Columbus Symphony To Play Danny Elfman's BATMAN Score Live To Film This October

The Columbus Symphony and DC in Concert will present Batman live in concert at the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.) on Saturday, October 19. The performance of Danny Elfman's Grammy Award-winning original score live to film celebrates the iconic DC Super Hero's 85th anniversary as well as the 35th anniversary of the iconic film's release in 1989.

Released June 23, 1989, Warner Bros. Pictures' DC Super Hero film Batman was the top grossing film that year and has remained a fan-favorite for more than three decades. The film was composer Danny Elfman's first collaboration with director Tim Burton and the score was later nominated for a Grammy award. The “Batman Theme” has become an iconic piece, evoking the Caped Crusader for many generations.

In Batman, The Dark Knight, defender of law and order in Gotham City, treads the shadow zone between right and wrong, fighting with only his skill in martial arts and his keenly honed mind to defend the innocent and to purge the memory of his parents' brutal murder – always keeping his true identity as millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne a closely guarded secret.

Tickets are $25-$88 and can be purchased in-person at the CBUSArts Ticket Center (39 E. State St.), online at www.columbussymphony.com or CBUSArts.com or by phone at 614-469-0939.
