Hans Zimmer, who will also score the forthcomingΒ Batman-SupermanΒ movie, is a renowned composer whose crafted music for films such asΒ The Dark KnightΒ andΒ Pirates of the Caribbean, but coming into the music festival domain is something fairly new to the German producer and we welcome him with open arms
The festival approached Zimmer to compose a classical piece that would embody the “mystical, magical” aspects the festival is known for, and whose award-winning scores are infused with similarly spiritual qualities. He recorded the original piece in Air Studios in London, where he had previously recorded soundtracks for films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, The Da Vinci Code and The Dark Knight.

The piece will premiere at this yearβs sold-out festival, which runs from July 18-20 and July 25-27. Hereβs a sneak peek into the making:
