2022 Macon Film Festival Special Screening - CONDUCTING LIFE (director Diane Moore)In the rarified world of classical music, the road to success is a daunting one. Especially for young conductors. CONDUCTING LIFE follows the improbable journey of Roderick Cox from his childhood in Macon, Georgia into the classical music world, as he tirelessly pursues his dream — to secure a top position with a major orchestra. Roderick’s story is about the passion, sacrifice, and courage it takes to succeed in an elusive profession with limited opportunities.
Filmed over seven years, Diane Moore's intimate portrait captures the highs and lows of award-winning conductor Roderick Cox’s quest to achieve mastery in a discipline that has traditionally overlooked artists of color.
