- Minnesota Orchestra
- Sarah Hicks, conductor
It was late one fall in Halloween land
And the air had quite a chill
Against the moon a skeleton sat
Alone upon a hill
That poem is the genesis of filmmaker Tim Burton’s macabre mashup of Halloween and Christmas, a movie favorite since 1993.
Now for the first time, this spooky spectacular comes to Orchestra Hall, with the Minnesota Orchestra playing Danny Elfman’s frightfully original score live, while the scary story plays on the big screen. Don’t sit alone upon a hill this Halloween—scare up some friends and come to Orchestra Hall!
