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.
