For the third year, I was privileged to host the American Youth Symphony’s salute to the music of Danny Elfman at UCLA’s Royce Hall. During the afternoon segment, I moderated a mini-panel with the composer’s longtime orchestrator Steve Bartek and mixing engineer Dennis Sands, right after the debut of a new concert suite from the documentary The Unknown Known. The evening performance included music from Dick Tracy, Men in Black, Beetlejuice and other Elfman scores — all conducted by the phenomenal David Newman. Elfman attended the evening performance and accepted a standing ovation from the cheering, sold-out crowd.
