The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams

Hans Zimmer has achieved something incredible:

The German composer worked behind the scenes in Hollywood for decades, was barely visible to the general public—and yet is now as famous as a rock star.

His outstanding soundtracks helped turn many films into blockbusters: from “The Lion King” to “Gladiator” to “Interstellar” and “Dune.”

Only one living film composer is as famous as he is: the great John Williams. The American has been nominated for an Oscar an incredible 54 times—winning the award five times—and there is likely no more famous melody in the entire history of film than his “Star Wars” fanfare.

These two composers have created a wealth of brilliant music that everyone knows, music that evokes nostalgic memories in moviegoers—and that stirs powerful emotions even without moving images.

So it’s no wonder that “The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams” has been a crowd-pleaser for years and consistently sells out venues across the German-speaking world.

In the spring of 2027, the project will enter its next phase with a new program—featuring new musical highlights, the power of orchestral sound, and nostalgic mental imagery that brings film history to life.
