Join us at CCA for a continental brunch and the New Mexico premiere of Director Bernadette Wegenstein’s THE CONDUCTOR. The doc takes the audience into the heart of classical music and into the soul of one of its top artists: the internationally renowned conductor Marin Alsop. A protégé of Leonard Bernstein, Alsop smashed the glass ceiling when she became the first woman to serve as music director of a major orchestra. Set against a breathtaking soundtrack of her performances, this inspiring tale of perseverance against prejudice and institutional obstacles follows Alsop through a series of first that has paved the way for a diversified future within the world of classical music and lends a backstage pass to the artistry and energy that rewards her audiences and inspires her students today.

Seating is limited for this “in-theater” screening. Attendees must provide proof of vaccination or a negative PCR or acceptable rapid test and wear a mask when inside the theater. For more information about required Covid-19 protocols, click here.
