'The Conductor' - A Stage Play Featuring the music of Shostakovich,

Four Stars, and Winner of the 2016 Buxton Festival Fringe 'John Beecher Award.'

-------

The threat of fascism creeps ever closer.
What use is art in the face of all this?

Share this poignant, deeply resonant piece with us, in the midst of the cold season, 75 years after the Seige of Leningrad, a winter that devastated a nation.

The crackle of a tannoy breaks a pregnant silence...
...and for one moment, as the barrage of shell and artillery pauses, music washes over the city of Leningrad.

--------
"The story of how Shostakovich and one valiant, bedraggled orchestra created a defining moment in the siege of Leningrad, providing a gripping testament to the life-saving power of music" - The Guardian
