On the magical and mysterious date of 11/11/11, Peter Buffett returns to The ACADEMi of Life to share another magical evening in Concert & Conversation.
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! If you missed him before, don’t miss him this time! With humility and candor 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.”
