Traverse the austere musical landscapes of The Last of Us as Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack is brought to life in an unforgettable concert.

The taut storyline and tense gameplay of Naughty Dog’s seminal action-adventure title asserted its mastery ten years ago, but it is Santaolalla’s compositions, performed today by the Philharmonia Orchestra, that gave it transcendent emotional depth.

Oscar-winner Santaolalla’s musical genius bestowed an indelible mark upon the game's world. His evocative work did not just accompany the gameplay. It became the heartbeat of the characters’ struggles, immersing players in a visceral symphony of contradiction – finding beauty in a world stifling it.

Through his artistry, Santaolalla transformed The Last of Us into an unforgettable sensory experience, reminding us of the deep impact music can have on interactive storytelling.

Join us for an afternoon celebration as we enjoy Santaolalla’s compositions orchestrated live in concert, for the very first time.
