Footage of Planet Earth III set against orchestral music composed by Hans Zimmer? Sign us up!
We know what you’re thinking: ‘footage of animals and nature from Planet Earth III playing alongside orchestral music composed by Hans Zimmer? Sounds too good to be true!’, and for the RadioTimes.com team which keep up with all of Sir David Attenborough’s endeavours, whether that’s on TV such as Prehistoric Planet season two, or through the BBC Earth Experience, this live in concert series certainly sounds like a dream.
However, Planet Earth III Live in Concert follows on from the critically acclaimed Blue Planet II and Planet Earth II Live in Concert arena tours, and is part of what seems like a live in concert renaissance; as well as candlelight concerts which see an orchestra perform much-loved artists such as ABBA live by candlelight, we’ve also seen the likes of Avatar: The Last Airbender Live in Concert.
Now, the highly-anticipated Planet Earth III Live in Concert is coming to London and Manchester in autumn this year. The concert will project specially selected footage taken from the Planet Earth III series on a giant LED screen.
The score alongside the footage is created by Oscar winner Zimmer, Jacob Shea and Sara Barone for Bleeding Fingers Music, performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic orchestra. The Bleeding Fingers team also worked with BRIT Award-winning band Bastille and Mercury Prize Award-nominated singer Raye.
Speaking about the concert, Zimmer said: “Creating scores for any of the BBC’s Natural History series is always an honour for me as there are no more epic stories than those occurring naturally every day in our own planet’s ecosystem.
“For Planet Earth III it’s been a further privilege to work with the incredible world class talents of Bastille who created wonderful vocals on the soundscape for the series, and Raye with her a beautiful, poignant prequel track.”
