Iconic film score concert for Newbridge
Hans Zimmer coming to Newbridge
ONE of the greatest composers of modern film scores Hans Zimmer will have his music brough to life at the Riverbank in Newbridge for one night only in March.
Following a run of sold-out shows in 2025, ‘The Hans Zimmer Experience’ has announced a series of just five new performance dates in Ireland for 2026.
Newbridge is one of these on 6 March, and with tickets at just €25 each, early purchase is recommended because the Belfast date is already sold out.
From the ensemble behind The Ennio Morricone Experience, The Hans Zimmer Experience reimagines Zimmer’s iconic film scores with the intimacy and elegance of a live chamber ensemble.
From the soaring majesty of Interstellar and Inception, to the emotional depth of The Lion King, Gladiator, and Pearl Harbour, The Hans Zimmer Experience is a transformative journey through sound and story.
The ensemble brings a refined yet powerful energy to every piece, appealing to classical music lovers, film score aficionados, and general audiences alike.
The ensemble comprises six acclaimed international solo artists: Soprano Katy Kelly, pianist Annalisa Monticelli, violinist Francesca De Nardi, violist Anne Marie McGahon, cellist Davide Forti and flautist Vourneen Ryan.
Soprano Katy Kelly has sung opera internationally, has represented Ireland in many premier competitions, and was a regional finalist at the Metropolitan Opera National Council Awards.
She has performed in Carnegie Hall with the Thomas Moore Festival, and is a regular performer at the National Concert Hall, Dublin.
Pianist Annalisa Monticelli is an internationally recognised musician.
Trained in classical and jazz piano, voice, conducting, and composition she brings versatility and depth to her work. Highly sought after as a vocal and diction coach, throughout Europe, she is also a faculty member at Maynooth University and the Royal Irish Academy of Music.
Italian-born violinist Francesca De Nardi is a double graduate of Trieste’s Conservatorio G. Tartini and Dublin’s Royal Irish Academy of Music.
