With TikTok, Facebook and other social media platforms, it’s hard to imagine a time when the only way to see a documentary was on television.  That is the world the late Christoper Nupen lived and worked in.  Starting in the 1960’s Nupen’s company, Allegro Films, started with Double Concerto.  Nupen continued to produce ground breaking documentaries about classical musicians that revealed their off-stage lives and showed how much fun they had making the music they performed.
