Robert Gupta, violinist, discusses his wonderful meeting with Nathaniel Ayers - and a Music Lesson

imageRobert Gupta, violinist with the LA Philharmonic, talks about a violin lesson he once gave to a brilliant, schizophrenic musician—and what he learned. Called back onstage later, Gupta plays his own transcription of the prelude from Bach’s Cello Suite No. 1. It discusses the profound power of Music over the power of his mental health challenges.

It’s a short but powerful video.
