Music Can Reveal Our Shared Humanity | Vijay Gupta

Lavin Speaker Vijay Gupta, founder of Street Symphony and co-founder of the Skid Row Arts Alliance, believes all art transforms pain, grief, and trauma into nourishment. In this video, Vijay shares his experience playing at Patton State Hospital, where a patient’s request for familiar music taught him the importance of empathy and connection. Through Street Symphony, Vijay brings music to those recovering from homelessness, incarceration, and poverty, emphasizing compassion and community. Hailed by The New Yorker as a "visionary violinist," Vijay shows us creative ways to revitalize hope and belonging through music.
