The symposium will also include performances by Berklee students directed by Skip Smith associate professor of ensembles, as well as original music by the student winners of the Songwriting for Social Change Contest.

Victor Wooten, five-time Grammy Award– winning bassist, is known for his solo career and his work as a member of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. Wooten is also a skilled naturalist and teacher, a published author, magician, husband, and father of four.

His book, The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music (Berkley/Penguin 2006), is used in the LHUM-100 Artistry, Creativity, and Inquiry Seminar. Wooten illustrates in his book that musical gifts mirror those from life, and each movement, phrase, and chord has its own meaning, as long as one is open to finding it.
