Hans Zimmer is one of Hollywood's most prolific film composers scoring more than 100 films. Some of the most beloved iconic soundtracks include Interstellar, Gladiator, Inception and The Lion King. Dr Dan Golding, Andrew Pogson and Nicholas Buc host the podcast The Art of the Score in which they dicuss, analyse, play music and revel in the best film scores. They'll be presenting Art of the Score: The Music of Hans Zimmer alongside the Auckland Philharmonia in Tamaki Makaurau on Friday 4 April. Dr Dan Golding is a critic and academic while Andrew Pogson is a producer, director and the founder of Concert Lab and they both speak to Culture 101's Perlina Lau about celebrating the music of Zimmer and why his sound has become the backdrop of our film lives.
