The Durham Medical Orchestra, which is associated with Duke University, was founded in 2010 by volunteer musicians with the mission to unite health-related professionals, Duke University, and the surrounding community through musical performance and collaboration to foster health, wellness, and the cultural enrichment of its audiences and members.
The orchestra now has more than 100 members, including health-related professionals, medical and graduate students of the life sciences, colleagues, and family members.
Their music features major compositions from the classical literature as well as contemporary and newly commissioned works.
Concerts frequently include collaborations with community organizations, visual artists, health leaders, local schools, churches, and professional musicians.

Join the Durham Medical Orchestra as we celebrate 15 incredible years of music-making with a program bursting with color, energy, and heart. We open with the sweeping power and soul of Dvořák’s beloved Symphony No. 9, “From the New World.” You’ll love the sparkling brilliance and wit of Bernstein’s Candide Overture, followed by Jennifer Higdon’s shimmering soundscape Blue Cathedral. We’ll finish with the irresistible rhythms of Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No. 2, a piece guaranteed to send you out dancing.
This concert is a celebration of the orchestra’s favorite works from it first 15 years, the joy of performing together, and you – the incredible community that’s grown around their music.
