Tim Burton and Danny Elfman are responsible for some of the greatest moments in film history. In celebration of their 30-year partnership, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will perform Elfman’s scores from some of Burton’s films. Grammy Award-winner and four-time Oscar nominee Elfman, who also penned the theme song for The Simpsons, has written the scores for 16 of Burton’s films.
