Description
This film documents a week-long, nerve-wracking competition in which 136 young people from all over the world take part in a contest to determine who will be crowned the best conductor. Follow along as contestants navigate the highs and lows of the competition for the chance to conduct a top orchestra. See them conduct allegro ma non troppo, vivace, andante, andante maestoso, and answer questions about classical composition. The mounting tension stands in stark contrast to the sounds of classical music as the contestants make their way to the finale.

In this video we'll learn about open, connected, and simply-connected regions. A region is open if it doesn't contain any of its boundary points. A region is connected if we can connect any two points in the region with a path that lies completely inside the region. A region is simply-connected if it's connected and contains no holes.
