For the past few years, Luzern’s 21st Century Orchestra has become very important.
They’ve been playing a lot of Film Music concerts, and live orchestra screenings around the world…

The week-end of March 21st-23rd is going to be a nice week-end for Elfman Fans.

First, Danny Elfman’s music from the films of Tim Burton, march 21st.

Very cool.
Got some family in Switzerland, I might attend.

Edit : no I won’t, I’m working on a Festival during that period. Darn.

How cool is that?!??? Seeing Elfman three times in a year?!?!!!!

Danny Elfman to Attend ‘Alice in Wonderland’ World Premiere Live to Projection Concert

Anyone going to San Diego Comic Con this year? If you are you need to go here: EMARCADERO MARINA PARK SOUTH Friday night. This is an outdoor concert so you bring your lawn chair and sit any where around the event for free.

Very cool indeed. I’m even more bitter that I can’t attend…

There’s actually going to be a Q & A before the show, and a meet & greet and signing session after the show…
They still don’t know if he’s going to sing. It has not been decided yet!

The concert was amazing. Elfman attended the whole concert, and then, came on stage at the end.
He sang “What’s this” as an additional encore.

After the concert, he quickly came in the lobby and met the fans, took time to sign autographs, take photos and talk to the people. It was very nice. The next day, the orchestra played the complete Alice In Wonderland score, syncnronized to the movie, It was outstanding. At the end, again, Elfman met the audience in the lobby.
If you like film music, you definitely need to go to Lucerne to hear the 21st Century Orchestra play at the KKL.
Their professionalism, and their organisation is fantastic, and they make it easy to meet and talk to great composers.
Howard Shore, Michael Giacchino, Lisa Gerrard and Hans Zimmer are next!

Here’s a link to the AUDIO recording of the Q&A with Elfman, in Lucerne :
