Markus Huber, conductor The greatest soundtracks in film history performed live by a powerful symphony orchestra and choir with over 100 participants. With music from blockbusters such as Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Dune, Jurassic Park, Gladiator, Indiana Jones, Inception and more. Hans Zimmer has achieved something incredible: the German composer worked behind the scenes in Hollywood for decades, was barely visible to the general public - and yet is now as famous as a rock star. His outstanding soundtracks contributed to many films becoming blockbusters: from "The Lion King" and "Gladiator" to "Interstellar" and "Dune". Only one living film composer is as famous as him: the great John Williams. The US-American was nominated for an incredible 54 Oscars - he won the prize five times - and there is probably no more famous melody in the entire history of film than his fanfare for "Star Wars". These two composers have written a lot of brilliant music that everyone knows, that triggers nostalgic memories in moviegoers - and that creates strong emotions even without moving images. So it's no wonder that "The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams" has been a crowd-puller for years and sells out auditoriums across Germany. Now the project is entering the next round with a new program - with new musical highlights, orchestral sound power and nostalgic head cinema that makes film history audible.
