Opus One
A talented young musician named Richard sets off for the Wexford Conservatory of Music after high school, to study with one of the world’s great pianists. Between lessons with his exacting teacher, and fun times with two fellow first year musicians named Emily and Sandra, Richard discovers that music, friendship and love can lead to passions he'd never imagined. Supported by a cast of characters pulled straight out of the music world, these three aspiring performers find that the life of a musician is that of extremes: formidably challenging, and exceptionally rewarding.
