About This Movie

It dives into the life of Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser and his profound connection with Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony—definitely not your typical conductor’s tale. This film captures his journey as he navigates the classical music scene in Canada, uniquely positioned not just as a conductor but as a trailblazer in representation. The pacing feels organic, allowing you to soak in the emotion he brings to every rehearsal and performance. The footage of orchestras and behind-the-scenes moments really highlights the communal nature of music.
