Toen Robert Gupta moest kiezen tussen een carrière als dokter en als violist, besefte hij dat zijn plek in het midden was, met een strijkstok in zijn hand en een gevoel voor sociale rechtvaardigheid in zijn hart. Hij vertelt een ontroerend verhaal over de mensen in de marge van de samenleving en de kracht van muzikale therapie, wat kan leiden tot succes waar gewone medicijnen falen.

Violinist Robert Gupta joined the LA Philharmonic at the age of 19 -- and maintains a passionate parallel interest in neurobiology and mental health issues. He's a TED Senior Fellow. Full bio »
