00:00Also, would you make everyone aware that we're going to be seeing some faces?

00:08I was crying spiritually, I was crying physically.

00:12I turned to the Spirit and I asked the Spirit over and over again what one person could

00:19do to heal a sick world.

00:21The Spirit came back with an answer.

00:24Music is the one language that can be understood around the world.

00:29This is the story of how a diminutive great-grandmother tenaciously gathered support from unlikely

00:35corners for her most ambitious project yet, to heal the heart of the world.

00:42She is one of the most extraordinary people I've ever seen because what she thinks and

00:47what she cares about, what she believes in, is what we all should believe in, what we

00:50should all care about.

00:51Wars have been going on for thousands and thousands of years, do I think that music

00:56can change that?

00:58Uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:59Yes, it was about the music, but it was about Vi, it was about the ambience, it was about

01:05the audience.

01:07She's a presence, she's an inspiration.

01:09It's a spiritual gift from my people.

01:12It comes in the form of symphony.

01:14That's the reason the symphony was created actually, but to put part of the spiritual

01:21power that's in the concert that I'm a part of, let that spread out through music.

01:27Thanks to Seattle Symphony, I think it will do its job.
