About
Two-time Oscar winner Gustavo Santaolalla (The Last of Us, Brokeback Mountain) plays a ronroco-centered concert in the NY Phil's Artist Spotlight series, April 11, 2027.
Santaolalla's ronroco — the small Andean lute behind The Last of Us theme — has one of the most recognizable sounds in film and game music, and he rarely tours the U.S. Geffen Hall gives that intimate instrument a big-room frame. Expect a crossover crowd of gamers, film buffs and Latin-music fans. It's a single night, so waiting for a second chance isn't an option.
What to expect
An evening built around Santaolalla's ronroco and guitar work, drawing on his film, game and Latin-rock catalog; roughly 90 minutes to two hours.
