An Evening with Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman, known for composing the music for dozens of film and television projects including the themes for *The Simpsons* and *Desperate Housewives*, performs in San Francisco. His career began as lead vocalist and songwriter for the new wave band Oingo Boingo, and he has scored nearly 20 films for director Tim Burton, among them *Batman*, *Edward Scissorhands*, and *The Nightmare Before Christmas*. Elfman's concert is expected to cover his wide-ranging output, from Oingo Boingo hits to orchestral film scores.

Attendees can expect a performance from a composer who has received four Oscar nominations, three Emmy Awards, and a Grammy. Elfman started in avant-garde theater with Le Grand Magic Circus before forming Oingo Boingo. His show draws from both his rock and film-music backgrounds.

The concert offers a chance to hear music from over 100 feature film scores, as well as songs from his early career. Elfman's work spans genres and decades, making this a unique live experience.
