WELCOME Happy New Year! “New” is a word we use a lot at the Colorado Symphony. New means innovation, change, originality, and uniqueness – all elements of today’s Colorado Symphony. As CEO, I constantly seek new and creative ways to preserve the cultural legacy of symphonic music while actively co-creating its future. Over the past three years, we’ve reached a new height of artistic excellence and are now recognized as one the best orchestras in the United States. We’ve also made changes that reflect our embrace of the new – including new audiences. Take a look at the calendar. From traditional Masterwork and Pops to the new Colorado Symphony Presents series, you’ll see we offer a truly broad range of programming designed to appeal to a diverse audience. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or totally new to the experience, we want you to feel invited and welcome when you visit us at our home, Boettcher Concert Hall, or any of the community venues where we perform all season long. Over the past three years, the Colorado Symphony has developed a range of new initiatives to support its mission, including: • Creation of original musical content for corporate partners, including a theme song for Arrow Electronics and a soundtrack for the Colorado Rockies 2014 season. • High-profile creative collaborations with major cultural institutions including the Denver Art Museum and the Biennial of the Americas. • Partnerships with emerging Colorado industries including craft breweries and legal cannabis. • Embrace of digital and social media, increasing online audience engagement by 80% in a twelve-month period. • Targeted audience development initiatives that have increased attendance among younger, previously unaffiliated patrons by 40%. • Broad education programs that support lifelong learning among children and adults. • A community ticketing program that invites underserved families into the concert experience. Our initiatives are working – and gaining notice. This year, the Colorado Symphony was profiled by the world’s leading media outlets (including a feature in The New York Times). Every week, we see new people in the audience at Boettcher Concert Hall. It’s a thrill for all of us, especially our musicians. I hope you’re as excited as we are by all that awaits in the year ahead. Thank you for supporting the Colorado Symphony. We hope to delight you – and maybe even to surprise you – in 2015. Jerome H. Kern CEO / Co-chair of the Board of Trustees 6 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
COLORADO SYMPHONY GUILD
A
great city is defined by its arts and culture. The Colorado Symphony Guild believes our wonderful symphony orchestra is vital to the image and reality of a vibrant arts and culture scene in Denver. The Guild’s mission statement is clear that our purpose is “to support the orchestra…; [and] to foster and encourage musical appreciation, knowledge and participation of the membership and the public.” We are proud to have helped make the music happen in this great city for 80 years! The non-profit Colorado Symphony Guild was founded in 1935 by Mrs. Jean Chappell Cranmer, a cultural leader in Denver. Mrs. Cranmer recognized the potential value of organizing volunteers to support the Denver Symphony Orchestra, not only for annual fundraising campaigns, but to nurturer music appreciation and support of the arts by a broad spectrum of the community and to foster the next generation of concert audiences from among the youth in the city. Today the Symphony Guild numbers 300 dedicated members. Our volunteers plan and conduct major fundraising activities, assist at Colorado Symphony Kids concerts, participate in planning and staffing the annual Symphony Ball, and conduct music education seminars. Even The Shop in Boettcher is a Symphony Guild enterprise. When you purchase the marvelous clothing, jewelry or gifts which our buyer carefully selects from around the globe, you are supporting the Symphony. All income from The Shop and Guild fundraisers finds its way to the Colorado Symphony! Each of the Guild’s eight Chapters meets once a month for a business meeting, socializing and musical entertainment, often provided by Colorado Symphony musicians. Guild activities include: • October’s “Fall Fun and Fashions” event at Pinehurst Country Club. • A December Holiday Party at the Governor’s Residence. This year’s special guest was Scott O’Neil, Resident Conductor of the Colorado Symphony. • “Bach’s Lunch” when we serve a luncheon for orchestra musicians. • I n March we will inaugurate a fundraising breakfast at the Embassy Suites hotel for the downtown Denver corporate community. • J une 6 will see party guests in Diamonds and Denim, Boots and Bling at the Guild’s “Sparklin’ Western Affair” at the Denver West Marriott. Information for Guild events can be found on our web site, coloradosymphonyguild.org. Join us! Membership forms are available in the Boettcher Concert Hall Lobby or at coloradosymphony.org.

This March, the Colorado Symphony celebrates the legends, and lesser-known voices, of the American symphonic form. 16 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
L
eonard Bernstein, George Gershwin, Samuel Barber: Three names that loom large in the canon of American symphonic music. All three greats feature prominently in the Colorado Symphony’s “American Festival,” Part I and II, which showcases masters who have created, perfected, and expanded the American idiom in symphonic music. So do Stephen Albert and Kevin Puts, two lesser-known modern composers whose works inform the evolving definition of American music. “The American Festival” concerts will occupy the stage of Boettcher Concert Hall three weeks throughout the month of March; Music Director Andrew Litton conducts. Opening the festival February 28, “The American Festival: Part I” features former Colorado Symphony principal clarinetist Bil Jackson, who returns to perform Kevin Puts’ Clarinet Concerto, originally premiered by the Colorado Symphony during the 2008/09 season, conducted by then Music

Anne Akiko Meyers will perform Barber’s Violin Concerto as part of the American Festival Part II, March 13-15. SOUNDINGS 2013/14 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG 17
Director Jeffrey Kahane. Puts, who currently serves as Composer in Residence with the Fort Worth Symphony, won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Music, for Silent Night. The Colorado Symphony will perform his Two Mountain Scenes, which was jointly commissioned by the Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival and the New York Philharmonic and inspired by the lush mountainscapes of Colorado. Stephen Albert
Leonard Bernstein
The program concludes with Bernstein’s iconic The Age of Anxiety, Symphony No. 2, titled after W.H. Auden’s poem of the same name. “The American Festival: Part II” runs March 13-15 with Gershwin’s Cuban Overture: “Rhumba.” The transcendent Anne Akiko Meyers returns to perform Barber’s Violin Concerto, one of the most frequently performed concertos of the 20th century. RiverRun, a Pulitzer Prize-winning symphony by the late Stephen Albert, rounds out the eclectic program. A former Composer in Residence with the Seattle Symphony, Albert’s star was on the ascent when in 1992, he was killed in an automobile accident, at age 51. His influence transcended his short career: In 1995, he posthumously won a Grammy® for “Cello Concerto” as performed by Yo-Yo Ma.

STAFF SPOTLIGHT MEET CHRISTINA CARLSON :
FUNDRAISER, PHILANTHROPIST, COLORADO NATIVE When Christina Carlson joined the Colorado Symphony as Vice President of Development in October, she brought a wealth of experience within the non-profit sector, with an emphasis on human services and education. As a member of an Executive Leadership Team led by CEO and Board co-chair Jerome H. Kern, Christina manages strategic initiatives to develop and sustain new sources of contributed income, deepen partnerships with Colorado’s corporate and business communities, cultivate and nurture donors both new and traditional, and support the Colorado Symphony’s financial health in the short- and long-term. Before joining the CSO, Christina served as the Director of Development at DSST Public Schools and as the Executive Director of the Family & Intercultural Resource Center in Summit County. Christina’s professional background includes teaching, child protection case work, and fundraising. She has served on numerous non-profit boards and is currently the Vice Chair of The Odyssey School of Denver’s board. Christina was named Newsmaker of the Year in 2005 by the Summit Daily for her work surrounding immigrant integration. She holds a B.A. in Art History from Willamette University and an M.S.W. from the University of Denver. Christina spends her free time with her family which includes her husband John and children John and Samson. What most excites you about joining the Colorado Symphony? I’ve been a fan of the Colorado Symphony my whole life, and it’s an honor and a thrill to serve as its Vice President of Development. The Colorado Symphony is a vital cultural asset to Denver and the entire Western region; I’ve been impressed by the organization’s willingness to embrace innovation and change in its programming as well as its business model. I feel privileged to join such an innovative and collaborative organization that is so deeply committed to presenting excellent music that is both timeless and inspiring. Selfishly I am excited to get to attend concerts and other musical events under the guise of “work.” How lucky am I?
Why is it important to support the Colorado Symphony? Philanthropy is a Greek term which when directly translated means for the “love of mankind,” and who benefits more from music than mankind? Music is one of the things that makes us uniquely human and therefore is deeply deserving of all of our support. The Colorado Symphony is a critical thread in the fabric of this city and state. Our ongoing success is dependent on community and philanthropic support. You’re a Denver native. What makes Colorado such a special place to live? I am a Colorado girl though and though. Our incredible natural environment and the city of Denver provide the best of all worlds. The

weather is ideal, because if you don’t like the current condition just wait ten minutes and it likely to change. We see the sun almost every day. No matter what your passion is you can feed it here. We care deeply about our community and our environment. I love to ski, hike, eat out at a great restaurant, attend a sporting event, visit a museum with my kids, or attend a world class concert by the Colorado Symphony. I feel lucky to live in Colorado and am excited that my children Christina and her family hiking in Summit County, CO.
“Music is one of the things that makes us uniquely human and therefore is deeply deserving of all of our support.” get to grow up in a city and a state that provides excellent educational options, high quality cultural arts, and endless opportunity for outdoor adventure. What’s a typical Sunday like for you? I am at a stage in life where Sunday -- well maybe every day -- is a little nutty. I have two young children: John is six and Samson
is two. So you can imagine that life is busy and not entirely glamorous. Sundays often include grocery shopping, laundry, walking the dog, football, cooking, and hopefully a family show at the Colorado Symphony. Every once in a while my husband and I find time to have a conversation that is not about any of the aforementioned topics. Anything you’d like to add? Did you know that 100% of the musicians and staff at the Colorado Symphony made a financial donation to the Colorado Symphony this year? Please join us by making your first or an additional tax deductible financial contribution to the Colorado Symphony. There is a gift envelope in this Soundings that we will gratefully accept at the box office. You can take it home and stick it in the mail, or log on to coloradosymphony.org to make a donation.

POPS PROGRAM NOTES A NOTE FROM JOHNNY DEPP Danny and Tim, without doubt, are the two greatest gifts this job ever gave me. I would be neither here, there, nor probably anywhere without them and their general magnificence. Now, the world is fully aware of the individual genius to be found betwixt the two, but what is more important here is the way in which these unique talents combine and ultimately complement one another, allowing the other’s work to bloom in a way unforeseen independently. Essentially, Danny’s darkly sonorous creations are the audio manifestations of Tim’s singularly shadowy visions. He is the Ralph Steadman to Tim’s Hunter S. Thompson. Together they breathe color into one another’s worlds — from my initial experience, working alongside them both — on Edward Scissorhands, throughout the many projects that constitute a relationship, which now spans some 20 years…and counting. His music, so warm and inviting, yet somehow unnerving, ultimately manages to sound both elegant and haunting, perfectly defining the character of that very first collaboration. Having then unearthed the precise mood of Tim’s film, within the divine notes of his celestial score, Danny soundtracked the tale’s soul deep into the hearts of millions. Subsequently, their working relationship has never floundered. Time after time, their industry gives birth to new beings of wonder and weirdness, charged to delight and excite cinema goers the planet ‘round. So, a match made in the stars, you might say.

POPS BIOGRAPHIES DANNY ELFMAN AND TIM BURTON Danny Elfman’s working relationship with Tim Burton is one of the longest and most successful filmmaker/composer collaborations in the history of film—and one of the most unexpected. Elfman was drawn to the movies his entire life, but only came to music as a young adult and with no formal training. It was at 18, during a year of traveling in West Africa, when Elfman picked up his first musical instrument (violin) and began to toy with the fantasy of a musical direction for his life. At 19, he teamed up with his brother Richard, who founded the avant-garde musical cabaret troupe “The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo”, and it was there Elfman taught himself to write music by doing transcriptions of early 1930’s jazz bands. He also began writing his first compositions. After eight years with the troupe, Elfman started the idiosyncratic rock band known simply as Oingo Boingo. As their writer and singer he performed and recorded with them for almost two decades. But there was another side to Danny Elfman—the kid who religiously attended Saturday matinees, watching every type of horror and fantasy movie imaginable. The young Danny had no interest in music—he wanted to be a scientist, or a “radiation biologist” as he once explained. When he did begin to notice music, it was movie music, and he found a particular delight in the filmmaker/composer relationship of stop-motion animator Ray Harryhausen and Bernard Herrmann. “If I saw the names Harryhausen and Herrmann in the same title sequence,” he said, “I already knew the movie was going to be a huge favorite—something really special.” In high school Elfman began listening to the classical composers who would later become his inspiration. The Russian composers Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich particularly got under his skin. He also began to refine his interest in film, rediscovering Bernard Herrmann through the legendary composer’s other great collaborator, Alfred Hitchcock. Elfman was absorbing the language of movie music. His first taste in scoring would come from another collaboration with his brother, who directed the cult film Forbidden Zone in the late ’70s—but he wouldn’t truly become a film composer until 1985, when he got a strange call from an extraordinary young animator he had never heard of. Tim Burton came out of the suburbs of Burbank and the California Institute for the Arts (CalArts), and, like Elfman, he had been mesmerized by Ray Harryhausen’s stop-motion fantasies as a child, as well as the vivid black-and-crimson iconographies of horror films. Burton had made an uncomfortable fit for the Walt Disney Company, toiling as a conceptual artist and animator on movies like The Fox and the Hound. But his short film Frankenweenie grabbed the attention of executives and filmmakers in Hollywood...including Paul Reubens, the performer who created and portrayed Pee-wee Herman. Reubens and Phil Hartman had written a movie for the character called Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, and after seeing Frankenweenie, Reubens quickly lobbied for Burton to direct it. Both Burton and Reubens were familiar with Danny Elfman through Oingo Boingo, and Forbidden Zone, and when editor Billy Webber tracked a scene from the movie with music from Bernard Herrmann’s score to the Harryhausen movie The 7Th Voyage of Sinbad, Burton loved the effect. When Elfman came in to interview for the job, he happened to mention that very PROGRAM 4 SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG
POPS BIOGRAPHIES same score as one of his life-long favorites. Burton was sold, and Elfman, after some hesitation, decided to jump into a completely new world, figuring he’d either learn to swim or drown in the attempt. He was certain of one thing: the score would not be a rock score. He would explore an insane mashup of Bernard Herrmann and Nino Rota (who did Federico Fellini’s scores) and in the process created an alternately joyous and manic sound that fit the hyper-enthusiastic Pee-wee character like a glove. Elfman’s score to Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure was a revelation, and an instantly indelible musical personality had invaded film. And Elfman was also now hooked on a new addiction…film scoring. He immediately began getting offers to score other films, but it was already clear he had a special working relationship with Burton. Their next collaboration was another comedy, but one out of left field—the “ghost exterminator” story Beetlejuice, a movie that allowed Burton to express his own personality more than he had on Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. Elfman’s frantic opening music demonstrated his love for the “danse macabre”—the ability to have a fiendishly good time. Elfman and Burton would both have to prove themselves on their next project: Batman. Shot well before the current vogue of costumed superheroes, Burton’s take on the Caped Crusader created a shadowy world halfway between a film noir and an animated graphic novel. The film required a major symphonic score, which he knew would be an enormous challenge. Elfman’s score was a sensation—as quirky and unpredictable as his earlier comic works, yet so muscular and violently stark that it instantly helped define the comic book genre. Amazingly, Elfman faced doubts again on his fourth collaboration with Burton, Edward Scissorhands. With three successes under his belt, Burton could afford to make a film that was truly his, and Edward was nakedly autobiographical, depicting an inarticulate, artistic character adrift in a hostile world that looked suspiciously like the suburbs of Burbank. There were no questions about whether Elfman could score this kind of a movie, because no one knew what kind of a movie Edward Scissorhands. was. But from the opening celeste notes of Elfman’s score, it was clear he had found Edward’s soul. Edward Scissorhands. became a film music genre just as much as Burton’s film defined his output as a director—and it’s still perhaps Elfman’s most imitated and personal work. Burton and Elfman revisited Batman with Batman Returns, expanding on the gothic landscape both men had initiated in their first effort, with Elfman providing distinctive approaches to Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman and Danny DeVito’s Penguin. But for their next project, the two men dug into their past love of stop-motion animation and took advantage of Elfman’s skills as a songwriter and performer. The Nightmare Before Christmas turned vintage Rankin-Bass holiday specials inside out, exploring a monsters-eye-view of Christmas through the character of Jack Skellington, brought to life with the singing voice of Elfman himself. The Nightmare Before Christmas was a vivid, original vision and a cult smash, throwing songs like “This Is Halloween” into the cultural marketplace and again demonstrating Elfman’s versatility. Mars Attacks! bubbled with subversive humor, kicked off by Elfman’s Russian-inspired main title march, which grows from an impishly comic rhythm into a full-blown sci-fi anthem complete with theremin. Elfman and Burton explored more serious genre territory in their next two collaborations. Sleepy Hollow was Burton’s love poem to the British Hammer horror movies he’d loved as a child, and SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 5
POPS BIOGRAPHIES Elfman responded with a richly atmospheric and gothic score. For Planet Of The Apes, Elfman stepped into the footsteps of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith, fashioning his own musical world of simian rule using the massive collection of exotic percussion instruments he’d collected as far back as his teenage trip to Africa. As he had with Batman, Burton followed up Planet Of The Apes with a more personal project. BIG FISH mixed Burtonesque fantasy with a more serious personal drama, as a resentful son tries to come to terms with his father’s predilection for tall tales—lies, as the son sees them. By the time he scored Big Fish, Danny Elfman had been completely accepted in Hollywood—in 1997 he received his first Oscar® nominations for both Good Will Hunting and Men In Black. For his touching Americana score to Big Fish, Elfman received his first Oscar® nomination earned by one of his collaborations with Tim Burton. For Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, Elfman again took advantage of his rock and performance background to create the songs performed by the movie’s diminutive Oompa-Loompas (all voiced by Elfman) in a pageant of pop rock styles—everything from Beatles-esque to Bollywood, all alongside an evocative orchestral score to characterize the edible environment of Willy Wonka’s sweets factory. Burton and Elfman returned to the gothic stop-motion territory of The Nightmare Before Christmas in Corpse Bride, with Elfman creating songs whose inspiration ranged from Gilbert and Sullivan to Cab Calloway. Burton’s adaptation of Alice In Wonderland became one of the biggest money makers in movie history in 2010, a hugely challenging technical exercise for the director, who shot the majority of the film on green screen sets so most of his cast could be transformed into computer-generated versions of Lewis Carroll’s classic characters. Elfman responded to the controlled chaos by writing one of his grandest scores, driven by his stirring “Alice’s Theme.” For their most recent collaborations, Burton and Elfman once again turned to their genre pasts. Burton cast Johnny Depp, the star of numerous Burton films, as Barnabas Collins in his tonguein-cheek remake of the Dark Shadows television series, which showed the director still has chops for the offbeat comedy he demonstrated in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure and Beetlejuice. Elfman created a lush score dominated by the iconic, sensuous flutes inspired by the eerie vibe on from the ’70s television series. Burton mounted an animated version of his own Frankenweenie in 2012 (which ironically, was his first live-action film). Filmed in black-and-white, Frankenweenie sprang directly from Burton’s illustrations, and Elfman returned to his gothic, yet emotionally charged style to accompany the story of a young boy who brings his pet dog back to life. Elfman and Burton continue their movie music relationship with Burton’s forthcoming Big Eyes, which will mark their 16th collaboration spanning over 25 prolific years. Jeff Bond is the author of Danse Macabre: 25 Years of Danny Elfman and Tim Burton.

POPS BIOGRAPHIES DANNY ELFMAN Over the last 30 years, four-time Oscar® nominee Danny Elfman has established himself as one of the most versatile and accomplished film composers in the industry. He has collaborated with such directors as Tim Burton, Gus Van Sant, Sam Raimi, Paul Haggis, Ang Lee, Rob Marshall, Guillermo del Toro, Brian De Palma, and Peter Jackson. Beginning with his first score on Tim Burton’s Pee-wee’s Big Adventure, Elfman has scored a broad range of films, including: Milk (Oscar® nominated), Good Will Hunting (Oscar® nominated), Big Fish (Oscar® nominated), Men in Black (Oscar® nominated), Edward Scissorhands, Wanted, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Mission: Impossible, Planet of the Apes, A Simple Plan, To Die For, Spider-Man (1 & 2), Batman, Dolores Claiborne, Sommersby, Chicago, Dick Tracy, The Nightmare Before Christmas and Alice in Wonderland. Most recently he has provided the music for David O’ Russell’s award-winning films Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, Mr. Peabody and Sherman, the Errol Morris documentary The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld, and Tim Burton’s Big Eyes. A native of Los Angeles, Elfman grew up loving film music. He travelled the world as a young man, absorbing its musical diversity. He helped found the band Oingo Boingo, and came to the attention of a young Tim Burton, who asked him to write the score for Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. 25 years later, the two have forged one of the most fruitful composer-director collaborations in film history. In addition to his film work, Elfman wrote the iconic theme music for the television series The Simpsons and Desperate Housewives. He also composed a ballet, Rabbit and Rogue, choreographed by Twyla Tharp, a symphony entitled Serenada Schizophrana for Carnegie Hall, an overture called The Overeager Overture for the Hollywood Bowl, and, Iris—a Cirque du Soleil show. “Having a particular style is not bad,” says Elfman, “but I prefer to push myself in the direction of being a composer who you never know what he’s doing next.”
TIM BURTON Tim Burton, widely regarded as one of the cinema’s most imaginative filmmakers, has enjoyed great success in both the live-action and animation arenas. Most recently Burton directed Big Eyes and the critically acclaimed Frankenweenie which was a 2012 Academy Award® nominee for Best Animated Picture. Earlier in 2012 Burton directed Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter and Eva Green in the gothic thriller Dark Shadows, based on the cult favorite television show. He also produced the fantasy horror Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter which was directed by Timur Behmambetov. In 2010, he directed Alice in Wonderland, an epic fantasy based on the classic story by Lewis Carroll, and starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, and Mia Wasikowska in the title role. The film earned more than a billion dollars at the worldwide box office, making it the second-highest-grossing release of 2010. Alice in Wonderland also received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy, and won two Academy Awards®, for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. Burton was previously honored with an Academy Award® nomination for Best Animated Feature for the 2005 stop-motion film Corpse Bride, which he directed and produced. He earlier received SOUNDINGS 2014/15 | COLORADOSYMPHONY.ORG PROGRAM 7
POPS BIOGRAPHIES BAFTA Award and Critics’ Choice Award nominations for Best Director for the acclaimed fantasy drama Big Fish. More recently, Burton won a National Board of Review Award and garnered Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award nominations for his directing work on Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which also won the Golden Globe for Best Film – Musical or Comedy. Depp earned an Oscar® nomination for his performance in the title role of Burton’s 2007 film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical thriller, also starring Bonham Carter and Alan Rickman. Burton began his film career in animation, and, in 1982, directed the stop-motion animated short “Vincent,” narrated by Vincent Price, which was an award winner on the film festival circuit. He made his feature film directorial debut in 1985 with the hit comedy Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. In 1988, Burton helmed the inventive comedy hit Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton as the title character. He then reteamed with Keaton on the action blockbusters Batman, which became the top-grossing film of 1989 and also starred Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and Batman Returns, also starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito. In 1990, Burton directed, co-wrote and produced the romantic fantasy Edward Scissorhands, which was acclaimed by both critics and audiences. The film also marked the start of his successful cinematic partnership with Johnny Depp, who delivered a poignant performance in the title role. Their subsequent collaborations include the Burton-directed films Ed Wood, also starring Martin Landau in an Oscar®-winning portrayal of Bela Lugosi; Sleepy Hollow, adapted from the classic tale by Washington Irving; and the 2005 worldwide smash Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which was based on Roald Dahl’s beloved book and grossed more than $470 million worldwide. Burton’s additional directing credits include the all-star sci-fi comedy Mars Attacks!, which he also produced, and the 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes, which marked his first collaboration with producer Richard Zanuck. Burton also conceived and produced the stop-motion animated feature The Nightmare Before Christmas, which remains an enduring holiday favorite. In addition, he has produced such films as Cabin Boy, Batman Forever, and the animated features James and the Giant Peach and 9. In 2010, the filmmaker released The Art of Tim Burton, a 430-page book comprising more than 40 years of his personal and project artwork. In November of that year, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) opened an extensive exhibit of his work, which went on to tour in Melbourne, Toronto, Los Angeles, Paris, and Seoul.
