"A Concerto Is a Conversation" is a New York Times "Op-Doc" video from last November that I don't think has been mentioned here. Kris Bowers (THE GREEN BOOK; WHEN THEY SEE US) is having a concerto played at the Walt Disney hall, and this short film has him describing the event to his grandfather. The story is touching, but more about the grandfather's journey from the Jim Crow South to contemporary L.A. than about the music. We're not even told that it's a violin concerto, though bits of the sweet-sounding music are heard throughout and we see a bit of video.

I remember noticing his music while watching the film GREEN BOOK and thinking 'this is quite nice'.
I've seen thumbs up for his music in BRIDGERTON too, which I haven't seen.
Thanks for the share.

I see they're promoting the film for a best doc. short subject nomination. Ava DuVernay directed, so they have a prestige name to highlight.
