Vitamin String Quartet Performs the Nightmare Before Christmas

Vitamin String Quartet

Danny Elfman's macabre holiday classic reimagined as a sharp, staccato string quartet. Equal parts spooky, elegant, and rhythmically playful.

A whimsical and slightly macabre theatricality that feels both sophisticated and playful.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic pizzicato section in This Is Halloween that mimics the chaotic energy of the original vocal ensemble.
The mournful, sustained cello melody in Sally's Song that captures the character's longing without a single word.
The way the four instruments trade the complex, overlapping melodies during the Town Meeting Song.
