Dialogue: 0,0:00:07.76,0:00:25.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Music)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.82,0:02:25.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.92,0:02:31.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much. (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.28,0:02:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you. It's a distinct privilege to be here.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.96,0:02:36.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A few weeks ago, I saw a video on YouTube
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.88,0:02:39.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.16,0:02:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the early stages of her recovery
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.32,0:02:43.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from one of those awful bullets.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.50,0:02:45.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This one entered her left hemisphere, and
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.63,0:02:49.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,knocked out her Broca's area, the speech center of her brain.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.14,0:02:53.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in this session, Gabby's working with a speech therapist,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.05,0:02:54.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she's struggling to produce
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.84,0:02:57.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some of the most basic words, and you can see her
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.95,0:03:01.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,growing more and more devastated, until she ultimately
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.13,0:03:04.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,breaks down into sobbing tears, and she starts sobbing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.00,0:03:07.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wordlessly into the arms of her therapist.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.98,0:03:10.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And after a few moments, her therapist tries a new tack,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.30,0:03:11.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they start singing together,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.93,0:03:14.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Gabby starts to sing through her tears,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.07,0:03:16.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can hear her clearly able to enunciate
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.74,0:03:19.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the words to a song that describe the way she feels,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.20,0:03:22.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she sings, in one descending scale, she sings,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.12,0:03:25.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.73,0:03:28.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it's a very powerful and poignant reminder of how
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.71,0:03:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the beauty of music has the ability to speak
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.27,0:03:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where words fail, in this case literally speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.05,0:03:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Seeing this video of Gabby Giffords reminded me
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.80,0:03:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the work of Dr. Gottfried Schlaug,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.60,0:03:45.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of the preeminent neuroscientists studying music and the brain at Harvard,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.35,0:03:47.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Schlaug is a proponent of a therapy called
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.77,0:03:52.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Melodic Intonation Therapy, which has become very popular in music therapy now.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.78,0:03:57.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Schlaug found that his stroke victims who were aphasic,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.11,0:04:01.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could not form sentences of three- or four-word sentences,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.76,0:04:05.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they could still sing the lyrics to a song,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.06,0:04:07.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,whether it was "Happy Birthday To You"
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.01,0:04:09.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or their favorite song by the Eagles or the Rolling Stones.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.65,0:04:12.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And after 70 hours of intensive singing lessons,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.59,0:04:16.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he found that the music was able to literally rewire
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.59,0:04:19.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the brains of his patients and create a homologous
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.04,0:04:20.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,speech center in their right hemisphere
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.93,0:04:24.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to compensate for the left hemisphere's damage.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.43,0:04:27.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,When I was 17, I visited Dr. Schlaug's lab, and in one afternoon
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.82,0:04:30.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he walked me through some of the leading research
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.33,0:04:34.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on music and the brain -- how musicians had
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.17,0:04:37.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fundamentally different brain structure than non-musicians,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.23,0:04:38.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how music, and listening to music,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.74,0:04:40.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,could just light up the entire brain, from
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.100,0:04:44.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our prefrontal cortex all the way back to our cerebellum,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.47,0:04:47.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how music was becoming a neuropsychiatric modality
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.30,0:04:50.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to help children with autism, to help people struggling
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.92,0:04:53.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with stress and anxiety and depression,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.70,0:04:57.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how deeply Parkinsonian patients would find that their tremor
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.12,0:05:00.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and their gait would steady when they listened to music,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.50,0:05:03.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how late-stage Alzheimer's patients, whose dementia
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.91,0:05:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was so far progressed that they could no longer recognize
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.80,0:05:09.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,their family, could still pick out a tune by Chopin
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.59,0:05:13.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the piano that they had learned when they were children.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.25,0:05:16.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I had an ulterior motive of visiting Gottfried Schlaug,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.30,0:05:19.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it was this: that I was at a crossroads in my life,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.52,0:05:22.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trying to choose between music and medicine.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:22.30,0:05:25.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I had just completed my undergraduate, and I was working
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.26,0:05:28.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as a research assistant at the lab of Dennis Selkoe,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.14,0:05:31.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,studying Parkinson's disease at Harvard, and I had fallen
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.60,0:05:34.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in love with neuroscience. I wanted to become a surgeon.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.47,0:05:38.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted to become a doctor like Paul Farmer or Rick Hodes,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.24,0:05:42.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these kind of fearless men who go into places like Haiti or Ethiopia
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.36,0:05:45.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and work with AIDS patients with multidrug-resistant
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.19,0:05:48.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tuberculosis, or with children with disfiguring cancers.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.98,0:05:51.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted to become that kind of Red Cross doctor,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.91,0:05:53.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that doctor without borders.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.91,0:05:57.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,On the other hand, I had played the violin my entire life.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.45,0:06:01.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Music for me was more than a passion. It was obsession.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.20,0:06:04.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was oxygen. I was lucky enough to have studied
Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.36,0:06:07.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at the Juilliard School in Manhattan, and to have played
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.44,0:06:11.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my debut with Zubin Mehta and the Israeli philharmonic orchestra in Tel Aviv,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:11.79,0:06:13.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it turned out that Gottfried Schlaug
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.83,0:06:17.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,had studied as an organist at the Vienna Conservatory,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:17.05,0:06:19.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but had given up his love for music to pursue a career
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.44,0:06:23.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in medicine. And that afternoon, I had to ask him,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.12,0:06:25.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"How was it for you making that decision?"
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.65,0:06:27.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he said that there were still times when he wished
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.68,0:06:30.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he could go back and play the organ the way he used to,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.46,0:06:33.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that for me, medical school could wait,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.67,0:06:36.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but that the violin simply would not.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.45,0:06:39.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And after two more years of studying music, I decided
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.01,0:06:41.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to shoot for the impossible before taking the MCAT
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.82,0:06:44.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and applying to medical school like a good Indian son
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.39,0:06:47.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to become the next Dr. Gupta. (Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.25,0:06:49.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I decided to shoot for the impossible and I took
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.88,0:06:52.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,an audition for the esteemed Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.82,0:06:55.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It was my first audition, and after three days of playing
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.83,0:06:58.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,behind a screen in a trial week, I was offered the position.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.85,0:07:02.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it was a dream. It was a wild dream to perform
Dialogue: 0,0:07:02.77,0:07:06.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in an orchestra, to perform in the iconic Walt Disney Concert Hall
Dialogue: 0,0:07:06.27,0:07:09.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in an orchestra conducted now by the famous Gustavo Dudamel,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.86,0:07:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but much more importantly to me to be surrounded
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.84,0:07:16.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by musicians and mentors that became my new family,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.73,0:07:19.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my new musical home.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.92,0:07:23.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But a year later, I met another musician who had also
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.64,0:07:26.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,studied at Juilliard, one who profoundly helped me
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.72,0:07:31.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,find my voice and shaped my identity as a musician.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.08,0:07:34.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nathaniel Ayers was a double bassist at Juilliard, but
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.36,0:07:38.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he suffered a series of psychotic episodes in his early 20s,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.10,0:07:40.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was treated with thorazine at Bellevue,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.45,0:07:43.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and ended up living homeless on the streets of Skid Row
Dialogue: 0,0:07:43.92,0:07:46.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in downtown Los Angeles 30 years later.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:46.37,0:07:49.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nathaniel's story has become a beacon for homelessness
Dialogue: 0,0:07:49.82,0:07:52.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and mental health advocacy throughout the United States,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.67,0:07:54.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as told through the book and the movie "The Soloist,"
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.82,0:07:57.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I became his friend, and I became his violin teacher,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.96,0:08:00.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I told him that wherever he had his violin,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.47,0:08:03.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and wherever I had mine, I would play a lesson with him.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.44,0:08:06.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And on the many times I saw Nathaniel on Skid Row,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.12,0:08:08.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I witnessed how music was able to bring him back
Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.93,0:08:11.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from his very darkest moments, from what seemed to me
Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.90,0:08:13.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in my untrained eye to be
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.86,0:08:17.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the beginnings of a schizophrenic episode.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.66,0:08:20.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Playing for Nathaniel, the music took on a deeper meaning,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.91,0:08:23.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because now it was about communication,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.47,0:08:26.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a communication where words failed, a communication
Dialogue: 0,0:08:26.38,0:08:29.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of a message that went deeper than words, that registered
Dialogue: 0,0:08:29.54,0:08:33.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at a fundamentally primal level in Nathaniel's psyche,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.03,0:08:37.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yet came as a true musical offering from me.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:37.58,0:08:41.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I found myself growing outraged that someone
Dialogue: 0,0:08:41.55,0:08:45.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like Nathaniel could have ever been homeless on Skid Row
Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.46,0:08:48.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of his mental illness, yet how many tens of thousands
Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.80,0:08:51.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of others there were out there on Skid Row alone
Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.91,0:08:56.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who had stories as tragic as his, but were never going to have a book or a movie
Dialogue: 0,0:08:56.66,0:08:58.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,made about them that got them off the streets?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.92,0:09:02.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And at the very core of this crisis of mine, I felt somehow
Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.94,0:09:07.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the life of music had chosen me, where somehow,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.03,0:09:10.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perhaps possibly in a very naive sense, I felt what Skid Row
Dialogue: 0,0:09:10.00,0:09:13.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really needed was somebody like Paul Farmer
Dialogue: 0,0:09:13.01,0:09:17.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and not another classical musician playing on Bunker Hill.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:17.15,0:09:19.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the end, it was Nathaniel who showed me
Dialogue: 0,0:09:19.20,0:09:21.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that if I was truly passionate about change,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:21.93,0:09:26.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I wanted to make a difference, I already had the perfect instrument to do it,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:26.25,0:09:31.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that music was the bridge that connected my world and his.
Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.02,0:09:32.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's a beautiful quote
Dialogue: 0,0:09:32.69,0:09:35.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by the Romantic German composer Robert Schumann,
Dialogue: 0,0:09:35.16,0:09:40.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who said, "To send light into the darkness of men's hearts,
