Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton

A magical celebration of one of cinema’s most inventive duos performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and Kantos Chamber Choir. Tim Burton’s films conjure up captivating worlds, and the incredible musical imagination of Danny Elfman brings those stories to life. Outrageously tuneful, deliciously dark or just plain fantastical, there’s no film composer quite like him. Tonight, the Orchestra celebrate music and storytelling, performing works from Beetlejuice, Batman, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland, Edward Scissorhands and more, all enhanced by visuals of original sketches, drawings and storyboards on the big screen.
