Colonial Symphony is a 1991 German/Brazilian film directed by Georg Brintrup. The film recounts a largely unknown phenomenon which started in the 18th century regarding Brazilian classical music. Nearly all Brazilian classical composers were mulattoes, who, if they could prove their talent in composing music, could gain their freedom from slavery. This film explores the boundaries between a music documentary and a fictional biography.
