Zimmer, 64, appeared in a Berlin press conference yesterday with Oleksandr Lysiuk, tour manager of the Odessa Opera Orchestra.

Zimmer said: ‘This orchestra is precious… (we need to show) that art and artists are there to bring peace to this world’.

The musicians are presently rehearsing in Berlin. Zimmer won an Oscar for The Lion King and is presently nominated for Dune.

The tour starts Friday in Hamburg, moving on to Stuttgart and Cologne.
