Legendary Concert Promoter Ron Delsener & Director Jake Sumner

Bring “Ron Delsener Presents” to Greenport with Live Q&A

****************************************

“A celebration of live music history with the man who made it happen right here in the room with us.” – Tony Spiridakis, Executive Director of North Fork Arts Center.

The North Fork Arts Center (NFAC) is hosting a live conversation with legendary concert promoter Ron Delsener and Director Jake Sumner, open to the community in Greenport. These iconic figures will join us on Thursday, August 7th, for thescreening of“Ron Delsener Presents,”a documentary chronicling the career of Ron Delsener, the name behind virtually every major contemporary music concert in New York City for generations.

For decades, the phrase “Ron Delsener Presents” defined the New York concert scene, from bringing The Beatles and David Bowie to Carnegie Hall, to orchestrating major shows by Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and Billy Joel. This screening takes viewers backstage into the hustle, passion, and energy behind NYC’s golden age of live music.

This NFAC screening offers our community another rare chance to hear directly from the artist and film director about the work of a man who helped shape generations of live performance, and why his legacy still resonates in local venues and communities.

“Bringing Ron’s story here connects our audiences to a cultural force who defined a city’s soundtrack and reminds us how music builds community,” said Tony Spiridakis, Executive Director of North Fork Arts Center. “It’s a celebration of live music history with the man who made it happen right here in the room with us.”
