Driving rhythms and wide-screen sounds – the music that made America!
You’ve already heard of Danny Elfman: the film composer behind The Simpsons, Batman and Edward Scissorhands. But tonight, discover another side of his genius, as Colin Currie (as one critic put it, “the world’s finest and most daring percussionist) plays Elfman’s Percussion Concerto. Electrifying stuff: and conductor Fabien Gabel will raise the voltage even higher with symphonic showstoppers from Bernstein’s Candide and West Side Story.
Running time: Approx 2 hours
