A Place Called Music is a documentary exploring the unlikely musical collaboration between Daniel Medina a traditional Wixarika violinist from the mountains of Jalisco Mexico and Philip Glass a renowned composer from New York City.
The film takes audiences on a journey through rehearsals and performances in Mexico and New York where the ancient sounds of Wixárika ceremonial music meet the grand piano in a unique fusion of tradition and modernity. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and language barriers Daniel and Philip have found a shared space where their spirits connect through music.
