It’s impossible not to fall in love with Klaus Mäkelä. He has a sparkle in his eyes, extraordinary musical talent, and strives for perfection – driven not by narcissism but out of his love for music, which he conveys to the orchestra he conducts and to the public. By age 27, Mäkelä was the musical director and conductor of the Oslo Philharmonic and of the Orchestre de Paris.  

Archival clips portray a teenage boy with a conductor’s baton in hand; it may seem like he’s playing, but he was conducting even then. This film – which feels like attending an inspiring concert – is a journey into the life of a musical genius. Mäkelä is a charming, humble visionary that many predict will have a great impact on the world of music in the 21st century.
