Interstellar: Tribute to Hans Zimmer by Mystery Ensemble

✨ Join us on August 14th at the Great Hall of the University of Reading, for one of our most atmospheric programmes!
Soundtracks of the renowned film ’Interstellar,’ directed by Christopher Nolan, and brought to life by the enchanting performance from Mystery Ensemble.

Zimmer’s original compositions will be reimagined for a unique ensemble of electronic and acoustic instruments.
