Vijay Gupta
Vijay Gupta is an acclaimed violinist and the founding Artistic Director of Street Symphony, the nonprofit that brings live music into shelters, clinics, jails, and prisons. A former member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, a MacArthur Fellow, and named to TIME’s 100 Next list, Gupta has shared the role of music in human connection and responsibility on stages, campuses, and with organizations across the United States. He lives in Altadena, California.
Pico Iyer
Pico Iyer is a British-born essayist and novelist with an entirely singular sensibility. His various books are linked by his interest in cultural crossroads and the values that transcend boundaries. He has established himself as a major presence in the cultural life of Japan, where he is based, and in the United States (where he lives during part of the year), Britain (where he was educated), and India, where his family traces its roots. An Oxford graduate, he taught at Harvard and is one of few writers whose work, like his interests, transcends cultures.
