Based on the novel by Sarah Quigley, The Conductor tells the true story of Dmitri Shostakovich's "Leningrad Symphony," composed under the Siege of Leningrad in World War II, and performed before the people by a battered, starving orchestra, in a moving testament to the dignity and power that art may serve.
With Joseph Skelton, Deborah Wastell Symphony performed live on piano by Daniel Wallington
