Synopsis
During the Leningrad Blockade the conductor Karl Eliasberg receives an unbelievable assignment: surrounded by hunger, cold, and death he must conduct Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony with his surviving orchestra. Against all odds he accomplishes the impossible: For a short moment the war is interrupted by the sounds of the ’Leningrad Symphony‘ waft through the city all the way to German trenches. It is the heroic story of an orchestra and the symbolic triumph of art over the savagery of war. September 8th, 2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the beginning of the Leningrad Blockade.
