Danny Elfman's Music from the Films of Tim Burton

Dive into the shadowy, surreal universe of Tim Burton through the unmistakable sound of Danny Elfman. This visually enhanced concert highlights Elfman’s most iconic scores—gothic lullabies and epic anthems alike—from Batman and Edward Scissorhands to Beetlejuice and Corpse Bride. With violin firebrand Sandy Cameron adding a haunting edge, the performance conjures a strange and beautiful world where whimsy walks hand-in-hand with darkness. It’s a visceral, theatrical journey into a composer’s fantastical mindscape.

Please note: Danny Elfman and Tim Burton will not be present at this performance.
