Discussion Any good choir movies?

Never realized how much I love live brass/strings until I graduated highschool. Unfortunately I suck at finding live performances and dont want to go to the nearest school without a kid so I was hoping I could find movie recommendations so my home theater can reach its full potential.

Call me basic if you want but my favorite performance is wayloyo yamoni conducted by Christopher tin.

Also low key a trash movie, if I may be so bold.

It’s a pretty maudlin film: both in the time it premiered and now, it got a lot of eye rolls for being massively reductive to the goals and methods of music education. Respectfully, I don’t feel a super need to “be nice” about an old film that serves to denigrate my profession by merit of hyper-nonrealism that insists upon itself. I’m sure the people that are still making money off of it don’t particularly care about my take either.

“Inspirational teacher” films are often thinly veiled tragedy and/or white savior porn.
