ABOUT DANNY ELFMAN
For over 30 years, four-time Oscar nominee DANNY ELFMAN (Composer) has established himself as one of the most versatile and accomplished film composers in the industry. He has collaborated with directors such as Tim Burton, Gus Van Sant, Sam Raimi, Noah Baumbach, Peter Jackson, Ang Lee, Rob Minkoff, Guillermo del Toro, Brian De Palma, James Ponsoldt and David O’ Russell. Beginning with his first score on Tim Burton’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Elfman has scored over 100 films, including: Milk (Oscar-nominated), Good Will Hunting (Oscar-nominated), Big Fish (Oscar-nominated), Men in Black (Oscar-nominated), Edward Scissorhands, Batman, To Die For, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Beetlejuice,The Grinch, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Spider-Man, A Simple Plan, Midnight Run, Sommersby, Dolores Claiborne and the Errol Morris documentaries The Unknown Known and Standard Operating Procedure. In addition to his film work, Elfman wrote the iconic theme music for the television series The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives. More recently, Elfman scored the Marvel feature Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Noah Baumbach’s film White Noise and Tim Burton’s series Wednesday, for which he won the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme. Up next for Elfman is the highly anticipated sequel, Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
A native of Los Angeles, Elfman grew up loving film music. He travelled the world as a young man, absorbing its musical diversity. He helped found the band Oingo Boingo, and came to the attention of a young Tim Burton, who asked him to write the score for Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. Thirty-nine years later, the two have forged one of the most fruitful composer/director collaborations in film history. Throughout his career, Elfman has been honored with four Oscar nominations, two Emmy Awards, a Grammy Award, the 2002 Richard Kirk Award, the 2015 Disney Legend Award and the Max Steiner Film Music Achievement Award in 2017. He also has an incredible seven Saturn Awards in the Best Music category, most recently winning in 2022 for his scoring work on Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Elfman has expanded his writing to composing orchestral concert works, which include: “Serenada Schizophrana,” a symphony commissioned by the American Composer’s Orchestra, which premiered at Carnegie Hall in 2005; “Rabbit and Rogue” for the American Ballet Theater, choreographed by Twyla Tharp and performed at The Metropolitan Opera house in 2008; and “Iris” for Cirque du Soleil, directed by French choreographer Philippe Decouflé. In 2013, “Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton” live orchestral concert premiered at Royal Albert Hall, and has since toured around the world and won two Emmys.
In 2017, Elfman premiered his first violin concerto, “Eleven Eleven,” which was co-commissioned by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra and Stanford Live and had its world premiere in 2017 with the CNSO at the Prague Proms Festival, which was followed by the U.S. premiere at Stanford Live’s Bing Concert Hall in March 2018. “The Percussion Concerto” was recorded by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and released on Sony Classical records in 2024. In 2022, three of Elfman’s orchestral compositions had European world premieres: “Percussion Concerto” was performed by Colin Currie with the London Philharmonic Orchestra; “Eleven” was recorded by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and released on Sony Classical records (which also contains his first Piano Quartet, commissioned by the Berlin Philharmonic Piano Quartet); and “The Cello Concerto” was performed by Gautier Capuçon with the Vienna Symphony, which then received its U.S. premiere in November 2022 with the San Francisco Symphony.
In 2021, Elfman performed a concert of The Nightmare Before Christmas, featuring Billie Eilish. That same year he released his wildly ambitious double album Big Mess, and followed it with the release of Bigger. Messier.—a genre-defying collection of remixed and reimagined versions of songs from the record that features guest appearances by the likes of Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop and more. The Big Mess project culminated with his critically acclaimed career-spanning 2022 Coachella concert, along with an internet-shattering pair of performances at back-to-back sold-out shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, CA.
This November, Elfman’s renowned concert, Danny Elfman: From Boingo to Batman to Big Mess and Beyond, returns to the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on November 2 and, for the first time, Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA, on November 3. Tickets are available HERE.
