The Extraordinary Life and Music of Sonia Eckhardt-Gramatte
This feature-length documentary special is a journey into the passion of Sophie-Carmen (Sonia) Eckhardt-Gramatte, an artistic rebel who defied all barriers to become one of the great modern classical composers of the 20th century. Throughout an astonishing career that would take Sonia from Paris, Berlin and Vienna to the new world of western Canada, she and her two great loves - the artist Walter and the writer Ferdinand - would remain forever inseparable in death as much as in life. Appassionata - The Extraordinary Life and Music of Sonia Eckhardt-Gramatte made its world premiere at the International Festival of Films on Art in Montreal. |
