Abstract

Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, is the third-largest city in Africa with 10 millions inhabitants. The film shows how some people living there have managed to forge one of the most complex systems of human cooperation ever invented: a symphony orchestra performing Handel, Verdi, Beethoven. “Kinshasa Symphony” shows Kinshasa in all its diversity, speed, colour, vitality and energy. It is a film about the Congo, about the people of Kinshasa and about music.
