Madman proudly presents the DVD release of the delightful, MRS CAREY’S CONCERT – available from 21 September, 2011.

The highest-grossing and most critically acclaimed Australian documentary of the year, MRS CAREY’S CONCERT follows Karen Carey, music director at a Sydney girls’ school, as she prepares her young students for a concert at the Opera House. Believing in the transformative power of great music, Carey insists upon a classical repertoire and sets a dauntingly high performance standard that requires the participation of every girl in the school.

Whilst Carey inspires many of her girls, some do not share her passion and are not afraid to say so – particularly charismatic 16 year old, Iris Shi, who is the only person who really gets under her skin, and the focal point of the student resistance to Carey’s Opera House ambitions.

Emily Sun is Karen Carey’s star musician, however, an altogether different source of frustration. Emily is a gifted teenager with the potential to have a truly brilliant musical career, but she is at risk of running off the rails. If Carey is going to help her to succeed, she will need to get inside her head, but even that presents a challenge when Emily has her own unique take on everything.

MRS CAREY’S CONCERT is about music making and coming of age, about talent and courage, compliance and rebellion. About those prepared to open their minds and hearts to what the world has to offer… and those yet to discover the potential within.

MRS CAREY’S CONCERT is available on DVD, 21 September, 2011 ($34.95srp).
