Tempo: La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Costa Rica

Overview

In 1940, Costa Rica ever having a symphony orchestra seemed like a dream: few prepared musicians, limited resources and no music academy made it impossible to imagine. However, one was created. 75 years later one of the nation's greatest cultural institutions has overcome controvertial rennovations, economic crises and lack of leadership, yet it's always been focused on excellence. In this documentary, the glories and tribulations of The National Symphony Orchestra are examined through the voices of its protagonists.
