We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

Join us as we celebrate one of the unofficial Kings of Movie Scores: Hans Zimmer. With a musical range more expansive than the Pride Lands of The Lion King (of which he scored), settle in for an evening spanning several genres across the 80s, 90s, 2000s and now! From the brooding tones of The Dark Knight to the heart-warming melodies of Kung Fu Panda, the magnitude of Zimmer’s works is guaranteed to keep you enthralled from Inception to Interstellar.

Puzzle yourself with crescendos of The Da Vinci Code, then jump aboard the Black Pearl and plunder with The Pirates of the Caribbean before a well-earned break with Cameron and Kate in The Holiday.

Hosted by the creators of the popular podcast, Art of the Score, Andrew Pogson and Dan Goulding, with conductor Vanessa Scammell, your journey through these titans of technicolour will have you simmering with enjoyment!
