Cleveland Premiere!

In the late 1940s, an orchestra in Louisville, Kentucky was about to go out of business. At that point, a new mayor stepped into office whose views about civic vitality were founded on the ideas of the Chinese sage Confucius. His vision of prosperity was focused on making the arts available to every citizen of the city. This documentary chronicles how a small, semi-professional orchestra in Louisville, KY (and the city itself) gained stature and prominence by commissioning scores of new works from major international composers starting in 1948.

 “A singular harmonic convergence.” – The New York Times.
