Bear McCreary « The Singularity Tour »

On 25 July 2026, Bear McCreary brings The Singularity Tour to Opium in Dublin. Composer and multi‑instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, McCreary has shaped the sound of contemporary film, series and video games with a blend of orchestra, muscular percussion and instruments drawn from various folk traditions. Trained at USC and mentored by Elmer Bernstein, he built a signature approach around recurring melodic motifs, dense textures and the interplay of solo voices and choirs.

On stage, McCreary steps out from the studio to lead his own ensemble, often at the keyboards or accordion. The set digs into themes that have marked his path, from Battlestar Galactica to Outlander and The Walking Dead, with detours through cinema and gaming like God of War and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Expect live arrangements that bring out rhythmic drive and thematic detail, moving between intimate timbres and full‑band impact. A rare chance to hear a screen composer rework his catalog for the room, with the narrative focus that runs through all his scores.
