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.

The Durham Medical Orchestra’s free spring concert will feature the winner of our inaugural Concerto Competition, Marisa D’Silva, playing Jacques Ibert’s Concerto for Flute and Orchestra. Marisa has been an integral piece of the DMO since its founding, and this concert will showcase both her lyricism and technical brilliance in this lively and expressive piece. The program will also feature the harmonic depth and structural grandeur of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major, and the beloved, dynamic Overture from Poet and Peasant by Franz von Suppé.
Free admission, all are welcome with no tickets required
