Todd Phillips’ controversial and award-winning film Joker is getting live orchestra experience treatment. The World Premiere of Hildur Guðnadóttir’s award-winning score will take place at Dublin’s Bord Gáis Energy Theatre this May.

Guðnadóttir’s beautifully haunting has already won her a Golden Globe and received BAFTA- and Academy Award-nominations. the first-ever solo female winner of the Golden Globe for Best Original Score, Hildur Guðnadóttir is also known as the composer of HBO’s celebrated miniseries Chernobyl.

“I’m thrilled to get to see and hear Joker in the cinema with a live orchestra. When we recorded the music, the orchestra brought such depth and detailed attention to the performances that we were all literally holding our breaths during most of the recording sessions. It was a beautiful trip. I’m so happy to get to go there again and for an audience to experience that too,” says Hildur Guðnadóttir.

“I speak for the entire Joker team when I say how thrilled we are to be working with SENBLA and Ollie Rosenblatt on Joker – In Concert. I think it’s a wonderful way for audiences to experience Hildur Guðnadóttir‘s haunting and immersive score while bearing witness to Joaquin Phoenix’s descent into madness as Arthur.” adds director, Todd Phillips.
