What does it take to lead an orchestra and who’s got what it takes? SYNOPSIS Conductivity is a film about creative leadership and growing to become a leader. The three main characters are I-Han Fu from Taiwan, Emilia Hoving from Finland and James Kahane from France. They study orchestral conduction in the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, Finland. We follow their journey from being a student to world class artist during three years. It’s a rocky road, where tension, social fears and elements out of their control can create insurmountable obstacles. Our French student James is focused on networking and getting to know people in the industry. During his studies at the Academy he becomes more and more confident, to the point that he gets in trouble for his arrogant style. However, most of the time this feature works in his favour. He is a bit of an opportunist and knows it himself. Our Finnish student Emilia decided to study conducting because she wanted to work with people. But now she has understood, that the work of a conductor is in many ways very lonely.

Allegretto molto 3’54 7 III. Adagio 2’04 8 IV. Allegro molto moderato 3’58 Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra Dennis Kim, concert master HANNU LINTU, conductor 2 here is a pedigreed narrative about the emergence of canonic composers in the eastern half of TEurope in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Like social modernisation, cultural renewal during the nineteenth century was supposedly a response to ideas and practices from the charismatic cultural capitals of Western Europe: an appropriation and then a transformation of modalities developed elsewhere. And because of this response mode, so it is argued, there was initially an element of ‘forms without substance’ about the process. Then, as this response slowly fused with a developing nationalist commitment, music in these regions found its ‘historical moment’, initially in the Czech lands, and then in Hungary, Poland and Romania. When the conditions were right, significant composers, including Béla Bartók, Karol Szymanowski and George Enescu, appeared on cue. This narrative is in need of some revision, but it is not too wide of the mark, and it accounts for our tendency to track the evolving styles of modernist composers from East-Central Europe in relation to three principal reference points.
