About this event

The Candlelight series lands at Canberra's James Fairfax Theatre inside the National Gallery, turning the room over to a string quartet by candlelight for a run through the music of Hans Zimmer.

Worth being clear: this is a tribute concert. Zimmer himself doesn't perform, and it isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the composer. The playing comes from the Firebird Quartet, curated by Phoenix Collective.

The programme leans on the big screen scores — Interstellar, Dune, Gladiator, the Pirates suite and more. It runs about 65 minutes, with no entry once the set begins.
