After a divorce and with much persuasion, Roberta Guaspari Demetras convinces a school principle in New York to let her teach violin to students. Once on its feet, the program expands and flourishes. It’s not until ten years later that the school system threatens to take away all funding for the program, now integral to both the school and its students. Forced to stand up for the program and determined to reveal the injustice, Demetras contacts The New York Times.
