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.

Get ready for a wild and wonderful family-friendly musical adventure, as the Durham Medical Orchestra brings creatures big and small to life through sound in this free concert!
From the buzzing excitement of Flight of the Bumblebee to the quirky charm of Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks, this program will be packed with playful, animal-inspired music. Kids will march along with Gershwin’s Walking the Dog and be swept away by the magical world of Hedwig’s Theme from Harry Potter.
The highlight of the concert is Prokofiev’s classic Peter and the Wolf, a timeless tale where each character is represented by a different instrument, narrated by DMO’s own Tobin Fowler!
This concert is totally free and open to all – join DMO at Grey Stone Church’s Family Life Center for storytelling, imagination, and a whole zoo’s worth of musical fun.
