Based on Blair Tindall’s classical-music insider’s memoir ‘Sex, Drugs and Classical Music’, the acclaimed series documents a budding oboist, Hailey, as she navigates her way through the longstanding traditions of the New York City classical music scene.

In 2016, the streaming series was awarded 2 Golden Globe Awards - including ‘Best TV Comedy Series’.
