La La Land

0 upcoming performances in New York

Justin Hurwitz’s score for *La La Land* frames a modern movie musical about two artists chasing separate careers and testing a shared romance, set against the mythology of Los Angeles. Its themes borrow from jazz idioms and pop structure, using recurring motifs to track ambition, compromise, and time. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and later became a major awards-season reference point for contemporary studio musicals. At Radio City Music Hall, the music is presented live, shifting attention from image to orchestration and rhythm.
