The Limitless Orchestra - Birth Of An Orchestra
Aleksey Igudesman has a dream: a limitless orchestra. With The Limitless Orchestra, he unites extraordinary multi-instrumentalists from around the world—artists who defy convention to create something new together. Under the musical direction of Hans Zimmer, a bold experiment unfolds, redefining music, community, and creativity. The film follows their intense journey from chaotic rehearsals to the electrifying premiere at Dubai Opera. Can they create something truly new?

From Zimmer To Strauss
In Dubai—a city of bold visions and striking contrasts—The Limitless Orchestra takes the stage under the direction of Aleksey Igudesman, joined by legendary composer Hans Zimmer for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Musicians from around the world unite, blending classical, rock, Latin, Celtic, and Middle Eastern sounds into a powerful, boundary-crossing performance. With Strauss on their minds, the orchestra and soloists waltz joyfully through the concert. More than a performance, it’s a bold, emotional celebration of global connection through music.

Sound New World
Igudesman & Joo are masters of musical reinvention, crafting bold journeys that defy the ordinary. Together with The Limitless Orchestra, an ensemble of extraordinary multiinstrumentalists, they explore Dvořák’s New World Symphony, revealing its rich blend of Czech and Native American influences and his vision of a new musical tradition. Blending virtuosity, humor and theatrical flair, Sound New World, commissioned by the Dvořák Festival, celebrates rediscovery and leaves audiences inspired.
