Mountain peak this nascar the most Prominent Point for the stylish universe. We begin todays journey with music it requires plenty talent hard work and confidence to make it in the music business and even more of that when you are a woman trying to break into the male dominated profession of conductor. Is the music director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and the first female principal conductor of any australian Symphony Orchestra a mexicans journey is a fascinating one and d. W. Has coproduced a documentary about her path to stardom. Along the edge of the power is a star in the world of Classical Music shes already conducted more than one hundred orchestras in twenty countries. I remember when i was thirteen fourteen that i already wanted to be a conductor that i thought. Well how we going to begin that if i dont look anything like the conductors that conductors are supposed to be german and very old with white hair and im mexican im a kid and you know im a woman. Young conductor from mexico city has now graced the worlds top concert stages and been thrilling audiences for years. Since twenty seventeen shes been based in Brisbane Australia as music director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. The latin american compositions are especially close to the conductors heart. That. I. I always want to promote the music of the americas and thats why this concert so important because its probably the first time that this music is played in australia and i believe this repertory this theres a place and every orchestra score repertoire. And one of course do that with my. Christian adored chevelle a director accompanied alondra della power over a period of fourteen months. The resulting film maestra a wonder deliberate or a d w coproduction had its premiere in berlin on thursday. So we skipped she opened up to us and gave us not only very personal insights into her life but also into her life on stage into the world of Classical Music thats not something to take for granted this is the search for strangers i know other artists whove said you can interview me before the concert or afterwards and thats it concert with her it was possible to do much more and thats what made it fun bob it was me on movies with just my phone off fast. He was getting a glimpse into a wondrous family. Life and see her interact with her two children shes become an expert at balancing family life with an international career. Very. Good guy and oh. My children were not supposed to be in the film that i read in only there they were not planned to be part of the film but the crew became such a part of my family and my that i didnt feel. That it was interested anymore in the way. Following her training at the Manhattan School of music alondra della paro was selected to take part in a master class led by a german conductor quit mysore in new york. In the still largely male dominated world of conducting she knows how to assert herself. Much with motherhood it was somewhat. Old. Yeah. When i was starting the fact that im a woman definitely was not something that people liked nobody said it i have no proof to show you exactly how but i feel how this happened and i really dont like the subject but it would be absolutely. Untrue to say now its past minissha yes of course it absolutely. Shes performed at festivals and made guest appearances shes still not a big name in mexico instead of hundreds of the power has earned acclaim abroad like at hamburgs philharmonie concert hall where she performed works by latin american composers with the door to come in for her money bringing. To qualities in particular have made her stand out as one of the worlds top conductors. Im seeing. This double imo defeat firstly i think its her ability to motivate an orchestra so well ive experienced that myself. And though im no expert ive seen how she can motivate and get everything out of an orchestra and secondly its what her artistic father and patron court missouri said in this documentary be strong and shes very strong strong. As a broadcaster which promotes Cultural Exchange and understanding dortch avila covers and documents social change and this is clearly evident in the film love maestra alondra to look out for. A script and if theres a change push a gradual change and like everywhere in all areas of society its fortunately the case that in the music business more and more women are playing a major role and thats exciting and interesting as well as good and necessary. Along with in a car or herself has two aims. To get audience isnt whose yes to give a Classical Music and to create an enjoyable musical experience for everyone involved she communicates her passion in a style all her own whether in brisbane or hamburg.

Costal remains open during the renovations. At seven am through the morning falls it looks like the mythical fairy tale castle it was meant to be the restorers make use of the quiet morning hours. And is being renovated while the castle remains open to the tourists who flock here in droves. The tour begins on the fourth floor of the main palace building which was constructed in the late nineteenth century. This is the hall of the singers because theres a real fact here its really impressive. Its our third week here and weve already vacuumed up some dirt and here are some places the dust was actually a centimeter deep hundred years worth.
