Toronto’s Meridian Hall is set to transform into a stage of dreams when La La Land In Concert arrives on Saturday, March 7, 2026. For one dazzling evening, film lovers and music enthusiasts alike will step into the world of Damien Chazelle’s Academy Award®-winning masterpiece, reimagined with a live symphony orchestra, choir, and jazz ensemble.

Presented by Lions Gate and Hurwitz Concerts, and produced by Live Nation Canada, this event is far more than a screening—it’s a cinematic and musical journey where every note and every scene unfold in perfect harmony.

A Live-to-Film Musical Experience

As the film plays on the big screen, composer Justin Hurwitz’s celebrated score will be performed in real time, immersing audiences in the unforgettable soundscape that helped earn La La Land six Academy Awards®. Among the highlights is the Oscar®-winning song “City of Stars”, written by acclaimed songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, brought to life in a way that promises to stir both nostalgia and wonder.

Starring Emma Stone as Mia, a hopeful actress, and Ryan Gosling as Sebastian, a devoted jazz musician, the story follows their pursuit of love and ambition in Los Angeles—the city of stars. Balancing romance with artistic struggle, the film has resonated worldwide as a modern classic, blending joy, heartbreak, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.

Justin Hurwitz at the Podium

The concert is part of a major international tour, with stops in Orlando, Toronto, New York, and Guadalajara in 2026. Each performance is designed to capture the intensity and emotion of the film, offering audiences an experience that is both intimate and spectacular.

At the centre of it all is Justin Hurwitz himself. A long-time collaborator of director Damien Chazelle, Hurwitz has scored acclaimed films including Whiplash, First Man, and Babylon. His accolades include two Academy Awards®, four Golden Globes, two Grammys, and a BAFTA. Beyond the studio, he has become a world-touring conductor, bringing his music to audiences eager to hear it live.

For Toronto fans, La La Land In Concert is more than an evening at the cinema—it is a chance to relive the romance, music, and magic of one of modern cinema’s greatest musicals, amplified by the power of a live orchestra.
