Join us as we welcome the most influential concert promoter in history – the incomparable Ron Delsener – for a screening and discussion of the documentary film Ron Delsener Presents. Step into the untold story of the man who brought New York City to life, one concert at a time. Ron Delsener Presents is a high-energy, behind-the-scenes look at the legendary promoter who helped shape the sound of a generation — from Hendrix to Springsteen and beyond
In a career spanning sixty years, concert promoter and impresario Ron Delsener was the name behind virtually every major contemporary music concert in New York City for generations. From promoting the Beatles at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, to bringing David Bowie to Carnegie Hall and Patti Smith to the Palladium, to somehow convincing Simon and Garfunkel to bury the hatchet and play the biggest concert of all time in Central Park, Ron Delsener was behind it all. Through a portrait of a mercurial and relentless showman, Ron Delsener Presents takes us behind-the-curtain through the last half century of the live music business, chronicling the tactics that drove live performance from disorganized, low-fi nightclubs to international tours, arenas, stadiums, and, eventually, into a global empire. A transformation that Delsener is in many ways responsible for. Working in a business he helped to create, Ron Delsener, now in the later stages of his life, still has his hand in the game. Sure, he could stop - he maybe even should but Ron doesn’t know how. (USA, 2023, 96 mins, English | Dir. Jake Sumner)
