Hans Zimmer had already been part of the Starmus Festival, in the 3rd edition precisely, which was held at the Canary Islands (Spain) in 2016, offering a tribute a Stephen Hawking, where Zimmer received the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication.

 

That edition closed with the remarkable Sonic Universe Concert featuring Sarah Brightman singing with the Symphonic Orchestra of Tenerife and Hans Zimmer, which also included performances by Brian May, Chris Hadfield, Rick Wakeman, and Anathema.
