Hans Zimmer is one of the biggest names in the history of film music. In his youth, he worked played the keyboard in various pop bands, but when he joined forces with the film composer Stanley Myers, he began to develop his own unique and now distinctive style. In his music, which is based on the fusion of synthetic sounds with classical orchestral forces, he also uses other musical instruments such as steel drums, the Hawaiian guitar, Japanese instruments, and African drums, as well as various choirs. Zimmer has won numerous awards, including an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his work on The Lion King  and a Grammy for  The Dark Knight.  Zimmer has said Ennio Morricone was his idol and role model, and he followed his example in composing music for films before they were even made. Excerpts from the soundtracks to hits such as the James Bond film No Time to Die, Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator  and Interstellar, as well as works by Zimmer’s idol and role model Ennio Morricone, will be performed by the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Philharmonic Orchestra. The event will be hosted by Jonathan Linsley, a star guest who is most active on English television and best known in the film world for his role as Ogilvey in the Pirates of the Caribbean  franchise.

The performance will be in English without Slovenian subtitles.
