about MUSIC FROM THE INSIDE OUT (film) with Members of the Philadelphia Orchestra

The intersection of art and life are at the core of Music from the Inside Out, Academy Award nominee Daniel Anker's cinematic exploration of music through the stories, the passions and the artistry of the musicians of the Musicians of The Philadelphia Orchestra. The film is the result of a unique collaboration with the musicians themselves, and has been playing in theaters nationwide to critical and audience acclaim.

Filmed over a period of five years on three continents, Music from the Inside Out is groundbreaking in style and approach: the main character of this film is “Music” itself. Incorporating a blend of well-loved musical works - including classical, jazz, bluegrass, salsa, and world music – the film features one of the most eclectic soundtracks of any recent documentary.

It is a film that strives for passion and intimacy: The musical performances are interwoven with the musicians’ individual stories, each of which has at its core the struggle to find personal expression when one’s profession requires performance as part of an ensemble. Ultimately, the film attempts to break down the barriers that have long separated orchestra musicians and their audiences, and get to the essence of the magic and the mystery of music itself.
