A documentary about the 60 years of the Gulbenkian Orchestra. Using unpublished archive footage and interviews with current and former musicians, conductors and soloists, “Sum of the Parts” tells the story of an orchestra that made a decisive contribution to the enrichment of the Portuguese musical scene, recorded more than 70 albums and performed alongside many of the greatest performers in the music industry.
Behind the unmistakable sound and international reputation of the Gulbenkian Choir lies a group of people with parallel lives, where music is not always their main occupation. They are teachers, engineers, doctors, lawyers, who come together at nightfall and work tirelessly to form an artistic body with a single voice.
