Welcome to the fantastic worlds of Tim Burton! We invite you on a journey through the music that made them unforgettable.
From the shimmering wonder of Alice in Wonderland to the festive magic of Nightmare Before Christmas, from the mysterious poetry of Edward with the Scissorhands to the eccentric brilliance of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - this concert will transport you to the soundscapes that shaped Burton's unique cinematic universe.
The focus is on the music of Danny Elfman, Burton's long-time companion and one of the most independent film composers of our time. Elfman's music combines playfulness with menace, delicacy with grandeur - a perfect reflection of Burton's visual imagination. In addition to Elfman, other highlights await you: unforgettable moments from Corpse Bride, the cult film Beetlejuice, the dark power of Batman and the razor-sharp drama of Sweeney Todd - The Devilish Barber of Fleet Street.
In this performance, Horizons Ensemble brings Burton's worlds to life in unique arrangements. You can look forward to soaring melodies, powerful instrumental timbres and an atmosphere that changes in an instant - from the macabre to the magical, from the intimate to the epic.
