The Music of Hans Zimmer & Alan Silvestri

Experience the music of Hollywood at de Doelen in Rotterdam on Friday 27 November 2026. The Music of Hans Zimmer & Alan Silvestri brings together an orchestra of 50 musicians, singers and soloists for an evening celebrating some of cinema's most memorable soundtracks, accompanied by impressive visual projections.

Following the success of Hans Zimmer vs John Williams, the international Grand Symphonique production returns with a new concert dedicated to the work of two influential film composers.

Hans Zimmer has created music for some of the biggest films of recent decades, including Gladiator, The Lion King and Dune. His scores combine powerful orchestral arrangements with atmospheric electronic sounds, creating distinctive musical worlds that have become inseparable from the films themselves.

Alan Silvestri is equally celebrated for his work on Back to the Future, Forrest Gump and Marvel's Avengers films. His compositions range from sweeping adventure themes to intimate, emotional melodies.

Hollywood soundtracks performed live

Presented by London conductor and musical director Robert Emery, the concert combines symphonic music with cinematic imagery and entertaining introductions.

The advertised programme includes music associated with Gladiator, The Avengers, Back to the Future, Dune and The Lion King, alongside further film music selections.

With a large orchestra, choir members and soloists performing on stage, the production offers a concert experience celebrating the emotional power of music written for cinema.
