Program

Whether in distant universes, mystical magical worlds, or dark pirate coves: When the tension crackles in the cinema, and gripping heroic journeys move even die-hard film fans to tears and give them a pleasant tingling sensation, the soundtrack plays the main role. Only the breathtaking film score breathes life into the images and draws the audience into captivating fantasy worlds. Even the most brilliant cinematic display is not enough to unleash the truly profound and gripping emotions that make film classics and their heroes immortal. Conversely, legendary theme songs, even without a screen, unfold dreamlike images of nostalgic memories, familiar feelings, and goosebumps – for generations to come. Only masterful sound wizards like Hans Zimmer and John Williams succeed in making such unforgettable scores transcend the films. The music creators created hundreds of internationally renowned soundtracks for the dream factory of Hollywood, garnering awards as diverse as their oeuvre – from Oscars to Emmys – and achieving legendary status even during their lifetimes.

At the film music spectacle "The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams," audiences can experience the musical highlights of the two composers live. Following the great successes of recent years, poignant melodies from "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Harry Potter," "Dune," "Star Wars," "Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List," "Gladiator," "Interstellar," and many more are complemented by other film music highlights in a new program – brought symphonically to life by a large symphony orchestra and choir. A concert evening with a cinematic experience and truly outstanding listening experiences that unites not only film fans!

Music from the films "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Harry Potter," "Dune," "Star Wars," "Jurassic Park," "Schindler's List," "Gladiator," "Interstellar," and others.
