The Soloist, Music is Medicine

In this brief TED talk, Robert Gupta, a violinist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, recounts a violin lesson he once gave to Nathaniel Ayers, the schizophrenic musician featured in The Soloist. His talk is fascinating – and there’s a stellar performance at the end (hint: it’s an adaptation of J.S. Bach’s Suite No. 1 in G major, BWV 1007).
