New Program 2026
Legendary Theme Music Performed Live

 

Only masterful musical magicians like Hans Zimmer and John Williams can create scores so unforgettable that they transcend the films themselves. For Hollywood’s dream factory, these music creators have composed hundreds of internationally renowned soundtracks, won awards as diverse as their oeuvre—from Oscars to Emmys—and achieved legendary status during their lifetimes.

 

At the film music concert The Sound of Hans Zimmer & John Williams, the audience can experience the composers’ musical highlights live. Moving melodies from Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, Dune, Jurassic Park, Gladiator, Indiana Jones, Inception, and more, complement the great successes of recent years with additional film music highlights in a new program—brought symphonically to life by the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir.

Isar Philharmonic

Isarphilharmonie

Munich’s most modern concert hall

 

Since the Isarphilharmonie opened in October 2021, it has quickly gained a reputation for its special atmosphere and excellent sound. The list of orchestras performing here reads like a veritable Who’s Who, headed by the Munich Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra. High profile concert agencies see the auditorium as the perfect place for guest appearances by national and international orchestras and it also hosts jazz productions and large-scale popular music concerts of all genres.

 

But the Isarphilharmonie also has another string to its bow: it can be blacked out, making it the ideal venue for film screenings – with or without orchestral accompaniment. The auditorium is equipped with a large screen and top-class cinematic sound systems.

 

 

Architecture & acoustics

The building that houses the Isarphilharmonie is a steel structure with an internal volume of nearly 60,000 cubic metres. The concert hall itself can accommodate almost 2000 guests and is made from prefabricated solid wood elements. The walls are clad with black-stained softwood panels, while the stage and floors are made from light cedar wood for a striking contrast. The Isarphilharmonie at Gasteig HP8 was built by the general contractor NÜSSLI to the plans of architects gmp – Gerkan, Marg und Partner.

 

The Isarphilharmonie acoustics were created by Nagata Acoustics International – the team led by star acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota – who were also involved with the construction of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the Philharmonie de Paris.
