Go behind the scenes with the All Schools Elementary Honor Orchestra as it prepares for their annual concert in renowned Schoenberg Concert Hall at UCLA. Combining interviews with school-age musicians and a formal concert, the viewer meets players, not just as musicians, but as real kids. Interviews with the teachers, parents, administrators and orchestra members are interspersed with moving footage of the orchestra's early school rehearsals, the dress rehearsal and final concert performance. This documentary examines the complexities involved in playing in a symphony orchestra and the discipline, hard work, and commitment necessary by each student --and their families -- in order to bring the music to life. Produced and conducted by Larry Newman. (#23231)
