According to the official description of the event:

“The genius of two of the greatest film composers of our time is celebrated in one concert, featuring the evocative scores of Gladiator, Star Wars and Jurassic Park.

 There are few more recognizable pieces of music than the epic scores of John Williams and Hans Zimmer: two composers who arguably make music which transforms the films they write for into the phenomena they are today. And what better way to hear their music than with a full orchestra performing it live.”

 

The concert, that will last approximately 2 hours (intermission included), has the following program planned:

Hans Zimmer – Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)

Hans Zimmer – Batman Begins (2005)

Hans Zimmer – Inception : Time (2010)
