Inhalt: |
Two hundred orchestral musicians are playing Beethoven's Ninth - "Freude schoner Gotterfunken." A power cut strikes just a few bars before the Iast movement. Problems like this are the Ieast of the worries facing the only symphony orchestra in the Congo. In the 15 years of its existence, the musicians have survived two putsches, various crises and a war. But concentration on the music and hopes for a better future keeps them going. Kinshasa Symphony is a study of the people in one of the world's most chaotic cities doing their best to maintain one of the most compIex systems of joint human endeavour : a symphony orchestra. The film is about the Congo, the peopIe in Kinshasa and the power of music. |
