ARTIST BIO

The Regina Symphony Orchestra will present screenings Walt Disney Animation Studio’s feature “The Lion King” with Hans Zimmer’s Oscar®-winning musical score performed live to the film. The concerts will be led by conductor Karl Hirzer on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Conexus Arts Centre at 2:00 pm.

The original 1994 version—features unforgettable music by an award-winning team, including Oscar® and GRAMMY®-winning superstar Elton John and Oscar® and GRAMMY®-winning lyricist Tim Rice, and score by Oscar® and GRAMMY®-winning composer Hans Zimmer, plus African vocal and choir arrangements by GRAMMY®-winning South African producer and composer Lebo M (Rhythm of the Pride Lands.)

Disney’s “The Lion King” journeys to the African savanna where a future king is born. Simba idolizes his father, King Mufasa, and takes to heart his own royal destiny. But not everyone in the kingdom celebrates the new cub’s arrival. Scar, Mufasa’s brother—and former heir to the throne—has plans of his own. The battle for Pride Rock is ravaged with betrayal, tragedy and drama, ultimately resulting in Simba’s exile. With help from a curious pair of newfound friends, Simba will have to figure out how to grow up and take back what is rightfully his. The all-star cast includes Matthew Broderick as Simba, Moira Kelly as Nala, James Earl Jones as Mufasa, Jeremy Irons as Scar, Ernie Sabella as Pumbaa and Nathan Lane as Timon.

Disney’s The Lion King Live in Concert is presented by the Regina Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Karl Hirzer and will be performed at Conexus Arts Centre on March 14, 2026 – 2:00 PM. For tickets and further information, visit the Conexus Art Centre box office and reginasymphony.com.
