"...I was especially keen to go since the event was hosted by the affable blokes from the Art of the Score podcast, who made last year’s MSO celebration of John Williams’ music so fun and memorable. Once again, the engaging duo of Andrew Pogson and Dan Golding (and Nicholas Buc on the conducting duties) brought their wealth of knowledge and insight, as well as some adorkable humour and knowingly daggy dad jokes." - Yggdrasille Reviews "I have been to many concerts performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in my time, from full replica film scores to tributes to John Williams, and even compilations of gaming music. But I would have to say that this Hans Zimmer concert is right up there as one of the best I have experienced yet." - Lilithia Reviews
