rather. morrow to. 60 minutes d.w. . up today don't miss our highlights. program on line w. dot com highlights. i was imagining what would it be an orchestra to have an orchestra have the world's best soloists. it's a girl project obviously it would have never happened if it wasn't for the situation. other than that. i think you have to learn to adapt to any situation and that's why i feel you have to be optimistic.

black darkness. in this place a bit locked let's say in this black box but still trying to find something beautiful i out of it and trying to find their motions i think it was right for the project. is the principal ballet dancer of the state opera in berlin where she now lives and where this footage was shot. some of the music sequences were also recorded in berlin with the participation of the world famous soloists the moving or wouldn't. we recorded the musicians individuals or in small groups of 3 to talk maximum that's why we chose the black background we wanted it to look really stylish really good partners but we also wanted to be able to reproduce the effect to see. it's possible in other places
8:34 am
because we were only recording in berlin but also in los angeles new york palencia paris. violence parties. the music in the video is the don't sign a new model dos composed by the mexican total marcus at the beginning of the 1990 s. song of the last play of the month because it's amazing piece of music that moves people so much and i have probably. that's probably the piece that conducted the most in my career so it's been my friend since i started my career. it had to be a mexican piece for this project chorus happy's that people would recognize in my country and that people around the world could be fascinated by it. so they just had all the characteristics that would be great for

a project like this. clown we were told to peg is a small town in the region of one hucker some 500 kilometers southeast of mexico city it has a population of about 10000 people and almost all of them play music including these young women. in. concepcion and nanda is known by everyone here as conchita is 29 years old as a teenager at the age of 14 she formed ter band who's here and old women all songs around 20 young women currently playing in the small orchestra now their very existence is threatened the pandemic is leaving deep wounds here as well. boy is. very sad that all of our concerts had to be cancelled. we were ready to present our 1st album. and we're excited. we had planned to present it live in
8:36 am
july and august and we're really looking forward to it. at the moment they can't even rehearse the band has come together here solely for this video recording. it's hit us hard because we're in debt do you see the expenses we incurred for the recording. we were hoping to start repaying our debts with these performances or with record sales. that's what we had planned to do. but we're still confident that things will turn out well in the end. and the ensemble will get help from fungal simmias a nonprofit organization that supports women in mexico. one of them that you have morning this is
8:37 am
a very interesting and wonderful orchestra made entirely of women. many of you must single mothers they and their families depend on the income from the concerts or not from them because of the pandemic they cannot perform now or even rehearse. because of the fear of infection the rehearsal studios are also closed in the when is that. the organization has assured the musicians that they can count on financial support the money will come from donations that part out wants to collect with their project the possible orchestra . for classical music i think it's very important to be part of the world's problems to be part of the solution and to not just be in our beautiful corner. of humanity but actually really sarah.
8:38 am
that this project. madea daedalus sadie you know martinez whom everyone calls jai you play saxophone and tuba in the women's orchestra she's been with them since 2006 right from the beginning gyal is 30 years old and has 3 children she needs the income from the concerts to survive. that no one. at the moment we have no income. you know even our small savings are already used up. so far we have been able to cover the last few months but the situation is bad because of the pandemic and the donations are not limited to just this orchestra but are intended for as many women and children in mexico as possible unlike these musicians many are affected by a drastic increase in violence also
8:39 am
a consequence of the pandemic. but there is a lot of progress economically because they don't go out in mexico to sell on the street to clean the cars to sell flowers they don't have anything to eat some people get this parade and people don't know what to do when there is no money and they fight and so i think this whole thing is really. is very sad and it really breaks my heart and yeah i wish. or something to help and i hope this project helps. for the project. did not plan to conduct but play the piano again she hadn't played
8:40 am
in a very long time. and i could say one thing the musician in that video who practiced the most that's for sure because of course i had that yeah i had played the piano in that sense in 15 years so it was a lot of hours but i am very happy that i did it. as a conductor. has risen to international fame she was born in new york and raised in mexico city. in 2017 she moved to australia where she was principal conductor of the queensland symphony orchestra britain for 2 years.
8:41 am
currently 39 year old lives in berlin with her 2 sons well it was really. impossible orchestra actually draws inspiration from the many musicians shared. experience playing together in different places but in times of corona making music together is a little different 2 2. so work and backed up our part out of it. every time there's a crisis. there's such an interesting cultural outburst one might people struggle and are taking out of their comfort zones creativity comes out there's no doubt but
8:42 am
we are going in that masing opportunity to see what we're doing why we're doing it for whom we're doing it those are big questions that when you are running from place to place and concert the concert and sometimes you don't have the time and space to think. so for me it was really crucial that since. that was on its 21 with the impossible orchestra but stay tuned next we're showing the music video in full length enjoy. ok i'm happy with that.
