A film by Barbara Willis Sweete

High drama, zany humor and great music come together in this
film about the Toronto Symphony's historic visit to the Canadian
Arctic. Creative sparks fly as classical musicians perform on the
same stage with native drummers, dancers, and fiddlers -- a
celebrative look at two diverse cultural traditions.
