One of the most decorated composers of our age, Hans Zimmer, graced the Whitby’s theater in Midtown for an in-depth conversation and exclusive Q&A session

FILE – Composer Hans Zimmer poses for a portrait on July 10, 2019, at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Zimmer’s film scores have soundtracked magic movie moments in “The Lion King,” “The Dark Knight” and both new “Dune” movies, to name a few. This fall, the “Hans Zimmer Live” tour will hit U.S. and Canada, marking the first time Zimmer has performed in North America in seven years.

He didn’t hesitate to name-drop two musicians for encouraging him to “come out of his windowless room.” He credited Pharrell Williams and Johnny Marr for forcing him out of the closet and giving him the confidence to face thousands of people on his mega tours.The award-winning composer only had two weeks of formal training at the age of six, thanks to his refusal to learn what others have already written.

Delving further into his past, he said he distinctly “remembers the day when my feet had grown enough that my feet could reach the pedals. So that was like a big day to me. It was like, well, now I can go and play those bass notes.”
