No other composer has influenced the world of film over the past two decades as much as Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy winner Hans Zimmer, with his incredible compositions for films such as “James Bond”, “The Lion King”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “Gladiator”, “The Dark Knight”, “Man of Steel”, “Inception” and “Interstellar”.
Born in Germany, Hans Zimmer rose to fame with “Rain Man” and has since helped countless Hollywood megahits achieve success and dramatic-emotional impact, including “Mission Impossible II,” “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Interstellar,” and “Batman.”
Audiences will learn about interesting backstories, such as how Hans Zimmer conveyed an anti-apartheid message in the lyrics of a song for “The Lion King” in the native language, telling Disney Corporation that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer cited Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose repertoire will include excerpts from “The Good, the Bad, the Ugly” and “Once Upon a Time in the West.” Zimmer followed Morricone’s example by composing the film score in advance, rather than after filming, which shaped the entire work. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator”, and then the world-famous director moved into Hans Zimmer’s studio. Zimmer, of Jewish descent, is an artist with a social conscience, composed a song for the victims of the Aurora cinema shooting, and music to oppose climate change, all of which will be heard in the program. This event does not screen the movie/s, it is an orchestra only event.
