The Danny Elfman Project
4 PM Symposium
7 PM Concert
Following the success of The Goldsmith Project, AYS explores the work of famed film composer Danny Elfman. Selections from Elfman’s scores for Tim Burton’s Batman and Edward Scissorhands, among other scores, will be performed alongside classical masterpieces. This is the first in a 3 year project to explore the music and musical life of this brilliant, four-time Oscar-nominated composer. While Elfman has composed concert works as well, this is a rare opportunity to hear his film scores performed live! The afternoon symposium will feature a live performance and discussion of his innovative work and collaborations. David Newman will conduct the American Youth Symphony in this one of a kind project.
Free events | Reservations open March 6
The Elfman Project is supported by a grant from the James Irvine Foundation.
* The date of this concert has been changed to May, 6 2012, from the original date of April 29, 2012.
