Synopsis
KNOWING THE SCORE captures the career of a great conductor, its challenges and triumphs, past, present and into the future.
New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Simone Young has conquered them all in the most male dominated of professions, a Conductor of Opera and Classical music. The girl from Manly beach, now a woman with so many firsts to her name, she’s tired of the whole “woman” title that follows her around.
The film combines interviews with observational footage and a wealth of archival footage, as well as access to Simone’s personal photographs.
Far from being a niche music film designed for classical music fans, the directorial vision for the film is to combine elements of a traditional biopic with an unfolding storyline that has the cumulative effect of exploring classical music in the wake of a pandemic from a deeply personal perspective.
