirates of the Caribbean. Inception. The Lion King. The Holiday. Movies you remember the music from, no matter how long it's been since you saw them. For 35 years, Hans Zimmer has left a big mark on film music, and is considered one of the greatest film music composers of all time. Welcome to a concert dedicated to film music by the legendary composer.

After his breakthrough with "Rain Man" in 1988, he has composed for over 200 films and TV series. Despite minimal formal music education, he has established himself as one of film history's significant figures.

In the 80s he founded a studio, with a vision of combining traditional orchestral sound with electronic instruments, an approach that still characterizes much of his music.

After the success of "Rain Man," Hans Zimmer's name was linked to several major films, including "On a Walk with Miss Daisy." Although both films won the Oscar for Best Picture, it was not until the animated film "The Lion King" from 1994 that Zimmer won his first Oscar for Best Original Score, as well as a Golden Globe and two Grammy Awards.

Zimmer has continued to be a central figure in Hollywood, with contributions to iconic films such as “Gladiator,” “Black Hawk Down,” “The Da Vinci Code,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Inception,” and “The Dark Knight ” trilogy. In 2021, his music for the blockbuster film "Dune" was awarded his second Oscar and third Golden Globe.

Credited in 200 films according to IMDb, twelve Oscar nominations, three Golden Globe wins and four Grammy Awards, Hans Zimmer has cemented his position as one of the premier film score composers, alongside legends such as John Williams and Ennio Morricone. At 66 years of age, he shows no signs of slowing down.

This evening it is the music that gets full attention, so the concert will be played without a film on the screen.

Program:
Klaus Badelt/Hans Zimmer - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (arr. Gottfried Rabl)
Hans Zimmer - On Tour with Miss Daisy (arr. Nic Raine)
Hans Zimmer - And then I Kissed Him, fra Pearl Harbor (arr. Alex Johnsson)

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Freilichtbühne Schlossgarten


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Program Info:
James Bond tribute Band - Q The Music Show
Warren Ringham, conductor
Caroline Bliss, guest compere

The James Bond Concert Spectacular is widely regarded across the world as the best tribute to the music of James Bond that has been produced.

Formed in 2004 as the world’s first dedicated tribute to the music of 007, they have gone on to establish themselves amongst every Bond fan club around the world as the finest performances of the songs since the originals. Their stirring emotional and adrenaline-fueled performances, mixed in with superb musicianship and flair have been met by critical acclaim wherever they have gone.

In 2017 they were asked to perform at Sir Roger Moore’s official memorial event at Pinewood Studios for British film and TV industry stars including Sir Michael Caine, Dame Joan Collins and David Walliams. In 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby, the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps.

The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better, performed with the most authentic and dedicated arrangements to the originals ever heard, but with such passion, enthusiasm and flair: you can’t help but be wowed.

The cast are taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, combined with a former Bond girl compering. Caroline Bliss, who played Moneypenny in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, will guide you through the concert sharing the odd anecdote about her time working in this legendary series.

With stunning singing, exquisite musicianship, an informative compere, and a show full of iconic tunes, it really is a night guaranteed of the highest quality. Don’t miss it.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Open Air Historische Altstadt Kulmbach


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Myrskyluoto Maija film concert
Vantaan Pops Orchestra - Turku Concert Hall


Program Info:
Lauri Porra - Myrskyluoto's Maija

An additional performance of the highly popular Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra's Myrskyluoto Maija movie concert!

The tragic love story set in the barren outer archipelago comes to life when the film Myrskyluoto's Maija, which premieres in January, is shown on the big screens of the Musiikkitalo in its entirety, accompanied by the large symphony orchestra ensemble of the Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra.

The novelty film, which contains great emotions and a lot of love, was directed by Tiina Lymi and is based on the Myrskyluoto book series by author Anni Blomqvist. The lead roles in this film, set in an outer archipelago and full of emotions, are played by Swedish actors Amanda Jansson and Linus Troedsson. The film is produced by Solar Films.

A film concert (in English Cine Concert or Film Concert) is a concert form that has found a solid foothold in the world. The Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra has also performed film concerts in the past, e.g. From the movies Harry Potter, Star Wars, Snowman and Metsä tarina. Now we are looking forward to a new domestic film, of which we have also managed to produce a concert version. The film concert does not compete with the film shown in the cinema, but two different versions of the story are now available, both of which are worth experiencing.

The music for the new Myrskyluoto Maija movie was composed by Lauri Porra. The iconic theme song composed by Lasse Mårtenson from the 1976 Myrskyluoto Maija television series will also be heard at the concert.

The duration of the film is 2 h 43 min, without intermission.

Soundtrack Festival Podebrady - Karel Svoboda: Film Music
Chamber Philharmonic of Pardubice conducted by Kryštof Marek - Poděbrady castle, Soundtrack Stage


Program Info:
On Saturday, Soundtrack will host a concert in honour of the great not only of film music – Karel Svoboda. Melodies from the films Noc na Karlštejn, Three Nuts for Cinderella , the series Cirkus Humberto, Visitors, Flying Chestmír and many others will be heard. Musical accompaniment will be provided by the Chamber Philharmonic of Pardubice under the direction of conductor Kryštof Marek.

Karel Svoboda (1938-2007) played the piano since childhood, after graduation he started studying medicine, where he played with the Dixieland of Medics, then he interrupted his studies and started playing professionally in cafes and various orchestras, in 1962 he founded his own instrumental group Mefisto. In 1965, he got a job as a musician at the Rokoko Theater, where he soon began to apply himself as an inventive composer. Over time, he developed into the most successful composer of our popular music, his creative melodies were characterised by ingeniously simple musical motifs and strong choruses.

In the following years, Svoboda composed film and television melodies for various genres, most notably the musical Romance for a Crown (1975), where Svoboda's songs were sung by Karel Gott, Helena Vondráčková and Jiří Schelinger. Jiří Schelinger also sang the title song for the popular comedy COŽ TAKHLE DÁT SI SPENÁT (1977), Helena Vondráčková then sang in the fairy tale JAK SE BUDÍ PRINCEZNY (1977). Meanwhile, Karel Svoboda celebrated extraordinary success in Germany with the theme song for the animated series VČELKA MÁJA (1976). The approached Karel Gott was initially reluctant to sing the song for the children's series, but in the end he is successful with it in Germany to this day, later he sang the Czech version as well as some other foreign language versions. Also in the following years, Svoboda often composed in Germany, and his music can be heard in a number of German films and series, his song Two Hearts for the series BIG MAN was sung by Suzi Quatro. In the 1980s, Svoboda began to compose more for television series, his inventive music was an important component in, for example, the series VISITORS (1984), CRIMINAL ADVENTURES (1989), and last but not least, HUMBERTO'S CIRCUS (1988), from which he chose two melodic motifs for Karel Gott singing again. He also continued to compose for fairy tales, for example the Slovak fairy tale SŮL NAD ZLATO (1982), and more recently Z PEKLA ŠTĚSTÍ (1999), where the song of the same name was sung by Karel Gott; it was one of the last acts of their collaboration. Karel Svoboda's last work was the music for the movie LOVERS AND MURDERERS (2004; singing by Leona Machálková) and the TV series RODINÁ POUTA (2005; singing by Bohuš Matuš).

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert
Orchestra Eletronics Turntables - Bridgewater Hall


Program Info:
Daniel Pemberton - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert

This masterpiece of film animation will be shown on a huge HD screen and will be accompanied by a unique fusion of live orchestra, turntables and percussion playing the music from the score and soundtrack.

After an eagerly anticipated and glowing sold-out world premiere at the historic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York in March, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert will head to venues across UK cities, calling at Edinburgh, York, Manchester, Glasgow, London’s Eventim Apollo, Sheffield, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham Cardiff and Bath.

Reaction to the world premiere was overwhelming, with audience members saying ‘I loved it even more watching it with an incredible live orchestra.’ and ‘One of the most incredible experiences I've had.’

The one-of-a-kind show is ground-breaking in replication of the film’s score and soundtrack, fusing elements of orchestral with turntables and live DJ, and electronics for a rare and bold live experience.

A Sony Pictures Animation film, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman and written by Phil Lord and Rothman, the movie introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

The music score for the box office hit was composed by Academy Award® nominee, multiple Golden Globe®-nominee and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs.

The hip-hop based film score contains original music, showcasing elements of heroism and resilience, all complemented by song contributions from industry greats Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith and Nicki Minaj.

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favourite scores I’ve ever written. Utilising a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things, it is so technically complex I never thought we’d ever be able to actually reproduce it in a live concert, but somehow, we have”, said Pemberton on the project.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Luisenburg-Festspiele


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The James Bond Concert Spectacular
Q The Music Show conducted by Warren Ringham - Cheltenham Town Hall, Imperial Square


Program Info:
Q The Music’s James Bond Concert Spectacular is the world’s most critically acclaimed tribute to the music of James Bond.

Formed in 2004 as the world’s first dedicated tribute to the music of 007, they have become known for their stirring emotional and adrenaline-fueled performances, mixed in with superb musicianship and flair. Every Bond fan club around the world recognizes them as the finest performances of the songs since the originals.

Some of the most notable praise has come from hugely influential Bond related stars including:

Bond Composer David Arnold: “They do a phenomenal job”

Former James Bond George Lazenby: “They did John Barry proud”

Sir Roger Moore’s Office (following his Memorial): “They helped make a wonderful day an extraordinary day”

Steven Saltzman (son of legendary Bond producer Harry Saltzman): “You did my Dad proud”

Even The Times national newspaper raved about their performance in a 4-star review of their West End debut: “It’s hard to imagine this music being served better. Simply stunning.”

The show has become synonymous with top events around the world when it comes to James Bond. In 2017 they were asked to perform at Sir Roger Moore’s official memorial event at Pinewood Studios. In 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby: the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps.

The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better performed by musicians taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, sessions and shows. Caroline Bliss, who played Moneypenny in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, will guide you through the concert as compere, sharing the odd anecdote about her time working in this legendary series.

With stunning singing, exquisite musicianship, an informative compere, and a show full of iconic tunes, it really is a night guaranteed of the highest quality. Don’t miss it.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert
Orchestra Eletronics Turntables - Sheffield City Hall


Program Info:
Daniel Pemberton - Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse in Concert

This masterpiece of film animation will be shown on a huge HD screen and will be accompanied by a unique fusion of live orchestra, turntables and percussion playing the music from the score and soundtrack.

After an eagerly anticipated and glowing sold-out world premiere at the historic Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York in March, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Live in Concert will head to venues across UK cities, calling at Edinburgh, York, Manchester, Glasgow, London’s Eventim Apollo, Sheffield, Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham Cardiff and Bath.

Reaction to the world premiere was overwhelming, with audience members saying ‘I loved it even more watching it with an incredible live orchestra.’ and ‘One of the most incredible experiences I've had.’

The one-of-a-kind show is ground-breaking in replication of the film’s score and soundtrack, fusing elements of orchestral with turntables and live DJ, and electronics for a rare and bold live experience.

A Sony Pictures Animation film, directed by Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman and written by Phil Lord and Rothman, the movie introduces Brooklyn teen Miles Morales, and the limitless possibilities of the Spider-Verse, where more than one can wear the mask.

The music score for the box office hit was composed by Academy Award® nominee, multiple Golden Globe®-nominee and Emmy-winning composer Daniel Pemberton, known for his work on movies such as The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Oceans 8, Enola Holmes, The Bad Guys and Steve Jobs.

The hip-hop based film score contains original music, showcasing elements of heroism and resilience, all complemented by song contributions from industry greats Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith and Nicki Minaj.

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favourite scores I’ve ever written. Utilising a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things, it is so technically complex I never thought we’d ever be able to actually reproduce it in a live concert, but somehow, we have”, said Pemberton on the project.

Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra

Louis Schwizgebel, piano

Three French composers, and a Japanese one for whom French music was a significant inspiration. Tōru Takemitsu, filmmaker Kurosawa’s favourite composer, wrote film music as visionary and powerful as his concert music.

Ravel’s homage to his Baroque predecessor seems ageless, but its cool façade conceals quiet sadness. So too does Poulenc’s marvellous Sinfonietta, witty music shot through with wistful shards.

Rather less complexity in Saint-Saëns’ concerto, which is all about a pianist giving us a display of utterly astonishing virtuosity. Sparkling Swiss pianist Louis Schwizgebel obliges, with Takemitsu’s compatriot Nodoka Okisawa conducting the Auckland Philharmonia in repertoire she has made her own.

Maurice Ravel - Le Tombeau de Couperin
Camille Saint-Saëns - Piano Concerto No.2
Toru Takemitsu - Three Film Scores for String Orchestra: Music of Training and Rest (from José Torres); Funeral Music (from Black Rain); Waltz (from Face of Another)
Francis Poulenc - Sinfonietta

Myrskyluoto Maija film concert
Vantaan Pops Orchestra - Helsinki Music Centre, Musiikkitalo Concert Hal


Program Info:
Lauri Porra - Myrskyluoto's Maija

An additional performance of the highly popular Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra's Myrskyluoto Maija movie concert!

The tragic love story set in the barren outer archipelago comes to life when the film Myrskyluoto's Maija, which premieres in January, is shown on the big screens of the Musiikkitalo in its entirety, accompanied by the large symphony orchestra ensemble of the Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra.

The novelty film, which contains great emotions and a lot of love, was directed by Tiina Lymi and is based on the Myrskyluoto book series by author Anni Blomqvist. The lead roles in this film, set in an outer archipelago and full of emotions, are played by Swedish actors Amanda Jansson and Linus Troedsson. The film is produced by Solar Films.

A film concert (in English Cine Concert or Film Concert) is a concert form that has found a solid foothold in the world. The Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra has also performed film concerts in the past, e.g. From the movies Harry Potter, Star Wars, Snowman and Metsä tarina. Now we are looking forward to a new domestic film, of which we have also managed to produce a concert version. The film concert does not compete with the film shown in the cinema, but two different versions of the story are now available, both of which are worth experiencing.

The music for the new Myrskyluoto Maija movie was composed by Lauri Porra. The iconic theme song composed by Lasse Mårtenson from the 1976 Myrskyluoto Maija television series will also be heard at the concert.

The duration of the film is 2 h 43 min, without intermission.

Every Bond fan club around the world recognizes them as the finest performances of the songs since the originals.

Some of the most notable praise has come from hugely influential Bond related stars including:

Bond Composer David Arnold: “They do a phenomenal job”

Former James Bond George Lazenby: “They did John Barry proud”

Sir Roger Moore’s Office (following his Memorial): “They helped make a wonderful day an extraordinary day”

Steven Saltzman (son of legendary Bond producer Harry Saltzman): “You did my Dad proud”

Even The Times national newspaper raved about their performance in a 4-star review of their West End debut: “It’s hard to imagine this music being served better. Simply stunning.”

The show has become synonymous with top events around the world when it comes to James Bond. In 2017 they were asked to perform at Sir Roger Moore’s official memorial event at Pinewood Studios. In 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby: the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps.

The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better performed by musicians taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, sessions and shows. Caroline Bliss, who played Moneypenny in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, will guide you through the concert as compere, sharing the odd anecdote about her time working in this legendary series.

Prague Proms: Reviens Bébel!
Czech National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Marcello Rota - Municipal House, Smetana Hall


Program Info:
Our fans had the opportunity to attend a performance dedicated to the rugged film and theatre actor Jean-Paul Belmondo at an extraordinary concert of the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in 2022. The remarkable success of the event and our admiration of this legendary actor has led us to revisit our project, Reviens Bébel! This time as part of the Prague Proms.

Jean-Paul Belmondo, nicknamed Bébel, excelled in star roles as irresistible adventurers or cynical heroes. In collaboration with the greatest French film makers, he showed courage and superb physical acumen, able to take on even the riskiest scenes without doubles or stuntmen. He could also play psychologically demanding characters with bravura. The famous actors Jean Gabin and Alain Delon were his partners in film, while the mesmerising Tunisian Italian actress Claudia Cardinale exemplifies his colleagues of the female persuasion.

The concert, which is held in the Smetana Hall of the Municipal House in Prague, invites listeners to enjoy the most famous film melodies that are forever inseparably entwined with the one-and-only Bébel. Conducted by Italy’s Marcello Rota, the programme includes music from hits like Hold-Up, Cop or Hood, That Man from Rio, Breathless, or Le Magnifique.

BBC Studios are delighted to announce that Planet Earth III Live in Concert is set to thrill audiences.

Following on from the critically acclaimed and successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live in Concert arena tours, the much-anticipated Planet Earth III Live in Concert will include specially selected breath-taking footage from the latest sensational television series produced by the multi-award-winning BBC Studios Natural History Unit will be shown in 4K ultra high definition on a gigantic LED screen. Playing alongside, the concert will feature the remarkable music score by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and Sara Barone for Bleeding Fingers Music, performed by the fabulous City of Prague Philharmonic orchestra.

Hans Zimmer and his team at Bleeding Fingers also worked in collaboration with Brit-winning and Grammy-nominated band Bastille for the music score and Mercury Prize Award nominated singer-songwriter RAYE.

Hans Zimmer commented: “Creating scores for any of the BBC's Natural History series is always an honour for me as there are no more epic stories than those occurring naturally every day in our own planet’s ecosystem. For Planet Earth III it’s been a further privilege to work with the incredible world class talents of Bastille who created wonderful vocals on the soundscape for the series, and RAYE with her a beautiful, poignant prequal track”.

This ultimate concert experience will take audiences across every corner of the planet from deserts and grasslands, through forests, along coastlines and into the depths of the ocean, with extraordinary stories of animal dramas that are thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking. As always, the natural world continues to surprise, and this concert will show how animals are adapting in extraordinary ways to survive new challenges faced at this crucial time in history where humans play a central role.

The series itself was filmed over 1,904 days, in 43 countries and across six continents. Mike Gunton, the Executive Producer of the Planet Earth III television series says: “Planet Earth III is about the resilience and adaptability of nature, and the remarkable animals that are changing their lives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world dominated more than ever by a powerful force: us. It’s full of surprise and wonder but seen from a new perspective”.

Dominic Walker, Global Business Director at BBC Studios said: “After the successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live In Concert tours, we are delighted to continue our partnership with FKP Scorpio and bring the amazing Planet Earth III to London and Manchester, showcasing the BBC’s ground breaking natural history content on the stage for fans to enjoy once again.”

E.T. The Extra Terrestrial - In Concert
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra conducted by Stéphane Denève - Stifel Theatre


Program Info:
John Williams - E.T. The Extra Terrestrial

Director Steven Spielberg's heartwarming masterpiece, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, follows the moving story of a lost alien who befriends a ten-year-old boy named Elliott. Experience all the mystery and fun of their unforgettable adventure in the beloved movie that captivated audiences around the world while your St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs John Williams’ Academy Award®-winning score live to film.

A few things to know:
The iconic phrase "E.T. phone home" became synonymous with the film. However, the actual line spoken by the character is "E.T. home phone."

This ultimate concert experience will take audiences across every corner of the planet from deserts and grasslands, through forests, along coastlines and into the depths of the ocean, with extraordinary stories of animal dramas that are thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking.

The series itself was filmed over 1,904 days, in 43 countries and across six continents. Mike Gunton, the Executive Producer of the Planet Earth III television series says: “Planet Earth III is about the resilience and adaptability of nature, and the remarkable animals that are changing their lives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world dominated more than ever by a powerful force: us. It’s full of surprise and wonder but seen from a new perspective”.

In 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby: the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps.

The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better performed by musicians taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, sessions and shows.

When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialised mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”

Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

Hans Zimmer commented: “Creating scores for any of the BBC's Natural History series is always an honour for me as there are no more epic stories than those occurring naturally every day in our own planet’s ecosystem. For Planet Earth III it’s been a further privilege to work with the incredible world class talents of Bastille who created wonderful vocals on the soundscape for the series, and RAYE with her a beautiful, poignant prequal track”.

This ultimate concert experience will take audiences across every corner of the planet from deserts and grasslands, through forests, along coastlines and into the depths of the ocean, with extraordinary stories of animal dramas that are thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking. As always, the natural world continues to surprise, and this concert will show how animals are adapting in extraordinary ways to survive new challenges faced at this crucial time in history where humans play a central role.

The series itself was filmed over 1,904 days, in 43 countries and across six continents. Mike Gunton, the Executive Producer of the Planet Earth III television series says: “Planet Earth III is about the resilience and adaptability of nature, and the remarkable animals that are changing their lives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world dominated more than ever by a powerful force: us. It’s full of surprise and wonder but seen from a new perspective”.

Dominic Walker, Global Business Director at BBC Studios said: “After the successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live In Concert tours, we are delighted to continue our partnership with FKP Scorpio and bring the amazing Planet Earth III to London and Manchester, showcasing the BBC’s ground breaking natural history content on the stage for fans to enjoy once again.”

Myrskyluoto Maija film concert
Vantaan Pops Orchestra - Tampere-talo, Iso sali


Program Info:
Lauri Porra - Myrskyluoto's Maija

An additional performance of the highly popular Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra's Myrskyluoto Maija movie concert!

The tragic love story set in the barren outer archipelago comes to life when the film Myrskyluoto's Maija, which premieres in January, is shown on the big screens of the Musiikkitalo in its entirety, accompanied by the large symphony orchestra ensemble of the Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra.

The novelty film, which contains great emotions and a lot of love, was directed by Tiina Lymi and is based on the Myrskyluoto book series by author Anni Blomqvist. The lead roles in this film, set in an outer archipelago and full of emotions, are played by Swedish actors Amanda Jansson and Linus Troedsson. The film is produced by Solar Films.

A film concert (in English Cine Concert or Film Concert) is a concert form that has found a solid foothold in the world. The Vantaa Entertainment Orchestra has also performed film concerts in the past, e.g. From the movies Harry Potter, Star Wars, Snowman and Metsä tarina. Now we are looking forward to a new domestic film, of which we have also managed to produce a concert version. The film concert does not compete with the film shown in the cinema, but two different versions of the story are now available, both of which are worth experiencing.

The music for the new Myrskyluoto Maija movie was composed by Lauri Porra. The iconic theme song composed by Lasse Mårtenson from the 1976 Myrskyluoto Maija television series will also be heard at the concert.

The duration of the film is 2 h 43 min, without intermission.

Many Flemish composers were inspired by painting, and so did Flor Alpaerts in his exuberant James Ensor Suite . In this Ensor year, the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra pays tribute to the Ostend master, to whom sister institution KMSKA is also devoting an exhibition. is Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Violin Concerto peppered with quotes from his best film music. Korngold fled to America in the 1930s, where he became one of the great composers of Hollywood's golden age. The young super talent Benjamin Beilman plays for us the wonderful concerto with folksy, sharp edges that recall Korngold's roots in the Czech Republic of Dvořák and Janáček. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Béla Bartók also fled to America. He composed his Concerto for orchestra there in an intuitive, even 'brutal' style. The various orchestral groups are given a solo role in a dazzling composition with smooth melodies and sophisticated dialogue.

For Planet Earth III it’s been a further privilege to work with the incredible world class talents of Bastille who created wonderful vocals on the soundscape for the series, and RAYE with her a beautiful, poignant prequal track”.

This ultimate concert experience will take audiences across every corner of the planet from deserts and grasslands, through forests, along coastlines and into the depths of the ocean, with extraordinary stories of animal dramas that are thrilling, funny and sometimes heart-breaking. As always, the natural world continues to surprise, and this concert will show how animals are adapting in extraordinary ways to survive new challenges faced at this crucial time in history where humans play a central role.

The series itself was filmed over 1,904 days, in 43 countries and across six continents. Mike Gunton, the Executive Producer of the Planet Earth III television series says: “Planet Earth III is about the resilience and adaptability of nature, and the remarkable animals that are changing their lives to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world dominated more than ever by a powerful force: us. It’s full of surprise and wonder but seen from a new perspective”.

Dominic Walker, Global Business Director at BBC Studios said: “After the successful Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live In Concert tours, we are delighted to continue our partnership with FKP Scorpio and bring the amazing Planet Earth III to London and Manchester, showcasing the BBC’s ground breaking natural history content on the stage for fans to enjoy once again.”

Life on Our Planet is a ground-breaking new 8-part series created by Silverback Films in association with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television. Narrated by Academy Award®-winner Morgan Freeman, it’s the story of life’s epic battle to conquer and survive on planet Earth. Today there are 20 million species on our planet, yet what we see is just a snapshot in time – 99% of earth’s inhabitants are lost to our deep past.

Organised around the five mass extinction events that have forever shaped the planet - plus the sixth we’re facing today - the series brings creatures known only from fossils to life in dramatic, photo-real fashion. These stunning scenes are presented alongside cutting-edge natural history sequences, showcasing the unique evolutionary advantages modern species have inherited from their ancestors in ways that have never been seen before.

Accompanied by a live symphony orchestra playing the score, audiences will see the story of life unfold through its most pivotal moments - from the first single-celled life form to the first animals to move out from the sea and onto land, to the first creatures to take flight. Revisiting one of Earth’s longest-lived dynasties, the dinosaurs, viewers will bear witness to the cataclysmic downfall that led to the age of the mammals and the rise of the most dangerous animal the earth has ever seen: us.

As it traces our lineage across this epic journey, Life on Our Planet underscores our unique status as the only species in the four-billion-year story of the planet as we know it to understand what is happening to our world and what is needed to put it right. After all, there’s one thing the past has shown us: life always finds a way.

The festival is thrilled to announce Philippe Rombi as this year’s guest of honour. A selection of his work will be performed by the Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by maestro Dirk Brossé.

Philippe Rombi grew up in the Southwest of France in a musical family. His older brother’s record collection introduced him to the magic of film scores. His passion for music brought him to the Conservatoire National de Région in Marseille where he studied piano, harmony and conducting with Léa Roussel, Pol Mule and Pierre Barbizet. After completing his studies in Marseille, Rombi enrolled in the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Musique (ENMP) in Paris where he studied composition. A partnership between ENMP and La Fémis film school was established by Rombi’s teacher, French film composer Antoine Duhamel. It was through this partnership that Rombi made his first film scores for student films by - among others - Isabelle Broué.

Film Fest Gent: James Horner Tribute Concert
Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé - Muziekcentrum De Bijloke - concertzaal


Program Info:
On 17 October 2024, Film Fest Gent will pay tribute to the legendary American composer James Horner with a unique night filled with his iconic scores. A selection of his work will be curated with the assistance of Simon Franglen. The World Soundtrack Award for Discovery of the Year 2023 recipient was an integral part of Horner's team on the scores for among others Titanic and Avatar. Maestro Dirk Brossé will lead the Brussels Philharmonic in this musical celebration. “James Horner was one of the icons of film music, a man who created some of the most memorable and emotional scores we have ever heard.”

Film Fest Gent and live music go hand in hand. To celebrate this special relationship the festival organises the yearly World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert and the WSA Film Music Days, where industry professionals and passionate audiences unite to celebrate the best of film music. Each year, a thematic concert is held to pay homage to a composer, a country or a genre.

This year's concert revolves around the work of legendary composer James Horner, whose scores were featured in some of the biggest blockbusters of the last four decades. His legacy includes two of the top box office films of all time - Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009), and some many other iconic scores such as Apollo 13 (1995), Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan (1982), Legends of The Fall (1994), Aliens (1986), A Beautiful Mind (2001) and many concert works. James Horner’s wife, Sara, is hoping to be in attendance.
James Horner

Born in L.A. in 1953, James Horner grew up to become one of Hollywood’s most renowned composers. The score album of Titanic, a monument in film history, remains one of the highest-grossing instrumental soundtrack albums of all time. Leaving an immense musical legacy, he served as a composer on three Oscar Winners for Best Film (Braveheart, 1995; Titanic and A Beautiful Mind) and won two Academy Awards for his work on James Cameron’s 1997 epic film.

Sinfonietta Nova
London Sinfonietta & Sinfonietta Cracovia - Łaźnia Nowa Theater


Program Info:
An exciting partnership with Sinfonietta Cracovia, London Sinfonietta musicians will be guest concertmasters to celebrate their 30th anniversary and discover new areas of music for the Krakow audience.

The first of three Sinfonietta Nova concerts will feature London Sinfonietta's Jonathan Morton. The concert will take you on a journey through the raw and palpable power of Krzysztof Penderecki, the eerie and unsettling undercurrent of the Oscar-winning soundtrack 'There Will Be Blood' to the unistic and deeply layered style of composer Zygmunt Krauze, who will sit at the piano.

The programme will include:

Witold Lutosławski Overture
Bryce Dessner Réponse Lutosławski
Peter Sculthorpe Jabiru Dreaming
Edmund Finnis Between Rain
Krzysztof Penderecki String Quartet no 1
Sygmunt Krauze Penderecki in memoriam
Jonny Greenwood Three movements from There Will be Blood

Jonathan Morton violin
Sinfonietta Cracovia

The second Sinfonietta Nova concerts will feature London Sinfonietta's Paul Silverthorne. The concert programme will show the virtuosity of the ensemble and the individual players, while giving you an insight to Paul's personal connection to the music he has chosen.

The programme will include:

Nicholas Maw Life Studies (III, V, VI)
Toru Takemitsu A way A lone II
John Woolrich Ulysses Awakes
Joanna Wnuk-Nazar Quintetto per archi no. 2

"I’m very excited to be working with the Sinfonietta Cracovia in April. In planning the programme I have tried include works that have a particularly personal connection whilst giving the players the opportunity to show off their individual and ensemble virtuosity. The audience will also I hope enjoy some music that is unfamiliar and engaging.

The eight movements of Life Studies by Nicholas Maw were completed in 1976. They are written for 19 string players in two opposing groups separated by a solo double bass player. I have chosen movements 3,4 and 5, which display Maw’s imaginative use of these resources. This was one of the very first works I played with the London Sinfonietta early in my career, I’ve wanted to explore them again for a long time.

Toru Takemitsu was a great friend of the London Sinfonietta, and a man of great warmth and wit. He wrote many works for the group and often visited London to work with us on the premières. I also personally value his wonderful contribution to the viola solo and chamber repertoire. This exquisite work for string orchestra is from 1981. The title is a quotation from Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake.

John Woolrich is a composer I’ve known personally for many years, aside from his composing he is very much sought after for curating imaginative and eclectic concerts and festival programme's. Many of his work draw inspiration from earlier composers in this case looking back four centuries to Monteverdi’s opera Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria.

This is my first encounter with the music of Joanna Wnuk-Nazarova,.The work is dedicated to the memory of Krzysztof Penderecki, and while it has in common some of the strength and rigour of her mentor there is a strong individual voice in this music with some challenging and exciting writing." - Paul Silverthorne.

Each Sinfonietta Nova concert will feature one London Sinfonietta musician who will visit Poland to rehearse and perform with the Sinfonietta Cracovia.

“Nosferatu, A Symphony of Horror” (1922) was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula.” Nearly all copies of the film were destroyed under court order, but one print survived and came to be regarded as a masterpiece. Celebrate Halloween by experiencing this bizarre and chilling silent film classic on the giant Helzberg Hall screen with live thundering accompaniment by organist Dorothy Papadakos on the Julia Irene Kauffman Casavant Organ. If you liked last season’s sold-out “Phantom of the Opera” silent film with organ concert, you’ll love “Nosferatu.” Costumes encouraged!

(Un)Silent Film: Nosferatu
Louisville Orchestra - Whitney Hall at the Kentucky Performing Arts Center


Program Info:
Sebastian Chang - Nosferatu

Dive into a night of thrilling suspense with the Louisville Orchestra’s (Un)Silent Film: Nosferatu on October 23. Watch the iconic silent film ‘Nosferatu (1922)’, a masterpiece of horror that tells the eerie tale of Count Orlok, a vampire from Transylvania who brings terror and plague upon his quest for a new home and a fresh victim. This chilling tale comes alive like never before with a haunting live score by Sebastian Chang, performed by the mesmerizing Louisville Orchestra during the film. After a spellbinding world premiere last year, this masterpiece returns for its second annual performance, promising an evening where music and shadow meld into an unforgettable spectacle. Grab your tickets for this unique blend of gothic horror and harmonic beauty.

Sebastian Chang, composer for ‘Nosferatu’ describes the piece, “It took a couple of months to complete the original score. The piece uses different motifs to represent different characters. Because there’s no dialogue it depends entirely on the music to feed the audience the emotions that I want them to lean towards when they’re viewing the film. I did a short score of about four staves, and then I expanded that out to orchestration. My inspiration came from all the great composers of the Classical tradition, and probably all of the old Hollywood scores, from the 50s or the 70s.”

Casino Royale – in Concert
City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kevin Griffiths - KKL


Program Info:
David Arnold - Casino Royale

With “Casino Royale” James Bond 007 can once again be experienced as an integral film-music spectacle. While the tough spy thriller shines on the big screen, the City Light Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Kevin Griffiths plays the gripping film music by composer David Arnold live for the film!

In 2006, EON Productions and MGM achieved a spectacular reboot of the Bond franchise with “Casino Royale”. The 21st Bond film became the most successful part of the long-running series at the time. In addition, actor Daniel Craig made his debut as the legendary MI6 agent in “Casino Royale,” with his performance receiving much praise from fans and critics.

Directed by Martin Campbell, “Casino Royale” tells of Bond’s turbulent start to his career. Newly given the 00 status and the license to kill, Bond is sent to meet Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), the unscrupulous financier of terrorist activities.

The hunt for Le Chiffre takes Bond from the Malagasy jungle to the beautiful sandy beaches of the Bahamas and finally to the luxurious Casino Royale in Montenegro, where gigantic stakes lead to a showdown at the poker table.

The fast-paced finale takes place in a breathtaking chase on the Grand Canal in Venice. Bond is accompanied by the beautiful British treasury agent Vesper Lynd (Eva Green).

Garnering widespread acclaim, Ghostbusters, written by Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis, earned nearly $300 million at the global box office and became a mega-pop culture phenomenon that endures four decades later.

Bram Stoker's Dracula - In Concert
Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra - Auditorium Theatre


Program Info:
Wojciech Kilar - Bram Stoker's Dracula

This will be the North American premiere of this production.

Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematographic retelling of Bram Stoker’s novel became a box office hit in 1992, crowned by three Academy Awards. Its fresh and bold conceptual energy turned the movie into the most influential vampire film in decades. A film whose opulence and sense of spectacle triggered a whole new wave of contemporary horror films. One of the film’s strengths was coming back to Bram Stoker’s original novel instead of adapting the more popular theater play from the 1920s.

Polish composer Wojciech Kilar (1932-2013), one of the most respected European composers of the last decades, was chosen to write the original score. As Coppola did in 1 972 when he approached Italian composer Nino Rota to score THE GODFATHER, the surprising choice of Wojciech Kilar would break all musical molds of the genre. Belonging to the generation of Krzysztof Penderecki and Henryk Górecki, Kilar’s glorious score dwells between lush romanticism, mysticism and avantgarde. Although Kilar had written dozens of soundtracks for European films before, it is BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA that ensures his position in the pantheon of film music legends.

The James Bond Concert Spectacular
Q The Music Show conducted by Warren Ringham - William Aston Hall


Program Info:
Q The Music’s James Bond Concert Spectacular is the world’s most critically acclaimed tribute to the music of James Bond.

Formed in 2004 as the world’s first dedicated tribute to the music of 007, they have become known for their stirring emotional and adrenaline-fueled performances, mixed in with superb musicianship and flair. Every Bond fan club around the world recognizes them as the finest performances of the songs since the originals.

Some of the most notable praise has come from hugely influential Bond related stars including:

Bond Composer David Arnold: “They do a phenomenal job”

Former James Bond George Lazenby: “They did John Barry proud”

Sir Roger Moore’s Office (following his Memorial): “They helped make a wonderful day an extraordinary day”

Steven Saltzman (son of legendary Bond producer Harry Saltzman): “You did my Dad proud”

Even The Times national newspaper raved about their performance in a 4-star review of their West End debut: “It’s hard to imagine this music being served better. Simply stunning.”

The show has become synonymous with top events around the world when it comes to James Bond. In 2017 they were asked to perform at Sir Roger Moore’s official memorial event at Pinewood Studios. In 2019 they performed at an event with George Lazenby: the 50th anniversary event for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, held at Piz Gloria in the Swiss Alps.

The show features all the Bond songs such as Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever, Live and Let Die and Nobody Does It Better performed by musicians taken from the UK’s leading orchestras, sessions and shows. Caroline Bliss, who played Moneypenny in The Living Daylights and Licence To Kill, will guide you through the concert as compere, sharing the odd anecdote about her time working in this legendary series.

With stunning singing, exquisite musicianship, an informative compere, and a show full of iconic tunes, it really is a night guaranteed of the highest quality. Don’t miss it.

Halloween film concert - Psycho
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande conducted by Ernst van Tiel - Victoria Hall


Program Info:
Bernard Herrmann - Psycho

Prepare for an exhilarating experience with Bernard Herrmann’s score for Psycho, cinematic masterpiece by the king of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. Known for its intense darkness, this film has viewers on the edge of their seats as it unveils the haunting depiction of a troubled young man, skillfully portrayed by Anthony Perkins. In their fourth collaboration, legendary Hitchcock granted the composer carte blanche. Unfortunately, the tight budget was not so expansive and denied him access to a full symphony orchestra. Surprisingly, this constraint proved to be most beneficial; Hermann’s decision to use solely strings aligns perfectly with the stark black and white visuals. Nowhere is this more evident than in the iconic “shower scene”, where Herrmann’s piercing music intensifies the gravity of the murderer’s fatal act. Herrmann’s genius extends beyond conventional film music. His use of dissonant harmonies, ostinatos, minimalism, and harmonic structures represents a revolutionary departure from the romanticism prevalent in Hollywood at the time.

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
21st Century Orchestra conducted by Ludwig Wicki - KKL, concert hall


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine of Halloween, Jack longs to try something new. Convinced that he can spread the joy of Christmas and against the advice of Sally, a caring and clever ragdoll, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock, Shock, and Barrel – to kidnap Santa Claus. But Jack’s merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere.

The film is rated “PG.”

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
21st Century Orchestra conducted by Ludwig Wicki - KKL, concert hall


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

A Celebration of the Music from Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit
Orchestra - Warwick Arts Centre


Program Info:
Step into the worlds of Westeros and Middle-Earth this winter with a celebration of the music from Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, some of the most popular on-screen creations of all time. Scores from the fantasy series and adventure films are to be performed live by a symphony orchestra and choir on December 6th at Warwick Arts Centre.

The HBO hit series Game of Thrones, which at the height of its popularity averaged 32 million viewers per episode, is based on the 8-volume series of books by George R. R. Martin and follows the power struggle for the iron throne among the houses of Westeros.

A symphony orchestra will bring to life the Game of Thrones soundtrack compiled by Grammy nominated score composer and student of Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, known for his work on the 2008 Marvel film Iron Man.

As well as the Game of Thrones soundtrack, the symphony orchestra will also perform the scores from the original trilogy of The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. Directed by Peter Jackson, the series of films are among the highest grossing of all time, winning a combined 17 out of the 30 Academy Awards they were nominated for.

Composed by Howard Shore, the soundtrack from the fantasy series features music of unparalleled power. The success of the The Lord of the Rings’ soundtrack led Shore to also score Peter Jackson’s follow-up prequels to Lord of the Rings; The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug, and The Battle of the Five Armies.

The show comes off the back of two sell out shows in previous years at Nottingham Royal Concert Hall and London’s Palladium where Sci-Fi Bulletin observed, “the audience loved it, some great music”.

Día de Los Muertos with Dudamel

Program Info:
Celebrating Day of the Dead with vibrant Afro-Mexican and Brazilian music

Gustavo Dudamel leads a festive exploration of Latin American music for Día de los Muertos with Villa-Lobos’ progressive tour de force and Gabriela Ortiz’s 2019 Yanga. Her work for orchestra, chorus, and percussion ensemble is characterized by its use of African instruments and colorful, multilayered rhythms. Ortiz says, “[Yanga] speaks to the greatness of humanity when in search of equality and the universal right to enjoy freedom to the fullest.” Revueltas’ film score La noche de los Mayas digs deeper into Mexico’s ancient culture brought into conversation with the modern world, bolting through thunderous, dynamic rhythms and a flute interlude based on a traditional Yucatan evening song. Within the music is what poet Octavio Paz describes as Revueltas’ “deep-felt but also joyful concern for man.”

Program
Villa-Lobos - Chôros No. 10, “Rasga o Coração”
Gabriela ORTIZ - Yanga, LA Phil commission with generous support from R. Martin Chavez

Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari
Karl Bartos - Prinzregententheater


Program Info:
Robert Wiene's silent film classic from 1920 with new film music composed by ex-Kraftwerk musician Karl Bartos

The silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” by Robert Wiene from 1920 is an absolute classic and is considered the first psychological thriller in film history. One person who has dealt particularly intensively with this milestone in the history of expressionist film is the composer and musician Karl Bartos - better known to many as a long-time band member and co-composer of Kraftwerk. Karl Bartos, a classically trained musician, has had a passion for this German silent film for almost 20 years. Now he has created a new, experimentally interpreted sound for the film. This new film music will premiere at the Alte Oper Frankfurt in February 2024. The digitally restored film version in 4K resolution meets Karl Bartos' film music, which he live on stage with his partner Mathias Black . plays and controls

Bartos is guided by the rhythm and tempo of the scenes. The most important means of expression for him was the timeless sound of the symphony orchestra, of course synthetically produced and electronically modulated. We hear melodies in the Bachian tradition of the Baroque era and the early Romanticism of Mozart, we hear the dissonances of Arnold Schönberg, the disturbing metrical playing of Stravinsky and Philip Glass' harsh dramatic repetitions. Outside of the classical tradition, there are the folksy bricolage sounds of the fairground barrel organ, lapel tape effects, and sounds that would fit right in with a classic-era Kraftwerk album.

Gustavo Dudamel leads a festive exploration of Latin American music for Día de los Muertos with Villa-Lobos’ progressive tour de force and Gabriela Ortiz’s 2019 Yanga. Her work for orchestra, chorus, and percussion ensemble is characterized by its use of African instruments and colorful, multilayered rhythms. Ortiz says, “[Yanga] speaks to the greatness of humanity when in search of equality and the universal right to enjoy freedom to the fullest.” Revueltas’ film score La noche de los Mayas digs deeper into Mexico’s ancient culture brought into conversation with the modern world, bolting through thunderous, dynamic rhythms and a flute interlude based on a traditional Yucatan evening song. Within the music is what poet Octavio Paz describes as Revueltas’ “deep-felt but also joyful concern for man.”

Program Info:
Michael Giacchino - Coco

Federico Ramos, guitar

Celebrate the ageless power of music with Disney/Pixar’s Coco on the big screen as your St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs the movie’s magical score live with guitarist Federico Ramos. Inspired by the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead, the film follows 12-year-old Miguel as he enters the Land of the Dead to find his great-great-grandfather, a legendary singer, and confront his family's ancestral ban on music. Don’t miss this evening where every melody is a memory, and every song is a bridge between worlds.

A few things to know:
Whenever you see the main character Miguel play his guitar in the movie, you are seeing an animation of Federico Ramos’ hands.
Award-winning actor and filmmaker Gael García Bernal provided the voice for the character Héctor in the English, Spanish, and Italian versions of Coco. This is relatively rare in animation as different actors are typically used for different language versions.
Among other awards, composer Michael Giacchino won a 2007 Grammy Award for his score for Ratatouille and the 2009 Academy Award® and Grammy® for his original score for Up.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in concert
230-piece symphony orchestra, choirs and foreign soloists - O2 Universum


Program Info:
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The journey of the “Fellowship of the Ring” is over, the decisive battle for Middle-earth begins! Enjoy the dramatic conclusion of the entire trilogy in a unique film performance accompanied by live music by Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore performed by a 230-piece symphony orchestra, choirs and foreign soloists.

The concert with a spectacular film projection will take place twice, on November 8 and 9, 2024, in the modern concert hall O2 universum Prague.

The film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, based on the book by J. R. R. Tolkien, premiered in the Czech Republic on 15 January 2004. Its attendance reached three quarters of a million viewers. Although more than 20 years have passed since its release, this groundbreaking work has not lost anything in the audience’s popularity. On the contrary, new and new generations admire its perfection. The wonderful music for the entire trilogy was composed by Howard Shore, who received two Oscars for it (for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King). The final song of the entire saga, Into the West, sung by the famous Annie Lennox, was awarded the third Oscar.

“The large scale of the music requires a symphony orchestra, a mixed choir, a boys’ choir and instrumental and vocal soloists singing in Tolkien’s literary languages, but of course also in English,” explains the author. His compositional art is fully manifested here and creates the second plan of the story perfectly. Styles and instruments from different corners of the world complete and characterize the individual elements of Tolkien’s saga.

The film Return of the King received eleven Oscars and thus entered the hall of fame of films with the highest number of golden statuettes. The completion of the epic trilogy established director Peter Jackson forever on the throne of the creators of fantasy films, and his name is etched in the memory of millions of people around the world. Tolkien himself referred to his Middle-earth books as a work that he believed could not be translated to the screen. The production team led by Peter Jackson, with all the love and respect for this work, proved the opposite, and thanks to them we now have the opportunity to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in HD quality. “The Lord of the Rings has been my passion since childhood, the opportunity to translate this world onto the screen was also the fulfilment of my dream,” said Jackson in one of the interviews after the premiere of The Return of the King.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in concert
230-piece symphony orchestra, choirs and foreign soloists - O2 Universum


Program Info:
Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The journey of the “Fellowship of the Ring” is over, the decisive battle for Middle-earth begins! Enjoy the dramatic conclusion of the entire trilogy in a unique film performance accompanied by live music by Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore performed by a 230-piece symphony orchestra, choirs and foreign soloists.

The concert with a spectacular film projection will take place twice, on November 8 and 9, 2024, in the modern concert hall O2 universum Prague.

The film The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, based on the book by J. R. R. Tolkien, premiered in the Czech Republic on 15 January 2004. Its attendance reached three quarters of a million viewers. Although more than 20 years have passed since its release, this groundbreaking work has not lost anything in the audience’s popularity. On the contrary, new and new generations admire its perfection. The wonderful music for the entire trilogy was composed by Howard Shore, who received two Oscars for it (for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King). The final song of the entire saga, Into the West, sung by the famous Annie Lennox, was awarded the third Oscar.

“The large scale of the music requires a symphony orchestra, a mixed choir, a boys’ choir and instrumental and vocal soloists singing in Tolkien’s literary languages, but of course also in English,” explains the author. His compositional art is fully manifested here and creates the second plan of the story perfectly. Styles and instruments from different corners of the world complete and characterize the individual elements of Tolkien’s saga.

The film Return of the King received eleven Oscars and thus entered the hall of fame of films with the highest number of golden statuettes. The completion of the epic trilogy established director Peter Jackson forever on the throne of the creators of fantasy films, and his name is etched in the memory of millions of people around the world. Tolkien himself referred to his Middle-earth books as a work that he believed could not be translated to the screen. The production team led by Peter Jackson, with all the love and respect for this work, proved the opposite, and thanks to them we now have the opportunity to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy in HD quality. “The Lord of the Rings has been my passion since childhood, the opportunity to translate this world onto the screen was also the fulfilment of my dream,” said Jackson in one of the interviews after the premiere of The Return of the King.

The Great Dictator in concert
City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Timothy Brock - KKL


Program Info:
Chalres Chaplin - The Great Dictator

Experience the silent film masterpiece on the big screen with live original music

“Our ammunition is laughter and with it we target the vanity of men who place themselves above other men.” This is what Charlie Chaplin said in an interview in August 1940. With “The Great Dictator,” Charlie Chaplin attempted his most delicate mission – it was his first talkie and at the same time his last appearance as a tramp. As a result, he achieved a memorable masterpiece that was nominated for 5 Oscars in 1941 – including “best film” and “best film score”. The world premiere of “The Great Dictator” took place on October 15, 1940 and the film had to be shown in two cinemas at the same time due to the large number of visitors.

“The Great Dictator” tells the story of a Jewish hairdresser (Charlie Chaplin) who finds himself in a new world after spending 20 years in a hospital as a World War I invalid and suffering from amnesia due to an accident. The district in which his barbershop is located is now considered a ghetto for Jews and dissidents. And so the Jewish hairdresser and the laundress Hannah (Paulette Goddard), between whom a romance is brewing, end up in a dramatic whirlpool of events, which the tramp always knows how to outwit...

As with his previous two films, “City Lights” and “Modern Times,” Charlie Chaplin also composed the music for “The Great Dictator,” collaborating with 38-year-old American composer Meredith Willson. In addition to an excerpt from Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5 and an excerpt from Wagner's Lohengrin Prelude, every note of the film music is original and perfectly tailored to what is happening on the screen.

In 2023, the Chaplin Office in Paris commissioned a restoration of the film's music. This was done by Chaplin music expert Timothy Brock and can now be heard for the first time ever in German-speaking Switzerland.

Experience “The Great Dictator” on the big screen in the concert hall, while the 75-member City Light Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Timothy Brock himself, plays the film music live and precisely!

Despite enjoying much less recognition than his illustrious compatriots, Maurice Duruflé could never be dubbed a second-class composer. He is the mind behind the beautiful Requiem and the Three Dances for Orchestra, heavily inspired by Debussy, and deserving of greater inclusion in the repertoire. Hitting the screens in 2002, Catch me if you can is one of Steven Spielberg’s triumphs, with Leonardo DiCaprio brilliantly portraying the true story of a young con artist. A prolific film score composer, John Williams incorporated three themes from the film into his Escapades for alto saxophone and orchestra. Harrison Birtwistle, never one to pamper to popular opinion, composes music without compromises. Drawing inspiration from mythology, Panic paints a vivid picture of the terror and ecstasy felt by animals at the sound of the god Pan’s music. The enormous orchestra behind Ravel’s Bolero with its three saxophones, while not intimidating or fearsome, consistently elicits this ecstasy.

Maurice Duruflé - Three Dances for orchestra, Op. 6

John Williams & Hans Zimmer Odyssey
Curieux Orchestre conducted by Daniel Sicard - Le Phare - Grand Chambéry


Program Info:
From Star Wars to Interstellar, including Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, Gladiator and many others, come and rediscover these cinematic masterpieces like you've never heard them before.
Combining the 15 musicians of the bustling Curieux Orchester with sound design and electronic sounds, this experience ...unique offers an immersion that is both intimate and dynamic through the major works of these two genius composers: John Williams and Hans Zimmer.

Curieux Orchester is an orchestral ensemble of young professional musicians from the largest national conservatories and orchestras, artistically and musically directed by Daniel Sicard.
Curieux Orchester frees itself from classical codes and proudly claims to be “pop”, both in the accessibility of its programs and in the way of implementing them. Combining high musical standards and popular repertoire, the orchestra's DNA is to explore the alchemy that exists between the different arts and to offer unusual experiences beyond the simple concert (film concerts, concerts with dance and speeches). …); while also encountering different aesthetics (electro, pop, metal, etc.).
The majority of Curieux's projects arise from a desire for commitment, for access to culture for all (free tours in villages, hospitals), education (in partnership with Orchester à l'Ecole), and ecology (in partnership with Avant l’Orage / Camille Etienne). ”

Program Info:
Craig Armstrong - Love Actually

Get ready for a reunion with the most cheerful the Christmas classic of them all. Oslo Konserthus ensures the Christmas atmosphere when we transform the large concert hall into a "film hall" and show Love Actually with the Stockholm Concert Symphony Orchestra.

Love Actually is one star-studded film from 2003, which elegantly shows the vulnerability of falling in love and intelligent, grotesque humor. Together, it becomes a gem of Christmas magic.

The film takes place in London in December, where different people for better or for worse struggling with love and falling in love: It is among other, the newly elected prime minister, the sandwich delivery man and the abdicated the rock star. And many many more.

What they all have in common is that they take a few chances and now stand much at stake. This results in a number of comical and sad situations with lots of emotion and drama. As most of us can nod in recognition to, from the heady rush of happiness to total humiliation...

Look forward to experiencing Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth, and Hugh Grant and many more reach the concert hall turn on the Christmas spirit to the fullest and show Love Actually live symphony orchestra.

The Stockholm Concert Orchestra plays the music for the film!

The film is shown in the original version with Norwegian subtitles.

Gabriel Michaud, drums

Despite enjoying much less recognition than his illustrious compatriots, Maurice Duruflé could never be dubbed a second-class composer. He is the mind behind the beautiful Requiem and the Three Dances for Orchestra, heavily inspired by Debussy, and deserving of greater inclusion in the repertoire. Hitting the screens in 2002, Catch me if you can is one of Steven Spielberg’s triumphs, with Leonardo DiCaprio brilliantly portraying the true story of a young con artist. A prolific film score composer, John Williams incorporated three themes from the film into his Escapades for alto saxophone and orchestra. Harrison Birtwistle, never one to pamper to popular opinion, composes music without compromises. Drawing inspiration from mythology, Panic paints a vivid picture of the terror and ecstasy felt by animals at the sound of the god Pan’s music. The enormous orchestra behind Ravel’s Bolero with its three saxophones, while not intimidating or fearsome, consistently elicits this ecstasy.

Maurice Duruflé - Three Dances for orchestra, Op. 6
John Williams - Escapades for alto saxophone and orchestra (from the film 'Catch me if you can')

Intermission

Harrison Birtwistle - Panic, a dithyramb for alto saxophone, jazz drummer, wind, brass and percussion

Film Music Concert "Avatar" and "Titanic" and the most beautiful songs by James Horner
Polish Radio Orchestra conducted by Maciej Sztor - COS Torwar


Program Info:
On December 6, the COS Torwar Hall in Warsaw will host the premiere of a concert dedicated to the work of James Horner - the author of soundtracks for over a hundred Hollywood films, including the most profitable productions in the entire history of cinema: "Avatar" and "Titanic".

The Polish Radio Orchestra in Warsaw and the Warsaw University of Technology Choir, conducted by Maciej Sztor, will perform James Horner's most famous compositions for films such as: "Avatar", "Titanic", "Brave Heart", "Apollo 13", "Glory" and "Alien". The concert program will also include the latest music for "Avatar 2". The solo parts will be sung by Anna Lasota, and the narration will be led by Magda Miśka-Jackowska.

A specially selected original repertoire will allow you to appreciate the stylistic richness and talent of James Horner - one of the most outstanding contemporary film music composers, orchestrators and conductors. In his unforgettable soundtracks, he skillfully combined choral, instrumental and electronic sounds. He has successfully created music for historical cinema, science fiction, drama, horror and animation. He was able to portray any musical color, and in his statements he often compared composing to painting.

2 performances

In a very short time, Horner became one of the most sought-after Hollywood composers. He has collaborated with the best musicians in the world and great directors, such as George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, Mel Gibson and Olivier Stone. In 1987, Horner received his first Oscar nomination for the score for Aliens. However, he received the coveted Academy Award statuettes only in 1998 for the soundtrack to the film "Titanic" and for the song "My heart will go on", which he co-wrote with Will Jennings.

“Horner's music requires a very efficient performing apparatus that can reproduce all the nuances of the score and realize the entire palette of colors in a noble and subtle way. His music flows, it cannot be contained within frames," summarizes conductor Maciej Sztor.

The songs performed live by the choir and orchestra will be illustrated by projections of film fragments and the most famous film frames on a cinema screen.

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Live orchestra - Alte Oper, Großer Saal


Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

Who doesn't know the theme song of the Christmas classic “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella”? For over 50 years, the fairytale heroine has been riding dreamily on her gray horse Santa Claus through snow-covered landscapes, delighting generations of viewers. Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for great happiness and shows the prince exactly where to go right from the first encounter in the forest. Headstrong and with his heart in the right place - that's what defines the film to this day. Since its first broadcast in 1973, the light-hearted film fairy tale with its snowy backdrop and wintry-romantic atmosphere has been an integral part of the Christmas program. This cinematic Christmas miracle is due to strange circumstances: the original script called for Cinderella to run across “blooming meadows”; But because the film studios for the Czech-German co-production were already scheduled for the summer, director Václav Vorliček had the story moved to the winter without further ado.

Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has regularly sold out concert halls at Christmas time in German-speaking countries, whose podiums are transformed into the setting for the enchanting love story. While the fairytale film unfolds on a large screen, the film soundtrack by Karel Svoboda is played live by a large symphony orchestra and synchronised scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness in the audience.

Home Alone in concert
Royal Northern Sinfonia conducted by Anthony Gabriele - The Glass House, Sage One


Program Info:
John Williams - Home Alone

Our orchestra Royal Northern Sinfonia, playing the music whilst the movie is on the big screen.

John Williams’ beautiful score – he also wrote the music to E.T and loads of other family favourites. Expect lots of sleigh bells, sparkly twinkly tunes, some festive pop hits like Jingle Bell Rock and of course, this film’s very own theme Somewhere in My Memory.

This movie is definitely an old favourite for lots of people – and quickly becomes a new favourite if you’re seeing it for the first time. It’s a heartwarming and hilarious Christmas classic. When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left behind when his family goes on holiday for Christmas, he revels in his newfound freedom. However, his joy is short-lived when he discovers that two bumbling burglars, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), plan to rob his home. Kevin devises a series of ingenious traps to defend his house, turning it into a booby-trapped fortress. The film is a delightful blend of slapstick humour and heartwarming moments as Kevin learns the importance of family and the true meaning of Christmas.
Haven’t I seen that cast before?

Macaulay Culkin was one of those child actors from the 90’s that appeared in loads of hits. Remember Ritchie Rich?! The fun and bubbly John Candy appears in this one too. Macaulay Culkin’s brother – Kieran – plays one of the kids in this… you might recognise him now as Roman in Succession. And who could forget Catherine O’Hara, playing Kevin’s mother, who lots of us remember from films like Beetlejuice and is now being iconic all over again in Schitt’s Creek.

The film features an all-star ensemble cast, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Laura Linney, Bill Nighy, Martine McCutcheon, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley Rowan Atkinson, Martin Freeman, and many more.

Rossini composed Introduction,Theme and Variations at the age of 18, remaining a virtuosic staple for clarinetists.

Hindemith sketched a series of movements on themes by Carl Maria von Weber for a ballet.

Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The most beautiful fairy tale film of the 20th century with a live soundtrack

Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has regularly sold out concert halls at Christmas time in German-speaking countries, whose podiums are transformed into the setting for the enchanting love story. While the fairytale film unfolds on a large screen, the film soundtrack by Karel Svoboda is played live by a large symphony orchestra and synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness in the audience.

Home Alone in concert
Royal Northern Sinfonia conducted by Anthony Gabriele - The Glass House, Sage One


Program Info:
John Williams - Home Alone

Our orchestra Royal Northern Sinfonia, playing the music whilst the movie is on the big screen.

John Williams’ beautiful score – he also wrote the music to E.T and loads of other family favourites. Expect lots of sleigh bells, sparkly twinkly tunes, some festive pop hits like Jingle Bell Rock and of course, this film’s very own theme Somewhere in My Memory.

This movie is definitely an old favourite for lots of people – and quickly becomes a new favourite if you’re seeing it for the first time. It’s a heartwarming and hilarious Christmas classic. When 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) is accidentally left behind when his family goes on holiday for Christmas, he revels in his newfound freedom. However, his joy is short-lived when he discovers that two bumbling burglars, Harry and Marv (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), plan to rob his home. Kevin devises a series of ingenious traps to defend his house, turning it into a booby-trapped fortress. The film is a delightful blend of slapstick humour and heartwarming moments as Kevin learns the importance of family and the true meaning of Christmas.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Stadthalle Göppingen


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Williams / Harry Potter
Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maria Sydor - Filharmonia Szczecin


Program Info:
John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Alexandre Desplat - Harry Potter symphonic suite
John Powell - How To Train Your Dragon
Paul Dukas - The Sorcerer's Apprentice

It is already a tradition at the Philharmonic that every year in May we take you to the world of the best film music. Last season it was music from the Star Wars movie , this time on our concert menu: Harry Potter - symphonic suite ! The adventures of the young wizard were told in a total of eight films. The saga became a huge box office success. Films about the adventures of Harry Potter, shot in 2001-2011, earned $7.7 billion worldwide (source: filmweb.pl ).

The suite that will open our concert consists of the most famous musical motifs from Harry Potter films, written by John Williams (born 1932), one of the most famous film music composers in history (56 Oscar nominations, including 5 statuettes), author music for the parts: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Patrick Doyle (born 1953), creator of the soundtrack for the parts of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Alexandre Desplat (born 1961), whose music can be heard in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Parts I and II .

After the break, we will return to the world of magic and sorcerers thanks to the next songs. We will hear music from the famous film by the creators of Shrek and Madagascar , which has had three subsequent parts. We are, of course, talking about the famous film How to Train Your Dragon , with music written by John Powell (born 1963). He is also the author of music for almost 70 other films, for which he was nominated several times for a Grammy and an Oscar.

This literally magical evening will end with the symphonic poem The Sorcerer's Apprentice by the French composer Paul Dukas (1865-1935). The work is subtitled Scherzo after Goethe's ballad , because it was inspired by Goethe's poem from 1797 under that title. The plot told in the poem can be briefly summarised as follows: in the absence of the sorcerer, the student wants to test the strength of the acquired magical powers. So he enchants the broom to carry water. The trick works and more water appears. However, when it becomes dangerously high, the student realises that he no longer remembers how to cancel the spell. Terrified that he will inevitably flood the entire house, he splits the broom in half with an axe, which only makes matters worse. Because now two brooms are constantly carrying water. However, everything has a happy ending, as the situation is saved by the sorcerer. It is this funny story that Dukas's piece tells, so it is a work of programmatic music, i.e. with a specific theme. It is also the most famous and most frequently performed work by the French composer. And although it was never written for the big screen, it was used in an animated film by Walt Disney Fantasia from 1940, in which Mickey Mouse himself played the role of the titular student. Thanks to this, the fame of this piece went beyond the walls of concert halls and it became widely known to a wider audience.

On this evening with film music, the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra will be led by Maestra Maria Sydor , an excellent young conductor, assistant to the artistic director and chief conductor of the Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra.

Program Info:
Miles Goodman - The Muppet Christmas

Experience Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale as only the Muppets can tell it. Kermit and the gang help Ebenezer Scrooge, played by actor Michale Caine, find redemption and his holiday spirit one fateful Christmas Eve. Join your St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as they perform the memorable score while this delightful family film plays on Stifel Theatre’s big screen.

A few things to know:

In 2023 The Guardian declared the film “not only the greatest Christmas film ever made, but also the best Muppet movie and among the most glorious of all Dickens adaptations.”
The original score was composed by Miles Goodman (“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “Little Shop of Horrors”) with songs by Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy®-winning songwriter Paul Williams (“Rainbow Connection,” “Evergreen”).
When Jim Henson offered the role of Ebenezer Scrooge to Michael Caine, he replied: "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me.”

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Stadtheater Emmerich


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Muppet Christmas Carol - In Concert
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra - Stifel Theatre


Program Info:
Miles Goodman - The Muppet Christmas

Experience Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale as only the Muppets can tell it. Kermit and the gang help Ebenezer Scrooge, played by actor Michale Caine, find redemption and his holiday spirit one fateful Christmas Eve. Join your St. Louis Symphony Orchestra as they perform the memorable score while this delightful family film plays on Stifel Theatre’s big screen.

A few things to know:

In 2023 The Guardian declared the film “not only the greatest Christmas film ever made, but also the best Muppet movie and among the most glorious of all Dickens adaptations.”
The original score was composed by Miles Goodman (“Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,” “Little Shop of Horrors”) with songs by Oscar®, Emmy® and Grammy®-winning songwriter Paul Williams (“Rainbow Connection,” “Evergreen”).
When Jim Henson offered the role of Ebenezer Scrooge to Michael Caine, he replied: "I'm going to play this movie like I'm working with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I will never wink, I will never do anything Muppety. I am going to play Scrooge as if it is an utterly dramatic role and there are no puppets around me.”

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Rhein Sieg Forum


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Orchestra - Musik- und Kongresshalle Lübeck (MUK)


Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The original film with live orchestra
Who doesn't know the theme song of the Christmas classic “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella”? For over 50 years, the fairytale heroine has been riding dreamily on her gray horse Santa Claus through snow-covered landscapes, delighting generations of viewers.

Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for great happiness and shows the prince exactly where to go right from the first encounter in the forest. Since its first broadcast in 1973, the film fairytale with its snowy backdrop and wintry-romantic atmosphere has been an integral part of the Christmas program. Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has regularly sold out concert halls at Christmas time in German-speaking countries, whose podiums are transformed into the setting for the enchanting love story.

While the fairytale film unfolds on a large screen, the film soundtrack by Karel Svoboda is played live by a large symphony orchestra and synchronised scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness in the audience.

Get ready for a reunion with the most cheerful the Christmas classic of them all. Grieghallen ensures the Christmas atmosphere when we transform the large concert hall into a "film hall" and show Love Actually with the Stockholm Concert Symphony Orchestra.

Love Actually is one star-studded film from 2003, which elegantly shows the vulnerability of falling in love and intelligent, grotesque humor. Together, it becomes a gem of Christmas magic.

The film takes place in London in December, where different people for better or for worse struggling with love and falling in love: It is among other, the newly elected prime minister, the sandwich delivery man and the abdicated the rock star. And many many more.

What they all have in common is that they take a few chances and now stand much at stake. This results in a number of comical and sad situations with lots of emotion and drama. As most of us can nod in recognition to, from the heady rush of happiness to total humiliation...

Look forward to experiencing Keira Knightley, Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Colin Firth, and Hugh Grant and many more reach the concert hall turn on the Christmas spirit to the fullest and show Love Actually live symphony orchestra.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Orchestra - Freiheitshalle


Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The original film with live orchestra
Can you solve this puzzle? “A little hat with feathers, a crossbow over his shoulder – but he’s not a hunter. A silver interwoven dress with a train to the ball – but she’s not a princess.” Guessed? Then you too are part of the huge fan base who can not only recite these sentences from the classic fairy tale “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” by heart. There are now entire families who happily sit in front of the television at Christmas time and follow Cinderella on her ride through deep snow-covered forests - despite the ridicule of her pompous stepmother and stepsister, straight into the arms of the prince. For them, the Czech cult film from 1973 is as much a part of Christmas as candlelight and the smell of fresh pine needles. This year it can be seen again in the Nuremberg Meistersingerhalle in a brilliant cinema format.

Also included: Karel Svoboda's music, played live by a large live orchestra, synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures on the big screen. Shortly after his Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West, and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness - hardly distinguishable from the anticipation of the festival...

Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The original film with live orchestra
Who doesn't know the theme song of the Christmas classic “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” ? For over 50 years, the fairytale heroine has been riding dreamily on her gray horse Santa Claus through snow-covered landscapes, delighting generations of viewers. Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for great happiness and shows the prince exactly where to go right from the first encounter in the forest. Headstrong and with his heart in the right place - that's what defines the film to this day. Since its first broadcast in 1973, the light-hearted film fairy tale with its snowy backdrop and wintry-romantic atmosphere has been an integral part of the Christmas program. This cinematic Christmas miracle is due to strange circumstances: the original script called for Cinderella to run across “blooming meadows”; But because the film studios for the Czech-German co-production were already scheduled for the summer, the director left Václav Vorlíček simply moved the story to winter.

Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has regularly sold out concert halls at Christmas time in German-speaking countries, whose podiums are transformed into the setting for the enchanting love story. While the fairytale film plays on a large screen, the film soundtrack by Karel Svoboda is played live by the Prague Royal Philharmonic under the direction of Heiko Mathias Förster and synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness in the audience.

For some, roasted almonds are a must at Christmas time, for others it has to be hazelnuts - exactly three pieces.

Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The original film with live orchestra
Who doesn't know the theme song of the Christmas classic “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” ? For over 50 years, the fairytale heroine has been riding dreamily on her gray horse Santa Claus through snow-covered landscapes, delighting generations of viewers. Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, fights for great happiness and shows the prince exactly where to go right from the first encounter in the forest. Headstrong and with his heart in the right place - that's what defines the film to this day. Since its first broadcast in 1973, the light-hearted film fairy tale with its snowy backdrop and wintry-romantic atmosphere has been an integral part of the Christmas program. This cinematic Christmas miracle is due to strange circumstances: the original script called for Cinderella to run across “blooming meadows”; But because the film studios for the Czech-German co-production were already scheduled for the summer, the director left Václav Vorlíček simply moved the story to winter.

Once again, the beautiful Cinderella and her prince can look forward to a very special stage: For several years now, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has regularly sold out concert halls at Christmas time in German-speaking countries, whose podiums are transformed into the setting for the enchanting love story. While the fairytale film plays on a large screen, the film soundtrack by Karel Svoboda is played live by the Prague Royal Philharmonic under the direction of Heiko Mathias Förster and synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures. Shortly after the Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the enchanting melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness in the audience.

Love Actually – in Concert

Program Info:
Craig Armstrong - Love Actually

Funny, irresistible and heartwarming - "Love Actually" is set in London in the run-up to Christmas and tells a variety of interwoven love stories - sometimes romantic, sometimes sad, sometimes silly, but all charming in their own way . After celebrated performances in previous years, we are presenting this classic again this year at the KKL Lucerne.

Everywhere you look, love seems to be causing chaos. From the new bachelor prime minister who falls in love 30 seconds after entering Downing Street; about an unsuccessful sandwich delivery man who has no chance with girls in the UK and so moves to Wisconsin; of an abandoned writer who flees to the south of France to nurse his broken heart; of an ageing rock star determined to make a comeback at any cost;

of a bride who is distressed by her husband's best man and of a married woman who has problems with her husband; about a student who has a crush on the prettiest girl in school and his stepfather who has a crush on the mother of one of his son's classmates.

"Love Actually" has become a beautiful Christmas tradition for many - now you can experience the film in a unique way: The 70-member City Light Symphony Orchestra plays the touching music by Craig Armstrong while the entire film is shown on the big screen.

Let yourself be captivated by “Love Actually” and its star ensemble and experience their charm and humour as a Christmas concert treat.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Saarlandhalle Saarbrücken


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Home Alone – in Concert
City Light Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kevin Griffiths - KKL


Program Info:
John Williams - Home Alone

Who doesn’t know “Home Alone” ?! Experience the comedy classic “Home Alone” with the film music by John Williams in new splendour at the KKL Lucerne.

With “Home Alone” director Chris Columbus had a surprise hit in 1990. Since then, the funny and heartwarming comedy about Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) has become an integral part of Christmas. The thematic film music and songs such as Somewhere in My Memory and Stars of Bethlehem by John Williams and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse make a substantial contribution to this. Williams creates irresistible holiday magic with celesta, glockenspiel, dancing strings, warm woodwinds and vocals, which the City Light Symphony Orchestra and the choir will celebrate during this year's Christmas at the KKL Lucerne.

At the centre of the action in “Home Alone” is the bright 8-year-old boy Kevin. He is the youngest member of the turbulent extended McCallister family, living in a suburb of Chicago.

When they all want to go on a Christmas vacation to Paris, Kevin is accidentally forgotten at home. However, Kevin doesn't want to let this ruin his Christmas when he's home alone. He enjoys the “storm-free place” and gets in the mood for Christmas. But he increasingly misses his family and he also has to find out that the burglar duo Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern) - also known as the wet bandits - are after his family's belongings. However, he wants to defend this decisively.

Let Kevin, the festive and action-packed film music by John Williams and the over 100 musicians of the City Light Symphony Orchestra and the choir get you in the mood for this year's Christmas. “Home Alone” is film-concert fun for the whole family!

Love Actually in Concert
Prague Royal Philharmonic conducted by Gottfried Rabl - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Craig Armstrong - Love Actually

Everyone associates different beautiful things with Christmas - for many people, "Love Actually" is one of them: Richard Curtis' film classic from 2003 puts you in a wonderfully romantic mood just in time for the holiday. No wonder, after all, the episodic film is about the most beautiful of all feelings ten times. In the interwoven stories, people fall in love or have heartbreak, embark on amorous adventures or find a partner for life. The film's cast includes countless stars, including Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Rowan Atkinson, Alan Rickman, Claudia Schiffer, Heike Makatsch and Keira Knightley.

But the music also plays a major role, with many famous songs such as “Christmas Is All Around”, “All You Need Is Love” and “Jump (For My Love)”. The award-winning film composer Craig Armstrong wrote the wonderfully romantic score. On December 25th and 26th, 2024, the romantic-musical film can be with live accompaniment by the Prague Royal Philharmonic experienced back in the Isarphilharmonie . Christmas couldn't end any better!

Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel
Prague Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Heiko Mathias Förster - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Karel Svoboda - Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel

The original film with live orchestra
Can you solve this puzzle? “A little hat with feathers, a crossbow over his shoulder – but he’s not a hunter. A silver interwoven dress with a train to the ball – but she’s not a princess.” Guessed? Then you too are part of the huge fan base who can not only recite these sentences from the classic fairy tale “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” by heart. There are now entire families who happily sit in front of the television at Christmas time and follow Cinderella on her ride through deep snow-covered forests - despite the ridicule of her pompous stepmother and stepsister, straight into the arms of the prince. For them, the Czech cult film from 1973 is as much a part of Christmas as candlelight and the smell of fresh pine needles. This year it can be seen again in the Nuremberg Meistersingerhalle in a brilliant cinema format.

Also included: Karel Svoboda's music, played live by a large live orchestra, synchronized scene by scene with the romantic and funny adventures on the big screen. Shortly after his Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first orders from the West, and his theme tunes for animated films such as “Maya the Bee”, “Wickie” and “Nils Holgersson” were created. But only the melody to which the princess races through the snow on her white horse can evoke such blissful feelings of happiness - hardly distinguishable from the anticipation of the festival...

City Lights - Film and music by Charles Chaplin
National Philharmonic Orchestra of Russia conducted by Vladimir Spivakov - Moscow International Performing Arts Center, Svetlanovsky Hall


Program Info:
Charles Chaplin - City Lights

The screening of one of the most famous films of silent cinema - the film "City Lights", in which Charlie Chaplin first acted as a composer, will take place in the Svetlanov Hall of the House of Music. The film will be shown live with the Russian National Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vladimir Spivakov.

“City Lights” is a famous silent film by Charlie Chaplin, shot in 1931, when directors had already begun working on sound films. In this film, Chaplin traditionally performed in several roles - as a screenwriter, director, leading actor, producer, choreographer and, for the first time, as a composer. The film still ranks first among the 10 best romantic comedies according to the American Film Institute.

The music for the film was orchestrated and arranged by Arthur Johnston and Alfred Newman, but Chaplin himself carefully analysed the score and made adjustments. “I needed graceful, romantic music that would contrast with the image of the tramp and give emotional depth to my comedies,” he said. “Music should not compete with me, but serve as a counterpoint to grace and charm in the film, expressing feelings...” (Charlie Chaplin).

“Chaplin is a great poet who deeply penetrated into the essence of human nature,” says Vladimir Spivakov. – He appeals to the best sides of our soul. He was a man who understood well that we are all on the edge of an abyss and that human life is a memory of one fleeting day spent as a guest. Chaplin showed us the fragility of human life... He showed us that we need to believe and hope and that real feeling can overcome many things.”

The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others - A Celebration of Filmmusic
Hollywood Film Orchestra - Muziekgebouw


Program Info:
The best film music experience of the year presented by a special guest from "Pirates of the Caribbean"!

The symphonic world of Hans Zimmer with music from James Bond, The Lion King, The Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar, Top Gun, Dune and more!

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others” is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all age groups, film buffs, music lovers and families. The best music is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film fragments. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from “The Lion King,” Zimmer's most beloved blockbuster.

No other composer has influenced the film world as much as Oscar, Globe and Emmy-winning composer Hans Zimmer over the past twenty years with his stunning 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 wrote the film scores for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022), after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work will be featured 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 the film's score before - rather than after - filming, thus shaping the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and the world-famous director moved to Hans Zimmer's studio.

The Hollywood Film Orchestra was founded for this concert series and usually works with state orchestras from Europe. It has performed in the world's leading halls, from the Koncerthuset in Copenhagen to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, from Großes Festspielhaus Salzburg to Salle Pleyel in Paris, from Laeiszhalle Hamburg to Tonhalle Zürich.

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ben Palmer - Isarphilharmonie


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ben Palmer - Isarphilharmonie


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Tonhalle Düsseldorf


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Stadthalle Bremerhaven


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Music of Harry Potter Live in Concert
Großes Orchester, Solisten und Chor der Cinema Festival Symphonics - Stadthalle


Program Info:
For 20 years, the “Harry Potter” films have captivated people around the world and across generations. The iconic film music, which was composed by John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicolas Hooper and Alexander Desplat, particularly contributes to this. The famous "Hedwig's Theme", which is now considered the main theme of the film series, can probably be hummed by almost anyone - and it will give you goosebumps!

"The Music of Harry Potter - Live in Concert" is a magical evening of a very special kind. It combines the musical highlights of the "Harry Potter" films and the play "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" into a unique experience.
Spectacular light and screen animations

Using state-of-the-art technology, the large ensemble of the Cinema Festival Symphonics will take Harry Potter fans on a musical journey through all 8 “Harry Potter” films. Soloists, choir and orchestra celebrate the unique power of sound, which allows you to fully immerse yourself in the world of magic and, together with elaborate screen animations and visual effects, creates a rollercoaster of emotions.
The program

Pure goosebumps when "Hedwig's Theme" takes the audience to Hogwarts or the choir performs "Double Trouble".

“The Night Bus” brings an exuberant atmosphere with the rapid ride of the knight-errant.

Things get mystical with “Black Lake” when the audience dives into the Black Lake with Harry and into the realm of the merpeople.

After all, not a single eye stays dry when Hermione disappears from her parents' lives in "Obliviate" and the whole of Hogwarts says goodbye to its beloved headmaster in "Dumbledore's Farewell".

This journey into the magical world of Harry Potter does not begin on platform 9 ¾, but directly in the concert hall!

The Best of Hans Zimmer
Großes Orchester, Solisten & Chor der Cinema Festival Symphonics conducted by Stephen Ellery - Stadthalle


Program Info:
Powerful. Nice. Stunning. This is how the music of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer can be described.

The extraordinary and modern melodies of the “Hollywood Rebels” (according to the BBC) inspire a huge, worldwide fan base. Hans Zimmer has created countless international cinema blockbusters, including: "Dune", "James Bond - No Time to Die", "The Lion King", "Gladiator", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight", " Last Samurai,” “Top Gun: Maverick.”

In 2024, the successful show “The Best Of Hans Zimmer” will receive a new musical program and the title of the show “The Symphonic Dimension” already indicates: there will be a brand new selection from Hans Zimmer's diverse musical work.

The audience is taken on a great, impressive musical journey into the powerful sound world of the world's most successful film composer.

Hans Zimmer himself says: “I want to preserve the culture of the orchestra and bring the unique facets of orchestral music back to the audience.”

In 2024, Stephen Ellery will continue to unleash the magic of Hans Zimmer's masterful soundtracks as artistic director and, together with outstanding and renowned soloists, present the music in a new "symphonic dimension".

The soloists, choir and orchestra of the Cinema Festival Symphonics, which have been internationally successful for many years, show their great skills here and offer a lively, exciting live experience in all its glory!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Deutsches Haus


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

The James Bond Concert Retreat
Q The Music Show conducted by Warren Ringham - Pinewood Hotel


Program Info:
The idea is to come and share a weekend with the band in a more up close, highly social & interative, informal and personal setting. You can come on stage when we are playing – stand in amongst the band while we play, ask questions and we’ll explain how we bring it all together, we’ll be performing a very special set list (see below) with special cues as well as some of the core main themes - watch us put it together and then perform it for you.

We’ll also have our (simple to use) tech monitoring setups for you to try - Use our in-ear systems to listen in and isolate individual instruments. Want to listen to the Bass? No problem. Want to listen to Piano? No problem - make your own mix and see how the elements make up the Q The Music Sound.

As part of the day there is a Q&A where you can ask the band all your questions, and during the evening there is a 3-course dinner, where band members sit at each table.

It really is an amazing experience – the 2024 retreat was a sell out and a runaway success, with 100% incredible feedback, so the 2025 is on sale now!

You can get several different ticket options: Performance only, performance & dinner, performance, dinner and overnight accommodation.


Here are some quotes from last year:

“A perfect weekend. To be on stage watching them is something you never get to do. It was a must do experience, can’t recommend it highly enough!”

“Having seen Q The Music lots including the West End and 02, I can say the retreat immersive event was an amazing experience. To stand with the brass while they were playing and chat to everyone was another level and I can’t wait for the next one.”

“Three words from the retreat for me: laughter, love and family. If you can get yourself to the retreat, do it, as it’s the best time you’ll have”

“The retreat was something completely out of this world. What made it so special was the up close and personal experience. If you get the chance to go – do it, you won’t be disappointed”

“I’m still on a buzz from the retreat! An amazing experience”

Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed (1926)
Steven Kamperman, Eric Vloeimans, Esat Ekincioğlu + Hamid Reza Behzadian - Muziekgebouw


Program Info:
Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed (1926), animated movie by Lotte Reiniger with music by Steven Kamperman

Steven Kamperman alto clarinet, melodica, drums
Eric Vloeimans trumpet
Esat Ekincioğlu double bass
Hamid Reza Behzadian Indian guitar, harmonica, lap steel

Eastern melodies accompany the oldest stop-motion film full of colourful sets

Steven Kamperman created a new soundtrack for this enchanting film. Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed (The Adventures of Prince Achmed) is the oldest surviving feature-length animated film and one of the few surviving early films made by a woman. In this performance, the expressive animation art of Lotte Reiniger forms the visual part of a musically adventurous journey, in which the melodic richness of the East blends with contemporary composed sounds and spiced improvisations.

With artistic freedom, this unique rendition of One Thousand and One Nights brings to life a flying horse, a magical lamp, playful fairies, and evil spirits. Astonishingly detailed, hand-cut silhouettes come to life with stop-motion animation against colourful backdrops. Prince Achmed serves as our hero and guide in a dazzling fairytale world, but the shape-shifting sorcerer steals the show.

German National Orchestra conducted by Wayne Marshall - Cadogan Hall


Program Info:
German National Orchestra
German-British Choir Academy chorus
Wayne Marshall, conductor/piano

From Manhattan to Mars: Germany’s brightest young orchestra joins the conductor, pianist and all-round phenomenon Wayne Marshall in Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Holst’s The Planets.

Everyone has their favourite bit of The Planets, whether it’s the warlike rhythms of Mars, the blissful calm of Venus, or the majesty of Jupiter. But Holst’s masterpiece is a lot more than just magnificent melodies – it’s a voyage to the outer limits of the human spirit.

Tonight, Wayne Marshall takes this superb young German orchestra to infinity and beyond, in a musical odyssey that opens with the raw imagination of Britten’s ever-popular Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, before Marshall plays Gershwin’s showstopping Rhapsody in Blue the way Gershwin did – directing from the piano.

In other words, it’s an evening of towering tunes and sheer inspiration, even before we set off for the stars…

‘Marshall conducted and played with amazing versatility and strength… outstanding’ (MDTheatreGuide.com)

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Theater am Potzdammer Platz


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Music of Game of Thrones & House of Dragon
Czech Symphonie Orchestra conducted by Franz Bader - Meistersingerhalle, Großer Saal


Program Info:
Image for the event
Dramatic drum roll, dark cello sounds, oriental-tinged melodies – the music for the “Game of Thrones” series is as complex as its plot and characters. The soundtrack by the German-Iranian Ramin Djawadi underlines everything that made the television series a global success: the fight between good and evil, feelings between love and hate and the dark obsession of the main characters.

The concert evening “The Music of Game of Thrones” is entirely dedicated to the music of the series. Under the musical direction of Franz Bader, the 50 musicians of the Czech Symphony Orchestra, a choir and the vocal soloist Franziska Bader interpret the seemingly endless variations of the soundtrack. A spectacular light show provides the visual accompaniment.
The monumental orchestral work develops its own dynamic and overwhelms the listener. A musical evening as gripping as the series itself.

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Oberfrankenhalle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Amadeus - Live In Concert
Orchestra and Choir - Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier at Place des Arts


Program Info:
Experience the multi-Academy Award® winning 1984 motion picture, Amadeus on a vast HD screen while Mozart’s most celebrated works are performed live in-sync by a full orchestra and choir.

Winner of 8 Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Milos Foreman’s sumptuous Amadeus is an aural and visual treat for all the senses. Set against the backdrop of Vienna, the film unravels the gripping tale of court composer Antonio Salieri. Consumed by envy upon discovering that the genius he longed for has been bestowed upon the bawdy, vulgar, and impish young composer, Mozart, Salieri's emotions fuel a plot to destroy the man. Yet, paradoxically, he finds himself unable to tear away from the sheer brilliance of Mozart's music.

An unforgettable experience as we bring "Amadeus" to life!

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in concert
Dresdner Philharmonie conducted by Benjamin Pope - Kulturpalast, Konsertsaal


Program Info:
John Williams - Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

George Lucas completed the original trilogy of his "Star Wars" saga in 1983 with "Return of the Jedi". Cult figures such as Yoda and Darth Vader, fantastic locations such as the desert planet Tatooine or the second Death Star and Oscar-winning special effects continue to fascinate viewers of all ages to this day. The space epic achieved cult status not least thanks to the award-winning soundtrack by John Williams. A galactic journey of cinema and sound awaits viewers and listeners when the third film in the science fiction saga comes to the Kulturpalast for the first time. While the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Benjamin Pope, plays the impressive soundtrack live, the film will be shown in full length on a large screen.

The second, even more powerful Death Star, which is to seal the final downfall of the rebels, is nearing completion. The rebels unite their forces on the moon of Endor to fight from there against the Empire and thus the dark side of the Force. Meanwhile, Luke returns to the remote planet of Dagobah to complete his Jedi Knight training with Master Yoda. He learns from him that he must face his father, Darth Vader, one last time. As the attack on the Death Star begins, the lightsaber duel between father and son resumes. Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Ben Palmer - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Congress-Union Celle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

Howard Shores Welterfolg: Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit - Das Konzert

Program Info:
Howard Shore - Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit

Peter Jackson is already celebrating the 20th anniversary of his global film success! The music of hobbits and orcs comes to you in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra.
The journey to Middle-earth

The menacing sounds of Mordor and the sound of the black riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves - the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth.

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work. His motifs are elementary when the ring unfolds its power and corrupts the bearer of all power: a parable with great current relevance.

Accompanied by violins, trumpets and timpani, the ensemble, soloists and choir take the audience into the Shire, through the landscape of Rohan and to Mount Doom.

The melodic sounds of flutes and violins are supported in the background by green landscapes and dark scenarios on the screen. Animations specially developed for the production give this symphonic event an additional dimension. Have fun in Middle-earth!

“The last Goodbye” and “Far over the Misty Mountains cold” are performed by powerful vocal soloists who give the well-known songs a personal touch. “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert” is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Sound, atmospheric, unique!
Impressive light and screen animation

Using state-of-the-art technology, the Cinema Festival Symphonics take Middle-earth fans and fantasy lovers on a musical journey through all “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit” films. The impressive light and screen animations flow harmoniously with the legendary melodies and enhance the atmosphere of each individual song.

The ensemble celebrates a unique power of sound that allows the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the world of fantasy and provides many goosebumps!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Congress Centrum Würzburg


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Vampyr (1932)
Metrocelli + Martin de Ruiter - Muziekgebouw, Grote Zaal


Program Info:
Vampyr (1932), a film by Carl Theodor Dreyer with music by Metrocelli en Martin de Ruiter

Credits
Metrocelli:
Joel Siepmann cello
Emile Visser cello
Annie Tångberg cello
Jascha Albracht cello
Martin de Ruiter bandoneon

Surrealist film with a mesmerising score for cellos and bandoneon

Those who previously saw the expressionist Nosferatu will now discover a completely different approach to the vampire genre. Surrealism takes centre stage in the 1932 film Vampyr. Director Dreyer drew inspiration from the ghost stories of Irish writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. The four cellists of Metrocelli and bandoneonist Martin de Ruiter capture the eerie atmosphere of Dreyer's images in a mesmerising score.

A young man fascinated by the occult travels to the village of Courtempierre, where he begins to experience sinister ghostly visions. The film, shot on location and featuring ingenious special effects, seems to hover between the world of the living and the dead. Dreyer’s use of non-linear storytelling reinforces the feeling of being trapped in a disturbing dream.

Orchestra - Maritim Hotel / Congress Centrum Ulm


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

The extraordinary and modern melodies of the “Hollywood Rebels” (according to the BBC) inspire a huge, worldwide fan base. Hans Zimmer has created countless international cinema blockbusters, including: "Dune", "James Bond - No Time to Die", "The Lion King", "Gladiator", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight", " Last Samurai,” “Top Gun: Maverick.”

Artistic direction: Stephen Ellery

The magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer together in a unique concert experience, with orchestra, soloists, choir and screen animations that touches and inspires! This is The Lion King – The Music live in Concert.

Film legend Hans Zimmer and Sir Elton John

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has shaped the globally successful animated film “The Lion King” for 27 years now: African rhythms and sounds paired with monumental, epic melodies. Sir Elton John's poignant hits such as "Hakuna Matata", "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are timeless and composed for eternity.

The great voices of the star soloists fascinate the audience with their grace and skill. Every note they hit gives each song an unparalleled depth. In their impressive performances they breathe life into the well-known characters. In the midst of this symphonic performance, the choir shines as they bring the film's well-known melodies to life with their harmonious singing. Goosebumps - when the orchestral version of the iconic film songs is played with the full cast.

The audience immerses themselves directly in the world of Simba, Nala and Co. when the songs are emotionalised with artistic screen animations. The cheerful rhythms of “Der Morgenreport” put you in a good mood. Very emotional when the orchestra takes the audience into the tragic death of Mufasa and evokes deep feelings and serves up the best entertainment in “Hakuna Matata”.

Soloists, choir and orchestra from the Cinema Festival Symphonics under the direction of Stephen Ellery from London have already thrilled audiences with concert performances of “Game of Thrones”, “The Music of Star Wars” and “The Music of Harry Potter”. . The ensemble is known for their emotional, faithful, powerful sound, which immerses the audience directly into the film's themes.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - CC Weimarhalle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - CongressCentrum Großer Saal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari
Karl Bartos - Prinzregententheater


Program Info:
Robert Wiene's silent film classic from 1920 with new film music composed by ex-Kraftwerk musician Karl Bartos

The silent film “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” by Robert Wiene from 1920 is an absolute classic and is considered the first psychological thriller in film history. One person who has dealt particularly intensively with this milestone in the history of expressionist film is the composer and musician Karl Bartos - better known to many as a long-time band member and co-composer of Kraftwerk. Karl Bartos, a classically trained musician, has had a passion for this German silent film for almost 20 years. Now he has created a new, experimentally interpreted sound for the film. This new film music will premiere at the Alte Oper Frankfurt in February 2024. The digitally restored film version in 4K resolution meets Karl Bartos' film music, which he live on stage with his partner Mathias Black . plays and controls

Bartos is guided by the rhythm and tempo of the scenes. The most important means of expression for him was the timeless sound of the symphony orchestra, of course synthetically produced and electronically modulated. We hear melodies in the Bachian tradition of the Baroque era and the early Romanticism of Mozart, we hear the dissonances of Arnold Schönberg, the disturbing metrical playing of Stravinsky and Philip Glass' harsh dramatic repetitions. Outside of the classical tradition, there are the folksy bricolage sounds of the fairground barrel organ, lapel tape effects, and sounds that would fit right in with a classic-era Kraftwerk album.

Welcome, bienvenue, welcome: Fabien Gabel, the Tonkunstler's designated chief conductor, creates a beguiling sound bouquet for this concert with blossoms from Fin de Siècle, Art Nouveau and Viennese Modernism, which he particularly wants to cherish and nurture. How deeply rooted Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who was ostracised by the Nazis, was in the Viennese sound tradition is demonstrated by his fantasy about melodies by Johann Strauss Sohn as well as his famous violin concerto, which he wrote for Jascha Heifetz in the USA in 1947: voluptuous, capricious, grand. A bravura piece for the Dutch violinist Simone Lamsma – and an orchestral bravura piece also follows after the break, the suite from the ballet “Schlagobers” by Richard Strauss. All waltzes!

Erich Wolfgang Korngold - «History of Strauss» op. 21

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Auditorio de Zaragoza


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Peter Jackson is already celebrating the 20th anniversary of his global film success! The music of hobbits and orcs comes to you in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra.
The journey to Middle-earth

The menacing sounds of Mordor and the sound of the black riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves - the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth.

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work.

The melodic sounds of flutes and violins are supported in the background by green landscapes and dark scenarios on the screen. Animations specially developed for the production give this symphonic event an additional dimension. Have fun in Middle-earth!

“The last Goodbye” and “Far over the Misty Mountains cold” are performed by powerful vocal soloists who give the well-known songs a personal touch. “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert” is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Sound, atmospheric, unique!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Messe+Congress Centrum Halle Münsterland


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Program Info:

A child prodigy in Vienna, Erich Korngold had published dozens of works by the time he was 25. As the Nazis threatened Europe, Korngold accepted an invitation from motion picture director Max Reinhardt to create the music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream—the beginning of an Oscar-winning career that would help shape the golden age of Hollywood. In his Violin Concerto you can hear themes and melodies from his scores for Another Dawn, Anthony Adverse, and The Prince and the Pauper. Hear this dramatic work performed by a violinist who “ranks among the greatest instrumentalists of our time” (Seattle Times), Leonidas Kavakos.

Closing this beautiful program is Brahms’s Fourth Symphony, a brilliant study in contrasts from dark mystery to sunlit joy. From its sweetly sad opening to its swirling flourish of a finale, this dynamic masterwork leaves the listener breathless.

After all, not a single eye stays dry when Hermione disappears from her parents' lives in "Obliviate" and the whole of Hogwarts says goodbye to its beloved headmaster in "Dumbledore's Farewell".

The Best of Hans Zimmer
Großes Orchester, Solisten & Chor der Cinema Festival Symphonics conducted by Stephen Ellery - Stadthalle


Program Info:
Powerful. Nice. Stunning. This is how the music of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer can be described.

The extraordinary and modern melodies of the “Hollywood Rebels” (according to the BBC) inspire a huge, worldwide fan base. Hans Zimmer has created countless international cinema blockbusters, including: "Dune", "James Bond - No Time to Die", "The Lion King", "Gladiator", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight", " Last Samurai,” “Top Gun: Maverick.”

In 2024, the successful show “The Best Of Hans Zimmer” will receive a new musical program and the title of the show “The Symphonic Dimension” already indicates: there will be a brand new selection from Hans Zimmer's diverse musical work.

The audience is taken on a great, impressive musical journey into the powerful sound world of the world's most successful film composer.

Hans Zimmer himself says: “I want to preserve the culture of the orchestra and bring the unique facets of orchestral music back to the audience.”

In 2024, Stephen Ellery will continue to unleash the magic of Hans Zimmer's masterful soundtracks as artistic director and, together with outstanding and renowned soloists, present the music in a new "symphonic dimension".

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Max-Reger-Halle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

As the Nazis threatened Europe, Korngold accepted an invitation from motion picture director Max Reinhardt to create the music for A Midsummer Night’s Dream—the beginning of an Oscar-winning career that would help shape the golden age of Hollywood. In his Violin Concerto you can hear themes and melodies from his scores for Another Dawn, Anthony Adverse, and The Prince and the Pauper. Hear this dramatic work performed by a violinist who “ranks among the greatest instrumentalists of our time” (Seattle Times), Leonidas Kavakos.

Closing this beautiful program is Brahms’s Fourth Symphony, a brilliant study in contrasts from dark mystery to sunlit joy. From its sweetly sad opening to its swirling flourish of a finale, this dynamic masterwork leaves the listener breathless.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Stadthalle Bielefeld


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - CongressPark Wolfsburg


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

After all, not a single eye stays dry when Hermione disappears from her parents' lives in "Obliviate" and the whole of Hogwarts says goodbye to its beloved headmaster in "Dumbledore's Farewell".

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Festhalle Pirmasens


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Sound of James Bond, Licenced to Thrill

Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts and the wild chases. And the music of the James Bond films is always spectacular. There's the unmistakable title tune that's been around since «Dr. No» accompanied all 25 Bond films. And like the license to kill and the vodka martini, the unmistakable theme song is part of every new 007 thriller. The classics by Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele and many other top artists are legendary.

The 21st Century Orchestra, vocal soloists and a band let the legendary soundtracks of "Goldfinger", "From Russia With Love", "GoldenEye", "Skyfall", "No Time To Die" and many more ring out in the concert hall.

With music from John Barry, Monty Norman, Eric Serra, Thomas Newman, Hans Zimmer and others

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
Deutsche Philharmonie Merck conducted by Ben Palmer - Liederhalle, Beethovensaal


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

Program Info:
David Arnold - Casino Royale

Get ready for a night of action and suspense as the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra presents Casino Royale in concert. Immerse yourself in the world of James Bond with Daniel Craig in his debut as 007 and David Arnold's gripping score performed live. In the film, Bond is on assignment to play against a private banker funding terrorists in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale in Montenegro. This cinematic and musical journey will leave you shaken…not stirred.

A few things to know:

Award-winning composer David Arnold skillfully integrates the classic Bond theme into the movie’s score in a subtle and unique way, avoiding using the full theme until the end of the film, symbolizing Bond’s full transformation into the agent known from earlier films.
Arnold’s credits include scoring five James Bond films, as well as Independence Day (1996), Godzilla (1998), and the television series Little Britain, Sherlock, and Good Omens.
Casino Royale is an adaptation of Ian Fleming's very first James Bond novel, published in 1953. This adaptation stayed closer to the original plot of the book compared to previous Bond films, which often took more creative liberties. The decision to follow Fleming's original story more closely was part of the broader effort to reboot the franchise with a more realistic and grounded portrayal of the character

Artistic direction: Stephen Ellery

The magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer together in a unique concert experience, with orchestra, soloists, choir and screen animations that touches and inspires! This is The Lion King – The Music live in Concert.

Film legend Hans Zimmer and Sir Elton John

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has shaped the globally successful animated film “The Lion King” for 27 years now: African rhythms and sounds paired with monumental, epic melodies. Sir Elton John's poignant hits such as "Hakuna Matata", "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are timeless and composed for eternity.

The great voices of the star soloists fascinate the audience with their grace and skill. Every note they hit gives each song an unparalleled depth. In their impressive performances they breathe life into the well-known characters.

Soloists, choir and orchestra from the Cinema Festival Symphonics under the direction of Stephen Ellery from London have already thrilled audiences with concert performances of “Game of Thrones”, “The Music of Star Wars” and “The Music of Harry Potter”. .

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Best of Hans Zimmer
Großes Orchester, Solisten & Chor der Cinema Festival Symphonics conducted by Stephen Ellery - Meistersingerhalle


Program Info:
Powerful. Nice. Stunning. This is how the music of two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer can be described.

The extraordinary and modern melodies of the “Hollywood Rebels” (according to the BBC) inspire a huge, worldwide fan base. Hans Zimmer has created countless international cinema blockbusters, including: "Dune", "James Bond - No Time to Die", "The Lion King", "Gladiator", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Dark Knight", " Last Samurai,” “Top Gun: Maverick.”

In 2024, the successful show “The Best Of Hans Zimmer” will receive a new musical program and the title of the show “The Symphonic Dimension” already indicates: there will be a brand new selection from Hans Zimmer's diverse musical work.

The audience is taken on a great, impressive musical journey into the powerful sound world of the world's most successful film composer.

Hans Zimmer himself says: “I want to preserve the culture of the orchestra and bring the unique facets of orchestral music back to the audience.”

In 2024, Stephen Ellery will continue to unleash the magic of Hans Zimmer's masterful soundtracks as artistic director and, together with outstanding and renowned soloists, present the music in a new "symphonic dimension".

The soloists, choir and orchestra of the Cinema Festival Symphonics, which have been internationally successful for many years, show their great skills here and offer a lively, exciting live experience in all its glory!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Audimax


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Dr. Sieber Halle


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer

Soloists, choir and musicians of the Cinema Festival Symphonics
Artistic direction: Stephen Ellery

The magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer together in a unique concert experience, with orchestra, soloists, choir and screen animations that touches and inspires! This is The Lion King – The Music live in Concert.

Film legend Hans Zimmer and Sir Elton John

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has shaped the globally successful animated film “The Lion King” for 27 years now: African rhythms and sounds paired with monumental, epic melodies. Sir Elton John's poignant hits such as "Hakuna Matata", "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are timeless and composed for eternity.

The great voices of the star soloists fascinate the audience with their grace and skill. Every note they hit gives each song an unparalleled depth. In their impressive performances they breathe life into the well-known characters. In the midst of this symphonic performance, the choir shines as they bring the film's well-known melodies to life with their harmonious singing. Goosebumps - when the orchestral version of the iconic film songs is played with the full cast.

The audience immerses themselves directly in the world of Simba, Nala and Co. when the songs are emotionalised with artistic screen animations. The cheerful rhythms of “Der Morgenreport” put you in a good mood. Very emotional when the orchestra takes the audience into the tragic death of Mufasa and evokes deep feelings and serves up the best entertainment in “Hakuna Matata”.

Soloists, choir and orchestra from the Cinema Festival Symphonics under the direction of Stephen Ellery from London have already thrilled audiences with concert performances of “Game of Thrones”, “The Music of Star Wars” and “The Music of Harry Potter”. . The ensemble is known for their emotional, faithful, powerful sound, which immerses the audience directly into the film's themes.

Howard Shore - Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit

Peter Jackson is already celebrating the 20th anniversary of his global film success! The music of hobbits and orcs comes to you in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra.
The journey to Middle-earth

The menacing sounds of Mordor and the sound of the black riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves - the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth.

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work. His motifs are elementary when the ring unfolds its power and corrupts the bearer of all power: a parable with great current relevance.

Accompanied by violins, trumpets and timpani, the ensemble, soloists and choir take the audience into the Shire, through the landscape of Rohan and to Mount Doom.

The melodic sounds of flutes and violins are supported in the background by green landscapes and dark scenarios on the screen. Animations specially developed for the production give this symphonic event an additional dimension. Have fun in Middle-earth!

“The last Goodbye” and “Far over the Misty Mountains cold” are performed by powerful vocal soloists who give the well-known songs a personal touch. “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert” is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Sound, atmospheric, unique!
Impressive light and screen animation

Using state-of-the-art technology, the Cinema Festival Symphonics take Middle-earth fans and fantasy lovers on a musical journey through all “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit” films. The impressive light and screen animations flow harmoniously with the legendary melodies and enhance the atmosphere of each individual song.

The ensemble celebrates a unique power of sound that allows the viewer to fully immerse themselves in the world of fantasy and provides many goosebumps!

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Theater- und Konzerthaus Solingen Pina-Bausch-Saal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“Star Wars” remains my favourite. This piece is truly timeless. The high registers of the violin, harp and celesta bring to mind distant galaxies, unexplored spaces and take us into the musical space of space - sums up conductor Maciej Sztor.
Songs performed by the orchestra and choir under the baton of Maciej Sztor. The spectacular setting of the concert will be provided by light illumination, film fragments and the most famous film frames.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Laeiszhalle Hamburg, Großer Saal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Theater der Stadt Marl


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Howard Shores Welterfolg: Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit - Das Konzert

Program Info:
Howard Shore - Der Herr der Ringe & Der Hobbit

Peter Jackson is already celebrating the 20th anniversary of his global film success! The music of hobbits and orcs comes to you in an impressive concert experience with soloists, choir and orchestra.

The menacing sounds of Mordor and the sound of the black riders, the beautiful lyrical melodies of the elves - the renowned Cinema Festival Symphonics transform reality into a musical setting of Middle-earth.

Howard Shore composed much of the music for the film trilogies “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” and received the Oscar, Grammys and the Golden Globe for his work. His motifs are elementary when the ring unfolds its power and corrupts the bearer of all power: a parable with great current relevance.

Accompanied by violins, trumpets and timpani, the ensemble, soloists and choir take the audience into the Shire, through the landscape of Rohan and to Mount Doom.

The melodic sounds of flutes and violins are supported in the background by green landscapes and dark scenarios on the screen. Animations specially developed for the production give this symphonic event an additional dimension. Have fun in Middle-earth!

“The last Goodbye” and “Far over the Misty Mountains cold” are performed by powerful vocal soloists who give the well-known songs a personal touch. “The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit – The Concert” is a fantastic evening of a very special kind. Sound, atmospheric, unique!
Impressive light and screen animation

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Parkhotel Kurhaus


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of John Williams live for the original film on the big screen

While the audience follows on a large screen as Harry masters his adventurous first school year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft, as he runs through eerie corridors and moving stairs or competes in Quidditch tournaments on a magic broom, the live sounds of a large orchestra provide for strong emotions: For the original film, the complete score of John Williams' legendary film music is brought to life in all its drama. The striking “Hedwig's Theme” can also be heard here for the first time, the mysterious motif that became the characteristic main melody in the subsequent films and reliably gives you goosebumps.
The movie with a large live orchestra

"You're a wizard, Harry." It is the orphan's eleventh birthday when the giant Hagrid utters the sentence that will turn Harry Potter's life upside down. Because the delicate boy with the round wire-rimmed glasses and the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead is not just any wizard: he alone is said to have the ability to break the power of the dark magician Voldemort.

The very successful novels not only captivated an entire generation worldwide, but also made millions of hearts beat faster in the cinema as an eight-part Hollywood blockbuster. Now the first part of the film saga “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” – one of the greatest cinema successes of our time – can be experienced on the big screen and with orchestral accompaniment.

But the ultimate battle is between father and son, as Luke faces Darth Vader one last time, for the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Osnabrückhalle - Europa-Saal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Korngold’s Violin Concerto
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Eduardo Strausser - Cadogan Hall


Program Info:
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Eduardo Strausser, Conductor
Liya Petrova, Violin

If you enjoy Dvořák’s ‘New World’ Symphony (No.9), you’re going to love his Eighth, which he wrote back home in the heart of Bohemia. Hymn tunes, birdsong and folk dances; village bands, summer sunsets and blazing triumph – they’re all here, in what might be the single happiest symphony by any great composer (and definitely one of the most tuneful). For guest conductor Eduardo Strausser, it’s a natural way to end a concert that positively glows with Central European sunshine. The award-winning violinist Liya Petrova steps into the limelight in Korngold’s soaring Violin Concerto – written in Hollywood by a composer with his heart in Vienna. And there’s a chance to discover a real neglected gem: the folk-inspired Suita Rustica by Vítězslava Kaprálová, who lit up Czech music between the wars.

Vítězslava Kaprálová - Suite Rustica
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts and the wild chases. And the music of the James Bond films is always spectacular. There's the unmistakable title tune that's been around since «Dr. No» accompanied all 25 Bond films. And like the license to kill and the vodka martini, the unmistakable theme song is part of every new 007 thriller. The classics by Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele and many other top artists are legendary.

The 21st Century Orchestra, vocal soloists and a band let the legendary soundtracks of "Goldfinger", "From Russia With Love", "GoldenEye", "Skyfall", "No Time To Die" and many more ring out in the concert hall.

Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert
Deutsche Philharmonie Merck conducted by Ben Palmer - Alte Oper


Program Info:
Lorne Balfe, Harold Faltermeyer, Lady Gaga, and Hans Zimmer - Top Gun: Maverick

Tony Scott's 1986 film "Top Gun" reached breathtaking heights, not least thanks to the world-famous song "Take My Breath Away" and the soundtrack by Harold Faltermeyer. Even back then there was speculation about a sequel to the screen epic and its film music. The sequel “Top Gun: Maverick” by Joseph Kosinski only followed 36 years later and is considered one of the most successful films of all time with six Oscar nominations and one Oscar win.

The film music experience “Top Gun: Maverick – in Concert” follows on from this. While the award-winning blockbuster is shown on the big screen, the 21st Century Orchestra, conducted by Ludwig Wicki, brings the soundtrack to life live at the KKL Lucerne.

“Is that even possible?” Tom Cruise, aka Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, answers this question confidently in 2022: “The answer lies solely with the captain in the cockpit.” Maverick, one of the Navy's best aviators, once again pushes the limits of what is possible, this time alongside the confident Natasha "Phoenix" Trace. Back at his old elite flying school “Top Gun”, he is supposed to prepare young pilots for a dangerous mission – and in doing so he meets the ghosts of his past.

Action-packed flight scenes and deep emotions are once again set to music by Harold Faltermeyer, supported by Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lady Gaga as well as Lorne Balfe as co-composers. Peppered with a breath of fresh air under the wings, the soundtrack continues the musical legacy of “Top Gun” from 1986.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Darmstadt Wissenschaft / Kongresse


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

SOFIA GUBAIDULINA - Fairytale Poem

ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD - Violin Concerto, op. 35 in D major, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

IGOR STRAVINSKY - Petrushka (1911)

A masterclass in musical storytelling, Stravinsky’s Petrushka mined Russian folk music to imagine the rich inner lives of dancing puppets. Soviet composer Sofia Gubaidulina crafted her own pointed fable about a piece of chalk that dwindles away in mindless busywork until it is liberated by a creative child, while leading opera and film composer Erich Korngold poured all of his dramatic gifts into his soaringly lyrical Violin Concerto. Award-winning violinist Gil Shaham uses his uniquely warm and poetic tone to kindle the Concerto’s “Old World” romantic sensibility.

Dalia Stasevska, conductor
Augustin Hadelich, violin

Prepare to be swept off your feet as Dalia Stasevska returns to Seattle with a program celebrating the rhythms of Mexico and Argentina. The Night of the Maya pulsates with a huge percussion section, traditional instruments and a full orchestra. Originally composing for a 1939 film score, Revueltas created an orchestral suite to give this music a life in the concert hall. Malambo illustrates the infectious rhythms of Argentinian gaucho dance traditions. And beloved collaborator Augustin Hadelich brings Prokofiev at his most wickedly daring with the First Violin Concerto — a concert that could very well raise the roof of Benaroya Hall.

Program
Alberto Ginastera - Malambo from Estancia
Sergey Prokofiev - Violin Concerto No. 1

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Kongresshaus Rosengarten


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

SOFIA GUBAIDULINA - Fairytale Poem

ERICH WOLFGANG KORNGOLD - Violin Concerto, op. 35 in D major, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

IGOR STRAVINSKY - Petrushka (1911)

A masterclass in musical storytelling, Stravinsky’s Petrushka mined Russian folk music to imagine the rich inner lives of dancing puppets. Soviet composer Sofia Gubaidulina crafted her own pointed fable about a piece of chalk that dwindles away in mindless busywork until it is liberated by a creative child, while leading opera and film composer Erich Korngold poured all of his dramatic gifts into his soaringly lyrical Violin Concerto. Award-winning violinist Gil Shaham uses his uniquely warm and poetic tone to kindle the Concerto’s “Old World” romantic sensibility.

For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in concert
Orchestra - Teatro Colón


Program Info:
John Williams - Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

George Lucas completed the original trilogy of his "Star Wars" saga in 1983 with "Return of the Jedi". Cult figures such as Yoda and Darth Vader, fantastic locations such as the desert planet Tatooine or the second Death Star and Oscar-winning special effects continue to fascinate viewers of all ages to this day. The space epic achieved cult status not least thanks to the award-winning soundtrack by John Williams. A galactic journey of cinema and sound awaits viewers and listeners when the third film in the science fiction saga comes to life.

The second, even more powerful Death Star, which is to seal the final downfall of the rebels, is nearing completion. The rebels unite their forces on the moon of Endor to fight from there against the Empire and thus the dark side of the Force. Meanwhile, Luke returns to the remote planet of Dagobah to complete his Jedi Knight training with Master Yoda. He learns from him that he must face his father, Darth Vader, one last time.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Cirkus Krone Bau


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Brucknerhaus, Großer Saal


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 6
Philharmonia Orchestra conducted by Martyn Brabbins - The Marlowe


Program Info:
Philharmonia Orchestra
Martyn Brabbins – conductor
Johan Dalene – violin

Transport yourself to the golden age of Hollywood with Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s Violin Concerto. Korngold made his name as one of the most influential film music composers of all time. His Violin Concerto borrows music from several of his film scores. Tonight it is in the hands of Gramophone’s 2022 Young Artist of the Year: Swedish-Norwegian virtuoso, Johan Dalene.

Opening the concert is Mozart’s overture to his opera The Abduction from the Seraglio. A testament to the strength and determination of love, the music is full of zeal and drama.

Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique Symphony closes our 2024/25 season at The Marlowe. Entitled “the passionate symphony” by the composer – and passionate it is – Tchaikovsky’s mighty symphony is the work of a composer at the top of his game. He gives us blazing brass, lyrical woodwind and heartfelt strings. Overturning the conventions of his day, he ends his final symphony with a devastating descent into silence.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Overture, The Abduction from the Seraglio
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Violin Concerto, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Congress - Saal Tirol


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Konzerthaus


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

Excerpt from the musical program:
The Lion King
Pirates of the Caribbean
Gladiator
Pearl Harbour
Interstellar
The Dark Knight
Dunkirk
Inception
Earth
Da Vinci Code
Man of Steel

Korngold's Violin Concerto
Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Thierry Fischer - Abravanel Hall


Program Info:
Utah Symphony Orchestra
Thierry Fischer, conductor
Clara-Jumi Kang, violin

South Korean-German violinist Clara-Jumi Kang makes her Utah Symphony debut with the Korngold Violin Concerto, which brings all the glitz and glamor expected from an Austrian who later found himself in Hollywood composing for films! Echoes of the “American Dream” are also heard in Amériques by French composer Varèse, who moved to America and was inspired by the sounds of industrial New York City.

Mexican composers past and present bookend the program. Revueltas warns of the dangers of cultural clashes, yet Gabriela Ortiz’ Téenek concludes the program, and the season, with the message that a hopeful future lies in recognizing each other’s respective identities and differences—and weaving them together to create something stronger than the sum of the parts.

Silvestre Revueltas: Noche de encantamiento (“Night of Enchantment”), music from the 1939 movie La noche de los mayas by Chano Urueta
EdgardVarèse: Amériques
Erich Wolfgang Korngold: Violin Concerto, op. 35 in D major, the concerto has themes from the scores for the movies ANOTHER DAWN (1937), ANTHONY ADVERSE (1936) & THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER (1937)

The music of Hans Zimmer & Others
Orchestra - Wasserschloss Klaffenbach


Program Info:
No other composer has influenced the film world in the past two decades as much as the Oscar, Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer with his staggering compositions for films such as The Lion King, Pirates of the Carribean, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Man of Steel, Inception and Interstellar. The visitors may expect a magnificant musical evening with a symphonic orchestra, choir, soloists, a lightshow and selected film excerpts.

Hans Zimmer became famous with his score for “Rain Man” and since then has helped to leverage numerous Hollywood mega-hits to success and dramatic-emotional impact. For the film score for Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk” Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

The audience will also learn about interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely altered the beginning of Gladiator with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid in the song text for Lion King in the native language and told the big Disney corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often named Ennio Morricone as his idol and role-model, whose repertoire will be feautured with excerpts from “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in America”.

Zimmer followed Morricones example of composing the film music before instead of after filming and shaped the entire work. For example he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, subsequently the world-famous director moved into the studio of Hans Zimmer, who is an artist with a social conscience and who also composed a song for the victims of the Batman cinema shooting in Aurora, as well as music against climate change – all of which will be heard in the program.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” will be performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir, as well as soprano Johanna Krumin, who will perform Gladiator and Ennio Morricone’s “Ecstasy of Gold” – in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Starsoloists from Broadway will perform excerpts from The Lin King, Zimmers most recent boxoffice-smash-hit.

“The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others – A Celebration of Filmmusic” is an unforgettable audiovisual event for all age groups, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.
