This weekend, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra is bringing a truly cinematic concert experience to the stage with Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton, running March 13-15.

In this spellbinding collaboration between legendary composer Danny Elfman and visionary filmmaker Tim Burton, audiences will experience the whimsical and dramatic scores from Burton’s most beloved films performed live by the orchestra. As the music unfolds, original sketches, drawings, and storyboards from Burton’s creative archives are projected above the stage, immersing the audience in the imaginative worlds that have defined their decades-long partnership.

Adding to the excitement, Elfman himself will appear as a special guest alongside conductor Sarah Hicks, violinist Sandy Cameron, and the Dallas Symphony Chorus for select vocal moments that highlight Elfman’s signature sound. The program features music from fan-favorite films, including Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Batman, Beetlejuice, and more.

This unique multimedia performance blends live symphonic music, film, and visual art, offering both film lovers and classical audiences a rare opportunity to experience Elfman and Burton’s iconic collaboration in a completely new way.
