Robert Gupta, violinist for the LA Philiharmonic, tells the story of his friendship with a schizophrenic musician named Nathaniel Ayers. Nathaniel's story became the plot for the movie, The Soloist (2009). From these interactions, Gupta learned that music is a form of medicine, and that music is sanity.
After the talk, Gupta returns to the stage with his violin and treats the audience to Bach's Cello Suite No. 1.
This one is beautiful. Enjoy!
Excellent talk and playing..........Love it.
