A Symphony Of Dreams For Students And Teachers

Calling all students and teachers! You’re encouraged to attend an inspiring film night for just $5 per student!

On Friday, September 13th, at 7:30pm, the CQ University Conservatorium of Music will host a screening of Divertimento. This French drama, with English subtitles, tells the remarkable story of how classical symphonic music is everything for 17-year-old Zahia Ziouani and her twin sister, Fettouma.

Nevertheless, living in underprivileged Parisian suburbs in 1995 with their Algerian background, they struggle arduously to approach their dreams – becoming an orchestra conductor and a cellist. Driven by determination, passion, and courage, they create their own orchestra, Divertimento. It will be a game-changer. DIVERTIMENTO is inspired by the life of Zahia Ziouani, one of the few worldwide renowned female conductors.

Students are invited to immerse themselves in this powerful story of music, perseverance and breaking barriers.

Tickets are available for $5 through trybooking.com
