The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams at Philharmonie Berlin

About the Event

At the film music concert “The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams”, the audience can experience the musical highlights of the two composers live. Poignant melodies from “The Lion King”, “Harry Potter”, “Inception”, “Star Wars”, “Pirates of the Caribbean”, “E.T.”, “Pearl Harbor”, “Indiana Jones” and others are combined with other film music highlights to create a new program following the great successes of recent years — symphonically brought to life by the Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg under the direction of Christian Schumann. A concert evening with head cinema and truly excellent listening experiences that will not only unite film fans!

Whether in distant universes, mystical magical worlds or dark pirate bays: When the tension in the movie theater crackles, gripping hero's journeys move even hardened film fans to tears and give them a pleasant tingling sensation, the soundtrack plays the leading role. It is the breathtaking film music that breathes life into the images and draws the audience into captivating fantasy worlds. Even the most brilliant lighting is not enough to unleash the truly profound and gripping emotions that make classic films and their heroes immortal. On the other hand, legendary title tunes can conjure up dreamlike images of nostalgic memories, familiar feelings and goosebump‐inducing moments even without a screen — for generations to come.

Only masterful sound wizards such as Hans Zimmer and John Williams succeed in making such unforgettable soundtracks transcend the films. For the Hollywood dream factory, the music creators created hundreds of internationally renowned soundtracks, won prizes — from Oscars to Emmys — as diverse as their oeuvre and achieved legendary status during their lifetime.
