Description 
You might think that having billionaire investor Warren Buffett as a father would lead to a life of endless privilege and leisure but his youngest son Peter quickly learned that even if you are fortunate to come from a wealthy family nothing can replace achieving your own successes. And, he has done just that! With humility and candor Peter Buffett takes us on an intimate journey of his life sharing his deep respect for the well being of others. His profound storytelling and meaningful music will leave you deeply moved and inspired. Buffett is a truly spiritual man who uses “his gift of music to be the voice of those who don’t have a voice.” The brilliant and gifted cellist, Michael Kott, will accompany Buffett. Following the concert, Author, Emmy Award-winning Musician & Philanthropist Buffett, will engage in a conversation with Elizabeth Lesser, spiritual author and co-founder of the Omega Institute on ”Making a Difference in the Lives of Others.’ Buffett began his career writing music for commercials and has released 15 albums. He has collaborated with singer AKON to produce music to inspire others to take action and make a difference. His $1 billion NoVo Foundation is focused on the empowerment of women and girls around the world.
