Mozart in the Jungle
In the tradition of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential" and Gelsey Kirkland's "Dancing on my Grave" comes an insider’s look into the secret world of classical musicians. From her debut recital at Carnegie Recital Hall to the Broadway pits of "Les Miserables" and "Miss Saigon," Blair Tindall has played with some of the biggest names in classical music for twenty-five years. Now in "Mozart in the Jungle," Tindall exposes the scandalous rock and roll lifestyles of the musicians, conductors, and administrators who inhabit the insular world of classical music.

Seasons
Season 1
Sex, drugs and classical music illustrate what happens behind the curtains at the symphony can be just as captivating as what occurs on stage.
Season 2
Despite months of rehearsal, the orchestra’s growth has stalled. A world tour and illicit romances dog the symphony, especially Rodrigo, anxious about his Mexican homecoming. Hailey assumes a larger position in the orchestra, but struggles to find her footing as an oboist and in her love life. A looming labor strike risks pitting friend against friend and it may fall to Rodrigo to create harmony.
Season 3
With the lockout still underway, the New York Symphony family is fractured. Rodrigo disappears to Venice, Italy to conduct the return concert of a legendary opera diva. Hailey tours Europe with Andrew Walsh, but it is not the adventure she was expecting. Those left in New York, embroiled in a stalemate, fight to hold together the remaining pieces before the Symphony is damaged beyond repair.
