Hans ZImmer’s Music Jumps Off the Screen

In a press release for the announcement, Hans Zimmer said, “I’m thrilled to return to perform in North America with my wonderful band and excited to share this phenomenal show.” He continued:

“I love this feeling of uniting my family of extraordinary musicians with you, the audience. Just an unbelievable group of talents, who in my opinion, are some of the best musicians in the world. But nothing would have meaning without the good grace and support of you, the other part of the family – the audience. Ultimately, the music connects us all, and I promise you this: we will always play our best, straight from the heart.”

And if you can’t attend the concert in person, there is a recording of Zimmer’s live show available on digital and an epic four-vinyl box set. The Hans Zimmer Live recording features more than two hours of new reimagined arrangements of some of his most popular compositions. The album was recorded during the highly successful same-named concert tour in Europe in spring of 2022 for which Zimmer created new “suites” from some of his most recognizable themes and melodies with his 20 piece-band, “The Disruptive Collective,” along with the Odessa Orchestra & Friends and Choir.
