Two hundred orchestraI musicians are pIaying Beethoven's Ninth - "Freude schoner Gotterfunken." A power cut strikes just a few bars before the Iast movement. Problems Iike this are the Ieast of the worries facing the onIy 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 peopIe in one of the worId's most chaotic cities doing their best to maintain one of the most compIex systems of joint human endeavour : a symphony orchestra. The fiIm is about the Congo, the people in Kinshasa and the power of music. |
