Nicholas McCarthy is the only left-handed pianist to graduate from the Royal College of Music in its history and is now the youngest solo left-handed pianist in the world. In this TEDx talk he tells his inspirational story of how he overcame scepticism to achieve his dreams.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
