Film composer Hans Zimmer has recently announced that he will be embarking on a tour, thanks to the encouragement and influence of his friends Pharrell Williams and Johnny Marr. After spending years behind the screen composing award-winning film scores, Zimmer humorously admits that he can no longer hide and is ready to connect with his audience in a live setting.
Having taken a seven-year hiatus from performing in North America, Zimmer’s return is highly anticipated. His “Hans Zimmer Live” tour, which was previously sold-out in Europe, promises to bring his iconic film scores to life on stage. With the support and advice from Marr and Williams, Zimmer realized the importance of connecting with his fans and delivering an unforgettable experience.
Zimmer’s decision to take the stage was solidified after his successful performance at Coachella in 2017. The overwhelming response from the audience made him realize that he had the ability to captivate and engage with fans in a live setting. With his orchestra at the peak of their abilities, Zimmer is determined to provide a unique and extraordinary experience for his fans.
Expecting a show that deviates from the traditional classical music setting, Zimmer’s rock and roll background will heavily influence his desire to put on an exceptional performance. He understands the value of his audience’s hard-earned money and is committed to exceeding their expectations.
Zimmer’s goal is to create a show that not only showcases his incredible film scores but also provides a thrilling and immersive experience for his fans. “Hans Zimmer Live” is set to begin at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Ga. on Sept. 6 and will travel to 17 cities across the U.S. and Canada. The tour will conclude in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Rogers Arena on October 6th.
The tour will make stops in Hollywood, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; New York; Baltimore; Boston; Montreal and Toronto; Minneapolis; Chicago; Fort Worth, Texas; Denver; Las Vegas; Los Angeles; Oakland, California, and Seattle.
According to Zimmer, the audience can expect a diverse crowd. Zimmer observed a varied crowd at the event, which included a grandmother, a man with a mohawk, a businessman, and a group of bikers. This demonstrates that the event is not only inclusive of different age groups but also celebrates diversity.
In more ways than one, Zimmer’s orchestra is made up of musicians from Ukraine. “Two weeks after the invasion started, we managed to evacuate about half of them from Odessa,” he explains. Lebo M, who sings the theme song for “The Lion King,” was a political refugee from South Africa when Zimmer first met him. Pedro Eustache, the woodwind player, hails from Venezuela and believes he may never be able to return home, according to Zimmer.
“I have this incredibly international group of musicians, and what makes them so emotionally invested in their music is that each of them has a unique story to share,” Zimmer adds.
“Hans Zimmer Live,” which has recently been reimagined, features compositions from films such as “Gladiator,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Dark Knight,” “Interstellar,” “The Lion King,” “The Last Samurai,” and “Dune.”
“Each piece is connected to the adventure of creating it, the journey of making that movie, the collaboration involved, and the question of ‘How did we get here?’What initiated this thrilling journey, and what steps can we take to ensure its perpetual continuation? Each of these movies is bursting with vibrant hues and influenced by our own reality.. They have all been extraordinary journeys. “With the support and encouragement of his friends Pharrell Williams and Johnny Marr, Hans Zimmer is ready to step out from behind the screen and embark on a tour that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on his fans. “Hans Zimmer Live” is set to begin at the Gas South Arena in Duluth, Ga. on Sept. 6 and will travel to 17 cities across the U.S. The tour will wrap up in Vancouver, British Columbia at the Rogers Arena on October 6th, covering both the United States and Canada.
