Australian Doctor's Orchestra

Post by aldona »

I always say that "the medical profession is full of frustrated musicians" - and for the benefit of anyone who will be in Melbourne this Sunday and wants to go to a concert, I'd like to put in a plug for some of them.

All proceeds go to the Cystic Fibrosis foundation (they donate their proceeds to a different medical charity each time they have a concert).

The program consists of:

Humperdinck - "Hansel & Gretel" overture
Beethoven - "Emperor" Concerto
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No.5

I'll definitely try to organize myself to be there.

And no, I'm not in the ADO, but a couple of my work colleagues are. (I knew there was a concert coming up because one of them was taking more and more time off work to practice his violin, but I only just realized it is this weekend!)
