“One of the most radical thinkers in the unradical world of American classical music.” - Alex Ross, The New Yorker

As the founding artistic director of Street Symphony, Vijay is a nationally celebrated leader in how music can be a transformative force for humanity, connection and hope.

From prisons, county jails and LA’s Skid Row to concert halls, campuses, and companies across the world, Vijay’s work is the embodiment of the generous, generative power of music to heal the world - and ourselves.
