If you’re a film music fan, you can attend the unique event that will take place on 17 February 2024 in the Arena Gliwice. It is there that the Polish Radio Orchestra and the Academic Choir of the Warsaw University of Technology, conducted by Maciej Sztor, will present a Film Music Concert dedicated to the works of Hans Zimmer – one of the greatest contemporary composers of film music.
Lose yourself in unique sounds
Hans Zimmer is a name that all film lovers are probably familiar with. He has created unforgettable soundtracks for over 150 films, such as ‘Gladiator’, ‘Inception’, ‘Interstellar’, ‘Batman’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Diana’. His works combine elements of symphonic music, contemporary instruments and electronics to create a unique style and atmosphere. He has received many prestigious awards for his work, such as an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Grammy, and lifetime achievement awards.
During the concert at the Arena Gliwice, you will hear original orchestral suites from some of Zimmer’s most famous films and pieces from ‘Sherlock Holmes’, ‘The da Vinci Code’ and ‘Crimson Tide’ will also be performed. And as the icing on the cake – the music from the latest film “Dune”, for which Zimmer received his second Oscar, will be premiered. Film excerpts will enrich the event projected onto a cinema screen and narrated by Magda Miśka-Jackowska. Anna Lasota will sing the solo parts.
It will be an unforgettable experience for all film, music, and cinema fans. Tickets for the concert are available at biletyna.pl and at the Arena Gliwice box offices.
And if you want to combine a concert with a weekend trip to Gliwice….
Gliwice is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Upper Silesia. Its rich history, interesting architecture, cultural attractions and many opportunities for active leisure ensure that you will not be bored here.
Gliwice Market Square and Old Town
This is the heart of Gliwice, where you will find many historic houses, churches, fountains and monuments.

Radio station Gliwice
This is a place of great historical significance, as it was here that the Second World War began. On 31.08.1939, under the guise of a Polish attack on the radio station, German soldiers carried out a provocation that served as a pretext for the invasion of Poland.
