Plot Details Of The Short Documentary 'The Only Girl In The Orchestra'

The short documentary 'The Only Girl In The Orchestra' has been summarized by different outlets as follows, "Trailblazing double bassist Orin O'Brien never wanted the spotlight, but when Leonard Bernstein hired her in 1966 as the first female musician in the New York Philharmonic, it was inevitable that she would become the focus of much interest and fascination. Now 87 years old and recently retired, Orin looks back on her remarkable life and career, insisting that a fuss should not be made, much preferring to play a supporting role to the family, students, friends, and colleagues that surround her. In the delightful short documentary, 'The Only Girl In The Orchestra', filmmaker Molly O'Brien beautifully captures her aunt Orin's prodigious contributions as a musician as well as her unique philosophy that the key to enjoying life is to play second fiddle."
