Reviews
Starring Marin Alsop

Undeterred by a classical music establishment that told her, “Girls can’t do that,” Marin Alsop became one of the world’s foremost conductors and the first woman to direct a major American symphony orchestra. This doc tells her story—her mentorship under Leonard Bernstein, her rise to renown, and her work empowering the next generation of conductors.

Stick around for a remote Q&A with Marin Alsop and director Bernadette Wegenstein.
