For over a hundred years, the Philadelphia Orchestra has been an internationally respected ensemble, performing all across the United States and around the world, but Music From the Inside Out examines the 100 individuals that make up the orchestra. The players discuss how they fell in love with music, their other creative and musical pursuits (some of the musicians perform with jazz, world music, and even bluegrass groups, while others creative visual art), the struggles and rewards of pursuing their dreams, what speaks to them creatively, and how so many people with differing temperaments can work together to create beautiful music. Music from the Inside Out was produced and financed in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but enjoyed a critically-acclaimed tour of film festivals and art theaters before making its bow on television. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Stanley Kauffmann, The New Republic
We hear all kinds of comments -- about personal satisfactions, dissatisfactions, rewards.
-
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
It doesn't attempt to neatly summarize the musical experience. Anker gives the players free rein to express their wonderment.
-
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Those who prefer a little meat on their documentary bones may come away hungry.
-
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Music from the Inside Out is not so much about the people, but about what they create, and it's at its most effective when the talking stops.
-
Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle
The composite picture it offers of the performing life is still unforgettable.
