For the film score for Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk", Hans Zimmer received his eleventh Oscar nomination in 2018.

Orchestra and Choir
The Hollywood Philharmonic Orchestra cooperates in Europe with the State Academic Symphony Orchestra and the Choir of the Republic of Belarus. This musical body delights audiences throughout Europe with "its unrestrained pleasure in making music." For several years, the ensemble has successfully performed at the most famous opera houses and concert halls in Germany, such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt, the Gewandhaus Leipzig, the Philharmonie Munich, the Philharmonie Berlin, and the Laeiszhalle Hamburg.
The State Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Republic of Belarus was founded in 1927 as one of the oldest institutions in the Soviet Union. The "Belarusian State Philharmonic Society" was established ten years later, to which the orchestra belongs today. The Symphony Orchestra has always been one of the leading orchestras in Russia. Some of the most sought-after soloists of the twentieth century were always happy to accept the invitation of this Symphony Orchestra, such as David Oistrach, Yehudi Menuhin, Victor Ashkenazy, and Isaac Stern.
