Film composer and long-time Tim Burton collaborator, Danny Elfman performed selected pieces from his movie soundtracking back-catalogue at a recent London show.
The concert marked Elfman’s first public vocal performance in 18 years, taking place at London’s Albert Hall earlier in October. The composter performed pieces from the scores of such films as Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland and more, teaming up with the Oingo Boingo band, BBC Concert Orchestra, Maida Vale Singers and Helena Bonham Carter during the show.
