 SEASON 2, EPISODE 5 SYMPHONY IN B MINOR Rock music enthusiast Ryan changes his tune and develops a passion for Beethoven and Bach when he falls in love with classic concert violinist Leslie Reins (Ely Pouget). Unfortunately, all is not so harmonious at Symphony Hall, where a janitor and a first violinist have been mysteriously killed. But the murders are just two of the many unexplained incidents which have occurred since the symphony's famous violinist Janos Korda (James Russo) died in a fiery car crash. Among the most bizarre of these occurrences is the annual release of a new album of original music by Korda on the anniversary of his death. How the tapes are obtained remains an eerie mystery. No one would suspect or believe that Korda is still alive- horribly burned, mangled and deformed- composing and recording his music deep within the bowels of the concert hall.
