Violinist, speaker, and author Vijay Gupta is a nationally celebrated leader in how music can be a transformative force for humanity, connection, and hope. He is Founder and Artistic Director of Street Symphony, a nationally recognized pioneer in creating musical experiences for people in reentry from homelessness, addiction, and incarceration. Steve Lopez has been a Los Angeles Times columnist since 2001, has won more than a dozen national journalism awards, and is a four-time Pulitzer finalist. His book The Soloist is a story of a broken dream, an unlikely friendship, and the redemptive power of music.
