Event 5 / Interstellar

Brace yourself for a sonic journey to the stars as Interstellar lands in Glasgow. International organist Roger Sayer – the original performer of Hans Zimmer’s iconic score – delivers a breathtaking performance of music from the 2014 blockbuster. Set within the celestial acoustics of the medieval cathedral, this event combines the might of its 140-year-old pipe organ with a cosmic light display, as well as behind-the-scenes insights into the extraordinary creative exchange between Sayer, Zimmer and director Christopher Nolan.

Opening with Strauss’s Also Sprach Zarathustra and movements from Holst’s The Planets, the programme builds towards Sayer’s own, exclusive version of Zimmer’s score— reflecting the drama and intense emotions of the movie’s story line in a performance featuring themes such as Cornfield Chase, Stay and No Time for Caution. A pre-concert talk, Q&A and behind-the-scenes film reveal how Sayer helped shape a Hollywood masterpiece.

[Roger Sayer] is without doubt an extraordinary artist whose humanity shines in theimpeccable artistry that flows from his hands — Hans Zimmer
