Hanz Zimmer in Glasgow as Hollywood composer announces new show at OVO Hydro

The World of Hans Zimmer is set to bring the music of the two-time Academy Award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer to Glasgow.

In 2024, his successful show The World of Hans Zimmer will receive a new musical theme as part of a new European and UK-wide tour. 'A New Dimension' will see the music icon arrange a brand-new selection from his tremendously diverse collection of scores.

The original show 'The World of Hans Zimmer' – A Symphonic Celebration first wowed audiences in Germany in 2018 and has since toured around the world.

The great man himself will not appear live on stage for the new tour, but will instead curate the music and act as musical director.

He said: “My aspiration with this new show is to preserve the culture of the orchestra and allow audiences to rediscover the unique facets of orchestral music. There are many background stories I would love to tell and long-time companions and friends I would like to introduce.”

Soundtrack conductor Gavin Greenaway – a long-time and trusted friend of the Hollywood composer – will continue to conjure the magic of Hans Zimmer’s works for the live audience as part of the new tour, along with some of the incredible soloists from Zimmer’s talent pool and a masterful symphony orchestra.

Gavin Greenaway said: “We have found a way for everyone to exist in this music without anyone being the big star. The music will be the star. ... The show is an absolute thrill, and we love it.”

The audience will be able to enjoy stunning visual projections of film sequences alongside the music which will see music from the likes of films such as Dune, James Bond – No Time to Die, 'Gladiator, The Dark Knight trilogy and Interstellar among others.

Tickets will be available from the Ticketmaster website from Fri, April 21 at 9 am.
