Hans zimmer live announces return to australia.

The film scoring mastermind, who’s amassed four Grammys and an Oscar throughout his lauded career, has locked in massive arena shows in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. The performances are set to dive into Zimmer’s extensive body of work as a film composer, featuring material from  Pirates Of The Caribbean, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, Interstellar, Blade Runner 2049  and more. 

In a statement heralding the announcement, Zimmer says that “Performing a concert series like ‘Hans Zimmer Revealed’ was something I always wanted to do in Australia and I’m thrilled that I got to do that in 2017. I’m now beyond excited that I’m able to do it all again in 2019, with a new show, and the help of some very talented friends.”

Given that Zimmer brought out the likes of Johnny Marr, Guthrie Govan and just about fifty other musicians on his last Australian tour, we’re pretty certain that these ones will be big. Check out all the dates and ticketing details below.

"...I was especially keen to go since the event was hosted by the affable blokes from the Art of the Score podcast, who made last year’s MSO celebration of John Williams’ music so fun and memorable. Once again, the engaging duo of Andrew Pogson and Dan Golding (and Nicholas Buc on the conducting duties) brought their wealth of knowledge and insight, as well as some adorkable humour and knowingly daggy dad jokes." - Yggdrasille Reviews "I have been to many concerts performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in my time, from full replica film scores to tributes to John Williams, and even compilations of gaming music. But I would have to say that this Hans Zimmer concert is right up there as one of the best I have experienced yet." - Lilithia Reviews

Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: The Music of Hans Zimmer – Live Review

Earlier this year, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra held sold out concerts dedicated to the work of Hans Zimmer. I was absolutely devastated that I missed out last time as Hans Zimmer is the music behind some of my all-time favourite films from The Lion King to Gladiator , Pirates of the Caribbean and Interstellar . Thankfully, the MSO added a set of encore performances celebrating Zimmer’s iconic soundscapes and this time, I was not going to miss out!

Presented by Art of the Score , Andrew Pogson and Dr Dan Golding , The Music of Hans Zimmer is a musical journey through the life and works of Hans Zimmer . Conducted by Nicholas Buc , the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performed several suites and tracks from the various film scores of Zimmer ’s extensive career.

Opening with the theme from Sherlock Holmes (2009) ‘Discombobulate’ , the performance of this composition was so good, it not only made me excited for what was to yet come, but it left me wanting to see this film again. A desire that would be reborn throughout the entire evening each time a new film score was played.

Hosts Andrew Pogson and Dr Dan Golding introduced themselves and provided a preface of what we were to expect. They also provided some wonderful insights into the life of Hans Zimmer , not only regarding his own rise to fame within the film industry, but how Zimmer has influenced the art of scoring films as a whole. With the assistance of some wonderfully constructed demonstrations arranged by our conductor Nicholas Buc , we were able to get some incredible insight into how these iconic scores came to be.

One such example was the theme for the famed Pirates of the Caribbean . Buc went on to describe how Zimmer used a Pirate Hornpipe, and with the use of the 80 odd piece orchestra at his command, Buc cleverly explained through the art of music on how this iconic theme came to be. Not only was it extremely educational and had the audience gasping as they identified the tune, but it was also comical the way that Buc playfully executed this. Of course, the next number on the bill was a suite from that very film, composed by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt , the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean Suite’ was a dynamic and wonderful highlight of the evening.

The first half of the evening’s performance continued with many amazing insights and even more incredible performances including music from Driving Miss Daisy , The Holiday , Inception , and The Thin Red Line .

Whilst I will always adore the score of Inception , I came away from the first half with a new appreciation for the score for The Thin Red Line . Pogson , Golding and Buc described Zimmer ’s work as the layering of textures and driving momentum through a piece. Or as they liked to call it, “The Zimmer Build” . ‘Journey To The Line’ is the perfect example of this method, starting out with a single instrument and the rest of the orchestra layering music on top. Not only did this sound incredible, and you had to be there to witness the magic of a live orchestra, but I also found myself excitedly searching the orchestra for the next instrument to be played, before it was even added to the piece. A sort of musical Where’s Wally moment.

Just when I thought the evening couldn’t get any better, the second half absolutely blew me away. Straight after the intermission, I was transported back to a moment of childhood trauma with ‘The Lion King Orchestra Suite ’, complete with the death of Mufasa . Even Pogson cheekily called out that he could hear the Millennials in the audience sobbing. Maybe a little over-exaggeration but there were definitely patrons around to me moved to tears, and it hit me too  – right in the feels. I could almost close my eyes and picture the moment from the film of the sad look on Simba ’s face as he laid by his father after the stampede had subsided.

With other numbers such as ‘Kung Fu Panda: Oogway Ascends’ and ‘The Da Vinci Code: Chevaliers de Sangreal’ in the second half, it was the final three performances of the evening that were the highlight. They also just happen to be from three of my favourite films, two of them from director Christopher Nolan : The Dark Night and Interstellar .

Again, the charismatic hosts provided some back story to these tracks that gave me a new appreciation for the score and what they represent. Interstellar was written without seeing the film at all. Normally, the film would be edited and scored at the same time, or at the very least, with a completed script. But not this one. Nolan hadn’t even finished writing the script for the film and all he gave to Zimmer was a single sheet of paper, with a simple preface and asked him to spend a single day writing music to see what he could come up with. As a result, Zimmer produced one of the most stunning pieces of music I have ever heard in film. To hear this ‘Interstellar Suite’ live was an absolute delight.

Another highlight was the creation behind the score for Batman: The Dark Night with yet another live demo composed by the ever talented Nicholas Buc . He explained how just two notes form the engine room behind the entire score. It was mind blowing and again, gave me a whole new appreciation for the music to listen out for the next time I watch the film.

Last but by certainly no means least, was music from incredibly iconic film, Gladiator . Composed with Australian Lisa Germaine Gerrard on vocals, this score has a special connection to our shores. Continuing with the Australian connection, this suite required a soprano singer, and who better to step up to the microphone than our very own, supremely talented, Ali McGregor . Having seen McGregor perform before, I knew we were in safe hands and she did not disappoint. The entire ‘Gladiator Suite’ is stunning and was a lovely way to close out the concert.

I have been to many concerts performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in my time, from full replica film scores to tributes to John Williams , and even compilations of gaming music. But I would have to say that this Hans Zimmer concert is right up there as one of the best I have experienced yet.

The main reason behind this would be due to the hosts and the format of the evening. You could give an orchestra sheet music to a score and a conductor to guide them through it and it would still be a fun evening. But without the methodically constructed narrative and detailed history behind the music, it would be nowhere near as interesting, educational and entertaining. Without the chaps from The Art of the Score , I doubt I would have had as much fun as I did. This style of concert would also be the perfect introduction to a symphony orchestra too, for those wanting to fall in love with this kind of music for the first time, and I would love to see more of them.

The Music of Hans Zimmer , presented by Art of the Score, conducted by Nicholas Buc, and performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, at Arts Centre Melbourne’s Hamer Hall for three sold out concerts from December 14 to 16 (I attended on the 15th). Witnessing these scores that I’ve loved for years from movies I’ve cherished even longer, made for a wonderful night, rich and nourishing, filled with brilliant music and even better movie music knowledge. This was an experience I’ll look back on and fondly remember for years to come. There’s honestly nothing as spectacular as a live symphony orchestra playing music that you love.

Whilst these encore shows were the last chance to catch the Hans Zimmer themed concerts, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is gearing up for another incredible year of music in 2024 which includes a return of Hans Zimmer ’s music with film concerts to celebrate the 30 th anniversary of The Lion King in February.

Award winning film composer Hans Zimmer will bring his smash-hit tour Hans Zimmer Live to North America this Fall with arena dates across the United States and Canada, including a birthday show at the iconic Madison Square Garden. Following a sold-out European run, the tour marks the North American return of the “Hollywood Rebel” (according to the BBC) who rocked Coachella in 2017 with his outstanding live band and orchestra. Audiences will be swept away from the sound of the first note and journey through an array of well-loved scores throughout Zimmer’s career. In a groundbreaking audio and visual show, the multiple Academy Award® and Grammy winning Zimmer, his band and the orchestra will perform a selection of the composer’s scores from some of cinema’s biggest films. The newly arranged concert suites include music from Gladiator , Pirates of the Caribbean , The Dark Knight , Interstellar , The Lion King , The Last Samurai and Dune , for which Zimmer received his second Academy Award®.

I’m thrilled to return to perform in North America with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show,” said Zimmer. “I love this feeling of uniting my family of extraordinary musicians with you, the audience. Just an unbelievable group of talents, who in my opinion, are some of the best musicians in the world. But nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family – the audience. Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.”

“Hans Zimmer LIVE” features more of two hours of new reimagined arrangements of some of the most popular compositions by the L.A.-based composer icon. The album was recorded during the highly successful same-named concert tour in Europe in spring of 2022 for which Zimmer created new “suites” from some of his most recognizable themes and melodies from the Academy Award © -winning scores for Dune and The Lion King, as well as such contemporary classics as The Dark Knight, X Men: Dark Phoenix, Dunkirk, Gladiator, Inception, Interstellar, The Last Samurai, Man of Steel, James Bond: No Time to Die, Pirates of the Caribbean and Wonder Woman 1984. Together with his 20 piece-band “The Disruptive Collective” featuring a gallery of long-time musical companions, Odessa Orchestra & Friends and Choir, Hans Zimmer has created an epic musical spectacle melding atmospheric classical arrangements and electronic elements into the powerful sound of a rock band.

Recent tour reviews

One of the best experiences of my life. Hans's music truly is full of masterpieces. I've been listening to his soundtracks for 6 years now, and they've definitely become a part of me. Without even realizing, I have memorized the motions of almost every song I listened to, and hearing everything live where the music was physically pumping through me was truly, truly incredible. He played all of my favorites, going through every song I had wanted to hear (and even the ones I didn't know I wanted to hear). Walked away with zero percent disappointment. His tribute to Heath Ledger and the Aurora, CO shooting victims was very touching and very appreciated. Thank you for touring, Hans. You've definitely made some dreams come true.

Report as inappropriate

Went to see HZ at Wembley Arena. This guy, his band, the string and wind sections plus choir made more noise than some of the rock bands I've been to see. And they spent a lot more time on stage than a lot of others have done too. Accompanied by excellent visuals, together with some background information by Hans Zimmer on the tracks played, all my favourites were here: The Thin Red Line, the Batman trilogy, Inception, Interstellar, plus others. Would definitely go again

Such an amazing performance by an amazing man and orchestra! The performance went on longer than I thought (Approximately 8 pm to passed 11 pm) so I had to leave before the concert was finished.

The sound was pretty good from where I was sat (stage left block S5 Row U). Minor annoyance was that a black curtain at the side of the stage obscured our seats from seeing part of the orchestra.

The bad points were firstly the venue. The chairs in the balcony were plastic, cheap and not very comfortable. The steps up to Row U in block S5 was very high with steps that were not lit and could likely cause someone to fall. I saw no accessibility options to get up to this block, nor was I offered assistance by staff (I walk with a cane).

The bad points were secondly the crowd. With minutes to go till curtain up there were still people filtering in trying to find their chairs in the dark. Even those in the front row could not sit still and were still coming in after the show had started. When will venues put patrons comfort ahead of profit? I had to get up out of my chair many times in the first 2 songs because of late comers. The show start time was on the ticket. Plus those that felt they needed to get up after each song annoying fellow concert goers that were trying to enjoy the show.

Even though there were negative points due to the venue and the minority of concert goers, it was an excellent show. The sound, the light presentation and songs played were stunning. Would have been good to have a curfew of 11 pm so that those with far to travel (like myself) could still get home after watching the entire show (I had to miss the last 2 songs).

I will definitely see Hans Zimmer again in future!!

Arts & entertainment, design & style, travel & leisure, search concrete playground, legendary composer hans zimmer is coming to australia to play all of his film scores live.

Hear 'The Lion King', 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Blue Planet II' performed by a live orchestra and a full band.

For almost four decades, Hans Zimmer has given cinema a distinctive sound. The German composer helped put the bounce in The Lion King 's score and the droning in Inception 's memorable tunes, and has loaned his talents to everything from Thelma & Louise  to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy to Blade Runner 2049 . It's an impressive list that just keeps going — and it'll sound even more impressive played live and accompanied by an orchestra.

As well as working his music magic on a wealth of movies — Hidden Figures , The Boss Baby , Dunkirk , Widows , X-Men: Dark Phoenix and the upcoming Lion King remake are just some of his recent credits — Zimmer has been taking his show on the road over the past few years. After touring his Hans Zimmer Revealed concert series in 2017, including to Australia, he's returning to our shores with Hans Zimmer Live , which'll echo through arenas in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne this October.

While the Oscar, Golden Globe, Grammy and Tony-winner obviously isn't going to play every single one of his iconic film scores, expect to hear plenty of your favourites from a lineup that also includes Wonder Woman , Gladiator , Pirates of the Caribbean , 12 Years a Slave , Sherlock Holmes , Mission Impossible II and Pearl Harbour — plus the small screen's The Crown and Blue Planet II as well.

Zimmer will be joined not only by a massive orchestra, but a full band and a huge stage production, complete with a luminous light show and other eye-catching visuals.

Hans Zimmer, Los Angeles, LA, Tour, Concert, Performance, April 14 2017, EVI

Hans Zimmer Live will hit the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday, October 3, Sydney's Qudos Arena on Saturday, October 5 and Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on Monday, October 7. Tickets go on sale at 10am on Monday, June 17 — for further details, visit the promoter's website .
