Documentary about female conductors.

Six women have entered a male world - the orchestra conductors. The doubtfulness against female conductors and musicians in the world of classical music becomes clear during a visit to the Vienna Philharmonic. Conductors Sixten Ehrling and Jorge Mester comment on the prevailing conservative attitudes among colleagues.

Echoing "An American Pageant for the Arts," the 1962 event conducted by Leonard Bernstein, this special celebration and re-launch of live, in-person performing arts in America will be hosted by six-time Tony Award® winner Audra McDonald with special guest Caroline Kennedy and feature the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO).
