However, one was created. 75 years later one of the nation's greatest cultural institutions has overcome controvertial rennovations, economic crises and lack of leadership, yet it's always been focused on excellence. In this documentary, the glories and tribulations of The National Symphony Orchestra are examined through the voices of its protagonists.
