"From April 2018 “The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration“ goes on tour throughout Germany, accompanied by longstanding friends and colleagues of the rock star amongst film composers, with Hans Zimmer acting as curator and musical director, even though he himself will not perform at these concerts.

“The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration” pulls out all the stops: In addition to visually striking projections of film sequences, a symphony orchestra under the direction of Hans Zimmer’s soundtrack conductor Gavin Greenaway creates an intense and unforgettable concert experience which – in contrast to “Hans Zimmer Live” – celebrates Zimmer’s compositions for large orchestra.

Together with a choir and top musicians from Hans Zimmer’s talent factory, such as Pedro Eustache, the flautist from the Pirates of the Caribbean series, and solo violinist Rusana Panfili, it creates a magical sound cosmos, with the hypnotic voice of Lisa Gerrard, whose hymn “Now We Are Free” from Gladiator remains unforgettable, floating above it all.

“The World of Hans Zimmer” – an unforgettable audio-visual concert experience".

This concert series seem to be the long awaited successor, for me at least, of The Wings of a Film concert held in Ghent in 2001. Has anyone attended these concerts and are they better than his more rock and roll film concert series?

EDIT: Some information on the Ghent concert http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=393&forumID=1&archive=1

I saw it in Hamburg, I loved it way more than his previous tour (no earplugs were needed for this one). For who is interested, I have written a report about it: https://soundtrackworld.com/2018/05/the-world-of-hans-zimmer-hamburg/

I saw the YouTube videos and I love 90% of it. I think the only issues I had was that The Dark Knight was a waste and I actually prefer his Gladiator suite from his Live tour.

The Pirates suite was amazing. Simply everything I wanted from that series.
Spirit was amazing as well.

What cues were used for the King Arthur suite? I can't find any videos of it.

It was a suite that started with an adaptation of the beginning of "All of Them!" transitioning into the end part of "Woad to Ruin"

From what I heard, Cruise announced that Zimmer will be working on Top Gun: Maverick in the Gala Concert in Vienna. I wonder if he is replacing Harold Faltermeyer or they are working together.
