This is a provocative and intimate fly-on-the-wall documentary revealing the inner workings of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra as it launches into its opening season with an amazingly charismatic new Maestro - Peter Oundjian. During one intense week, the orchestra is host to musical superstars Yo-Yo Ma, Emanuel Ax and Renee Fleming. Candid footage shows these great soloists as they interact with the maestro, prepare in their dressing rooms, interact with their fans backstage and rehearse and perform with the orchestra.
