The conductor

Direction: Bernadette Wegenstein | 2021 | United States | 90 minutes

Portrait of the American conductor Marin Alsop, who shattered the glass ceiling of classical music with talent and tenacity, and who went on to lead the symphony orchestras of Baltimore, São Paulo and Vienna. Her love of swing, her mentor Leonard Bernstein, her fierce anti-elitist thinking and her tireless fight for more and more women to take up the baton are reflected in this documentary.
