What does it feel like to face a blank page after a lifetime of composing? How does a conductor approach an entirely new score from a rising composer, or breathe fresh life into a beloved classic? In "Begin Again," Franz Welser-Möst and The Cleveland Orchestra explore these questions in a program that pairs the world premiere of Bernd Richard Deutsch's "Intensity" with Antonín Dvořák’s Symphony No.8. Through candid conversations with Welser-Möst, Deutsch, and The Cleveland Orchestra's President and CEO, André Gremillet, this concert film dives into the creative process of "beginning again." Deutsch reveals the inspirations and challenges behind his dynamic new work, while Welser-Möst reflects on the joy and discipline of approaching a familiar masterpiece like Dvořák’s Eighth with renewed curiosity. Blending exhilarating live performances with thoughtful artistic insight, this is a rare look at how great music is born, reborn, and made timeless.
