# OPRL\+SOUNDTRACK: THE STRANGE CONCERT OF M. ELFMAN By [Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/artist/orchestre-philharmonique-royal-de-liege.md) Categories: - [Classical](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/category/classique.md) HTML version: https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/show/oprl-soundtrack-l-etrange-concert-de-m-elfman ## About ELFMAN, Wunderkammer, for orchestra Trumpet Concerto (Belgian premiere) Musics from the films Batman, Beetlejuice, Charlie and the chocolate factory, Dark Shadow… Paul Merkelo, *trumpet* Choeur Symphonique de Namur Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège Sarah Hicks, *conductor* FILM MUSIC CHORAL UNMISSABLE RETURN TO CHILDHOOD But of course you know Danny Elfman! This self-taught composer has written for nearly all of Tim Burton’s films, from Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in 1985 to Beetlejuice Beetlejuice—and then some—in 2024. The two were made for each other: dark and strange, yet full of fantasy and melancholy, qualities that run through Elfman’s music. Menacing brass, piercing woodwinds, and at the same time wild percussion, and strings that are sometimes mischievous, sometimes nostalgic… Whether in Batman, Beetlejuice—and then again—Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Big Fish, we discover an orchestra that is both gothic and fairytale-like. That is the strange universe of Mr. Elfman. 34 / 34 / 20 / 20 / 12 € Runtime : +/- 2h ## Dates ### [Salle Philharmonique](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/venue/salle-philharmonique-liege.md) — Liège #### April 2027 - Friday, 23 April 2027 20:00 — Available — [Book](https://shop.utick.be/?pos=OPRL&module=ACTIVITYSERIEDETAILS&s=E14873C2-7135-4C2E-6D7E-0B46AFE3B87D) ## Same category: Classical - [Vivaces](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/show/vivaces.md): 6 Nov - [Aux sources de Bach](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/show/aux-sources-de-bach.md): 6 Nov - [Concert d'ouverture des 60es Fêtes de la Saint-Martin](https://infinitix-site.jwcloud.be/en/show/concert-d-ouverture-des-60es-fetes-de-la-saint-martin.md): 7 Nov (2 dates) - [OLE \!
