Qatar Airways has introduced a new onboard musical identity created in collaboration with award-winning composer Hans Zimmer. The airline unveiled the original composition gave passengers a new musical experience inspired by Qatar's culture, heritage and the emotions associated with traveling.
The music is part of a five-track collection titled Burgundy Symphony. The project combines Zimmer's cinematic style with the airline's aim of creating a more distinctive passenger experience. The collaboration was officially launched during Zimmer's concert in Doha. Guests at the event also watched a specially produced film explaining the creative process and inspiration behind the collection.
The album includes five tracks, each representing a different moment in a traveler's journey.
'Dawn' captures the excitement of starting a new journey and exploring unfamiliar destinations. 'Dusk' reflects the calm of flying above the clouds as daylight fades.
