Sounds of the Universe: Zimmer, Richter, Einaudi by Mystery Ensemble

✨А unique concert will take place at the unique Kensington United Reformed Church located in the heart of Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea!

Step into a spellbinding neoclassical programme that leads audiences on a luminous journey through emotion and awe.

Featuring the visionary works of Hans Zimmer, Ludovico Einaudi, and Max Richter, this concert blends cinematic grandeur, minimalist clarity, and haunting melodic nuance.

Zimmer’s expansive compositions, like "Cornfield Chase" from Interstellar, conjure the vastness of space, while Einaudi’s delicate piano-driven pieces, such as "Petrichor", invite quiet reflection. Richter’s poignant "Sofa Chess" and the ethereal "Infra 4" interlace timeless restraint with contemporary texture.

Together, these composers shape a sonic cosmos — where orchestral detail meets atmospheric depth, offering listeners a chance to dwell in the infinite sounds of the universe.

Hans Zimmer, the constant collaborator in his films and one of the greatest film composers of our time, is an Oscar winner, a two-time Golden Globe winner, and a three-time Grammy winner. Zimmer’s original compositions will be reimagined for a unique ensemble of instruments, combining electronics and acoustic instruments.

Ludovico Einaudi is without a doubt one of the most prominent representatives of neoclassicism. But success and recognition were not easy for him. From childhood, the weight of the achievements of his family members dominated the Italian. Ludovico’s mother played the piano. Maternal grandfather was a composer and conductor of Italian operas. Father is a famous book publisher. Paternal grandfather — Luigi Einaudi — the first president of post-war Italy.

Max Richter is the composer of music for dozens of feature films and documentaries and was voted the best film composer in 2008, according to the European Film Academy. He changed the music of Antonio Vivaldi in the spirit of minimalism and postmodernism. Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi, The Four Seasons is one of Richter's most famous works. After its release in 2012, the recording topped the iTunes Classical Music charts in over 20 countries.
