Music makes a city [videorecording]

[Special ed.]

[Louisville, Ky.] : Owsley Brown Presents, [2010]

2 videodiscs (100 min.) : sd., col. ; 4 3/4 in.

In the late 1940s, an orchestra in Louisville, Kentucky was about to go out of business. At that point, a new mayor stepped into office whose views about civic vitality were founded on the ideas of the Chinese sage Confucius. His vision of prosperity was focused on making the arts available to every citizen of the city. Music Makes a City tells the rousing, inspiring, nearly unbelievable story of an American city and its orchestra.
