Experience Danny Elfman live on October 3rd

Danny Elfman will perform at The Masonic in San Francisco on October 3, 2026. Elfman is a prolific composer and musician known for his distinctive, often darkly whimsical style. His work frequently blends orchestral arrangements with elements of pop, rock, and jazz, creating a sound that is both grand and idiosyncratic. He gained prominence through his long-standing collaboration with Tim Burton, composing scores for films like *The Nightmare Before Christmas*, *Beetlejuice*, and *Edward Scissorhands*. Beyond film, Elfman has composed concert music, including the orchestral work *Music from the Batman* and has fronted the band Oingo Boingo.

The Masonic, located at 1111 California Street in San Francisco, is a historic performance venue originally built in 1868 as a meeting place for Freemasons. The building underwent significant renovations in the early 20th century, resulting in its current ornate Beaux-Arts architectural style. It has served various purposes throughout its history, including as a theater and auditorium hosting diverse events such as political rallies and musical performances. Today it functions primarily as a concert hall and event space accommodating approximately 3,200 attendees.
