Anton and Nina met in fairytale fashion while each was preparing for a highly regarded international competition in Moscow. They fell in love at first sight, engaged in an impulsive romance and were married in a matter of just a few months. After their graduation from the Moscow Conservatory, they soon discovered that the road to success is slow and has many perplexing hurdles.
What becomes of Anton, a talented young pianist, when the bright artistic future that has been promised to him since childhood, fails to materialize?
What surprises does life have in store for Nina who is a beautiful and talented young singer and an aspiring classical vocalist?
Two years of drudgery, playing in small Russian cities for a modest salary and living close to the poverty line, convinces Anton that enough is enough. He decides to emigrate to Canada, where he is confident that the life of a musician would be much easier and vastly more rewarding. He eventually persuades his reluctant wife to abandon her own vocal career in Moscow and to emigrate with him.
The new Canadian immigrants soon learn that the roads are not paved with gold in their adopted country either. Will they finally achieve artistic success in Canada or might they be forced to return to Russia? Will the couple's marriage endure?
Music of the Wandering Stars is a tale of discovery, romance, and destiny. It reminds us all of the inner battle we all face with love and what it does to us.
