Simone Young AO is internationally recognised as one of the most significant conductors of her generation. Produced by Cate Blanchett, Knowing the Score celebrates the life and work of this inspiring, brilliant woman who made it to the top in a man’s world wielding her wit, determination, sense of humour and – most importantly – her baton.

The girl from Manly Beach, now a maestro with so many firsts to her name, she’s tired of the whole “woman” title that follows her around.

We were excited to capture the trailblazing career of an extraordinary conductor, who also happens to have smashed the glass ceiling in the music world.  Simone Young’s story is an inspiration for other women in music.
