Paul Simon's 'Quiet Celebration Concert' Film Heading to Hulu

Hulu will release Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert, a nearly two-hour live concert film recorded during the legendary singer-songwriter’s "A Quiet Celebration Tour." The film will premiere in the U.S. on Disney+ and Hulu on June 26. 

For the concert film, Paul Simon brings his critically acclaimed “Seven Psalms” album to life in this first-ever live performance of the complete piece. The Quiet Celebration concert, recorded live at McCaw Hall in Seattle, sees Simon perform music from across his vast career including new arrangements of classics, deep cuts, and new musical discoveries as he came to terms with his hearing loss.

“This tour has enabled me to play with musicians again,” said Simon. “I really missed it. Everybody has enjoyed the experience so much. There’s been a feeling of camaraderie and elation that we were playing this piece of music that we were really interested in, and that had a significant effect on me. It made for one of the most extraordinary tours I’ve done — maybe the most joyous.”

A companion live album will be released on Oct. 9 and will be available for preorder beginning June 26 as a three-LP vinyl set, a two-CD set, and across all digital music stores and online music streaming partners.

Paul Simon: The Quiet Celebration Concert is directed by Emmy Award-winning director Joel Gallen and engineered by acclaimed GRAMMY-winning and Emmy-nominated recording engineer Biff Dawes. The concert film was executive produced by Joel Gallen and Matt Kramer, edited by Bill DeRonde, with Cameron Barnett serving as Director of Photography. It is presented by Sony Music Vision in association with Legacy Recordings and A Green Juice Films production.
