Famous Film Scores Come Alive On Stage Thanks To Candlelight And A String Quartet
Hear the music of acclaimed movie composer Hans Zimmer in the light of hundreds of candles in the Concert Hall at The Concourse. It's selling out fast!
Music, according to Hans Zimmer, is 50% of a movie. It gives films a sense of rhythm—a flow—and scenes from our favourite films have been amplified by music and the fantastic, the surreal and the wonder elevated to extremes. You can relive many of these moments at Candlelight: Hans Zimmer’s Best works and experience the music of one of film history’s most prolific composers.
And not just prolific, but award-winning as well. The German film composer has two Oscars for The Lion King and Dune.
Don’t miss out on some of film history’s most recognisable songs at Candlelight.
The setlist for Candlelight: Hans Zimmer’s Best Works includes songs from movies such as Inception, The Pacific, Pearl Harbor, The Dark Knight and Sherlock Holmes. Audiences will be able to relive memorable on-screen moments like the corn-field chase in Interstellar and Zooster’s Breakout in Madagascar while Man of Steel, Wonder Woman, Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean all make appearances with medleys.
“A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.” – Hans Zimmer
These treasured soundtracks among others will be performed by the Ben Adler Quartet.
Music pulls us in and has us feeling all the feels: the highs become more ecstatic, the lows more emotional and the drama becomes all too much. Be prepared to be drawn into a dreamy candlelit evening of Hans Zimmers Best Works, which takes place on Thursday 28 July (sold-out) and again on Thursday 8 September.
There are two performances on the night so you can go out for drinks and dinner before or after the stunning concert—just like you would if you were going for date night at the movies.
For those that are all about magic and the wondrous worlds created by Studio Ghibli, then look no further than the Best of Joe Hisaishi where you’ll get to hear songs composed by the musical genius behind all but one of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. Be Spirited Away at The Grand Lodge at the Sydney Masonic Centre in August.
